aurangzeb ( film )
aurangzeb
, a film from yash raj film' s stable, tells the story about the land mafia .
aurangzeb plot is unknown at this time. we will update aurangzeb plot as soon as possible .
on the opening day of aurangzeb, taran adarsh tweeted, “aurangzeb has had a lukewarm start. the general feeling was that the film would open fairly well since arjun kapoor’s debut film ishaqzaade
directed by anees bazmi,' mubarakan' features arjun in a double role for the second time after the 2013 film' aurangzeb'. the film also features actresses
has had a lukewarm start. the general feeling was that the film would open fairly well since arjun kapoor’s debut film
set in gurgaon, aurangzeb puts land mafia and its functioning under the scanner and considering the film' s plot, many feel the title of the film doesn' t gel with its subject .

aurangzeb box office report: the arjun kapoor starrer earns rs 12. 18 crores in the opening weekend - urltoken
he created quite an impact in his debut film' ishaqzaade'. and now, actor arjun kapoor dons a gangster' s avatar in atul sabharwal' s film' aurangzeb'. produced by aditya chopra, the film also features south star prithviraj, rishi kapoor, jackie shroff, amrita singh, deepti naval and swara bhaskar. yesteryear' s actress salma agha, sasha agha makes her debut with this film. here is the first look of the film. by the looks of it, the movie seems to a gritty thriller .
when asked about the same, kapoor said :
as everybody knows that aurangzeb was a mughal emperor and he went to a great extent, even destroyed his own family, to obtain power. this film is titled aurangzeb because human beings can push themselves to any extent to obtain power, to be at the top .
) is a 2014 bengali thriller film directed by sandip ray, based on the novel of the same name by satyajit ray, starring abir chatterjee and sourav das as feluda and topse respectively. the film was released on 19 december 2014. it is the first film which stars abir chatterjee as feluda. this was going to be a reboot to previous feluda film series after
after making an impact in' ishaqzaade' in 2012, arjun kapoor is all set to play a gangster in' aurangzeb' .
what lends its sentimentality a crooked twist is how its premise is relentlessly influenced by the cutthroat philosophy of mughal emperor aurangzeb. director atul sabharwal tackles the conflicting interests of conscience and conditioning with his robustly executed first film for yash raj .
urltoken is a website devoted to providing authentic bollywood news, box - office reports and film reviews .
but this is only maybe five minutes of aurangzeb, which starts off a tad synthetic with dialogues sounding like quotation books instead of conversation .
the film’s editing batters whatever good the screenplay leaves back for the audiences. stretching almost into two and a half hour time slot, the film in the end is unbearably long and heavy on its viewers .
director atul sabharwal, however feels that they' ll up their game next week before the film releases .
arjun kapoor has seen a lot of ups and downs since he has made his debut in bollywood. his first film ishaqzaade was a hit at the box office but he faced a dull phase after it with aurangzeb and finding fanny not doing well .
yash raj films’ next venture aurangzeb is all set to release on may 17, 2013. the film features arjun kapoor in a double role, along with prithviraj, rishi kapoor, jackie shroff, amrita singh, deepti naval, tanvi azmi, sikander kher. directed by atul sabharwal and produced by aditya chopra the film will also mark the debut of sasha aagha .
we have no such intention to promote our film less. i feel the film is reaching up to the people whom it needs to reach. moreover, the time has come when the promotions are done for three - four weeks ,
sabharwal said during a press conference of the film held at an under - construction site .
watch or not? : aurangzeb is a film that lacks vision and deliberately botches up a good script. the film for the entire first part managed to grip on the thrill factor well. by the climax, it converts into a convoluted and repulsive mess. arjun kapoor, rishi kapoor and jackie shroff thankfully manage to infuse in well framed performances making it a manageable watch .
arjun kapoor - starrer
aurangzeb
has drawn a decent response at the box office with an opening day collection of rs. 3. 75 crore .
explaining the tone of the film, he added :
what kind of limit would you push to destroy your own family, your own people and how far would you go for power and that' s where it (aurangzeb) comes into all our characters .
‘mubarakan’ box - office collection day 3: arjun kapoor' s film makes rs 22. 50 crore over first weekend
the monday collections of mubarakan have raised the hopes for the film as it' s just the start of stagnant weekdays .
arjun kapoor, sasha agha starrer aurangzeb opened to a dull start on friday. the yash raj film (yrf) offering managed to earn rs 3. 92 crore. it is interesting to note that past weeks' releases go goa gone and shootout at wadala continue to rake in moolah .
kingship knows no kinship and there can be only one emperor in aurangzeb' s world. in gurgaon, to bring down a criminal the law has to think like one .
mubarakan has been doing quite well as it has crossed arjun’s aurangzeb in just 4 days. mubarakan ‘s opening weekend stands at 22. 91 crores whereas aurangzeb ‘s lifetime collection is 23. 00 crores. it remained steady on monday passing the acid test as it collected 3. 55 crores summing up the total to 26. 46 crores in 4 days .

when we checked the box office standing of the arjun kapoor - rishi kapoor - prithviraj starrer with the leading exhibitor - distributor, akshaye rathi, he was quick to share his view and the film’s bo collections. “ aurangzeb is a classic ‘80s style drama that has had a fairly wide release pan india. for a film that features a one - film - old hero – arjun kapoor in the lead, the numbers are fairly good, but if we measure it against the (rather impressive) scale of his debut ishaqzaade, it could be perceived as a bit of a downer. ”
deeply derivative of the traditional hindi film narrative where blood - ties gain precedence over individual turbulence, aurangzeb works even in its inept form. because, one, sabharwal constructs a compelling, intricate conspiracy of deceit and motive around predominantly grey characters, where chances are anyone can turn a volte face, for better or worse .
it was declared by sandip ray instead of continuing the reboot series he will continue the previous feluda film series after royal bengal rahashya (2011) and sabyasachi chakrabarty will return as feluda and shaheb bhattacharya will return as topshe. there will be two stories in the new film and the film is named double feluda. this is going to be a sequel of royal bengal rahashya (2011) and the movie is a 50 years tribute to feluda. for the cancellation of the reboot series badshahi angti is now considered as a stand - alone reboot film .

will now have to depend on weekend business to consolidate its position, besides performing well on weekdays too. ” and just a few hours ago, he tweeted, “aurangzeb is below par. started on a sluggish note and didn’t show any major growth over the weekend. the film is slightly better in delhi - up circuit. ”

and ileana d' cruz. the film has some electrifying party numbers of which the wedding number' google paake' is ruling the music charts .
each moment in
aurangzeb
tells a heartbreaking story of betrayal and bloodshed, of men and women who have forsaken a life of peaceful sleep to pursue wakeful dreams that leave them famished and restless .
the film' s grand design subsumes a scintillating galaxy of memorable moments. nothing in the film is what it seems. there are illegitimate relationships and business interests jostling with their more constitutional counterparts. the twins - device serves as a vivid indication of the moral ambiguities that undercore the world of corporate deals .
the film received mostly positive reviews from critics. shomini sen of ibnlive gave it 3 star out of 5, and said :
sandip ray offers a genuine film which creates the same magic of feluda in modern times
. the times of india gave it 3 and a half star out of 5 .
the film, made on a budget of rs. 25 crore has managed good business in delhi, uttar pradesh and east punjab territory, said a statement .
over the top promotions, and splashing stars and everyone associated with a film all over tv channels, seems to be the way to promote films these days. which is why it' s a bit baffling as to why the promotion for yash raj films' aurangzeb, starring a relative newcomer (arjun kapoor) has been so low key, considering it releases in a week .
mr. kapoor and mr. shroff, stars of an earlier generation, are well cast and well matched. where a ’70s hindi film might pit villagers against an evil landowner, “aurangzeb” paints a more complex picture of villainy. because there’s no check on the thieving classes, corruption is everywhere, and the vulnerable — like the farmers whose land has been slated for development — will be quashed .
the film stars kapoor in a double role along with prithviraj sukumaran, sashaa agha, swara bhaskar jackie shroff, rishi kapoor, amrita singh, sikander kher and kavi shastri .
whether all kids inherit their parents’ moral temperament i do not know but where bollywood is concerned, its conditioning on filmmakers is undeniable. and going by what the inspired but engaging aurangzeb has to offer, it’s not such a bad thing .
' mubarakan' box - office collection day 4: arjun kapoor' s film rakes in rs 3. 50 crore on its first monday | hindi movie news - times of india
and if you wondering why the mughal emperor aurangzeb’s name has been used; well we’re told he was a traitor, who proclaimed that' kinship shouldn’t come in the way of kingship.' in other words the end justifies the means. .
this brings us to the second and most stealing aspect of aurangzeb - - its casting (shanoo sharma). prithviraj sukumaran’s clean - cut persona stands out in a role that demands subtle cynicism, restrained force, suppressed emotionality and dry humour .
the film s estimated $ 100. 5 million take for the three - day weekend helped director patty jenkins break another glass ceiling, with the best domestic opening for a female director .
and because aurangzeb ’s momentum is steady and swift, the loopholes are skilfully minimised even if only temporarily. so, sure, you do wonder about the loosely established relationships, convenient set - ups and undisclosed footage of significant reactions, but much later .
this incident is from back when he was making his debut in bollywood. arjun refused to share a car with his co - stars, when travelling for a promotional event for aurangzeb. can you imagine his tantrums now that he is a big star ?
aurangzeb could have been so much better, perhaps even a classic. it is atul sabharwal’s faulty treatment that leaves it shaky. there is immense passion and thrill in the story, which its actors remit strongly. i am going with an average 2. 5 / 5 for the film. the thrill ends up flaccid killing all that could have been sensational! optimistically, i expect something more stirring and less misplaced from the team sometime soon !
here’s the weekend breakup – friday rs 3. 92 crores, saturday rs 3. 91 crores and sunday rs 4. 35 crores. will aurangzeb be declared a bonafide hit all over in the coming days? watch this space for more box office updates !
arjun kapoor, sasha agha starrer aurangzeb opened to a dull start on friday. the yash raj film (yrf) offering managed to earn rs 3. 92 crore. trade analyst taran adarsh tweeted on saturday ,
# aurangzeb fri 3. 92 cr .
it is interesting to note that past weeks' releases go goa gone and shootout at wadala continue to rake in moolah at the box office. till thursday, shootout at wadala collections were a commendable stack at rs 57. 12 crore. taran listed on twitter ,
# saw [ 2nd week ]: - fri 2. 02 cr, sat 2. 33 cr, sun 2. 57 cr, mon 1. 20 cr, tue 1. 17 cr, wed 1. 01 cr, thu * est * 1 cr. grand total: 57. 12 cr .
according to taran, the overseas' earnings of the film were ,
# aurangzeb * uk * fri £ 7, 583 on 37 screens... * australia * fri a $ 3, 014 on 7 screens... * new zealand * fri nz $ 1, 717 on 7 screens .
the film is a marvel of impeccable casting. every actor gives his best, none more so than rishi kapoor who as the illimitably corrupt cop pulls off yet another masterly antagonist' s part .
the warner bros. and dc comics film had generated a huge buzz, based partly on a critical reception that was unusually warm for a superhero film; it got a 93 percent rating on the rotten tomatoes website. the movie was helped as well by the attraction of israeli star gal gadot, known for her part in the popular
fast and furious
series, as the fit and fearless amazonian .
has been termed as a laughter riot by fans and critics alike. going by the box - office numbers looks like this multi - starrer aneez bazmee film is cashing in on the good word of mouth factor .
there are two infants in question in aurangzeb —identical twins who have been separated at birth. one has evolved into a swaggering brat who has never handled a shaving blade or seen the insides of a hair - cutting salon. the other is on standby, waiting to be inserted into the story .
and it placed the movie far above the second - leading film, another new release ,
captain underpants: the first epic movie ,
which took in $ 23. 5 million, according to website exhibitor relations .
the good part of the film is when you see such well etched out characters, mostly the male ones. the female characters seem too vulnerable; however this review is not my place to make a feminist remark on that !
there’s a dramatic twist here (which i am obviously not going to reveal) that ensures aurangzeb doesn’t draw too many comparisons from the likes of the departed, the devil’s double or even don. (though there is moment that squeals skyfall whereas the background score is reminiscent of the dark knight rises. )
in december 2014, director sandip ray revealed, the sequel to this film will be based on gangtokey gondogol, and another sequel will be nayan rahasya if he finds an actor who is suitable for jatayu' s role. but in 2016 sandip ray cancelled the reboot series because abir chatterjee started a new version of film series based on byomkesh bakshi franchise under shree venkatesh films and surinder films. the other reason was the new feluda movie sandip ray intended to make under a mumbai based production house eros international, but abir has a strict contract with shree venkatesh films and surinder films. for the cancellation of the reboot series badshahi angti is now considered as a stand - alone reboot film .
aurangzeb
springs many unexpected surprises. it is a work which doesn' t shy away from screaming silences and penetrating whispers. the softspoken words delivered in a natural even pitch is often so far - reaching in their implications that we keep returning to the dialogues much after the characters have spoken them and moved on .
the other kapoor, arjun shows remarkable poise and volume in his second film and first double role in the company of stalwarts. though it could have been a far better written part, especially ajay, he consciously maintains a distinction between the twain .
shooting begun from early 2014. 60% shooting was captured in kolkata, and rest of the shooting was in lucknow. in mid - 2014, director sandip ray said
we will finish shooting by october and release the film in december .
the title is supposed to work as a metaphor, in the same way as the hollywood film chinatown (1974) and shanghai (2012) are about abstract ideas (falsehood and aspiration respectively) rather than actual places. aurangzeb is about inheritance, and it initially seems that sabharwal might be able to bring new ideas to the cliché that blood is thicker than water. his movie is spilling over with characters that conform to the popular stereotype of mughal emperor aurangzeb—a ruthless and power - hungry maniac whose path to the throne is littered with the bodies of family members and acquaintances. the battleground is transported into a boardroom, and a bottomed - out war chest becomes a loss - making balance sheet. this is a movie that aspires to be about the mini - empires that exist within—and often work against—the indian republic, but it scuttles its own ambitions midway through. it becomes yet another movie about twins separated by circumstance and brought together by hindi cinema .
yes, mubarakan is a multi - starrer but that does not strike off arjun kapoor’s performance in it which has been getting positive reviews from many. anil kapoor out - shines everyone in the film but still, arjun has worked double the hard for it .
aurangzeb
has an epic sweep to its storytelling. but it' s also an intimate portrait of family values gone to waste. it is really the sound of stifled sobs that we carry home of characters who thought they knew it all only to realize at the end that they somewhere lost track of their inner self in pursuit of distant dreams .
at first
aurangzeb
seems plotted with too many twists and turns. and then as you watch the tale of twin bothers (arjun kapoor, very much in character) and a stepbrother, played by prithiviraj, who turns out to be the moral foundation of this empire of compulsions, you fall into the rhythm patterns of sabharwal' s quiet volatile and implosive storytelling .
actor arjun kapoor plays a double role in the film. the movie talks about yashvardhan, a real estate owner played by jackie shroff, and the chain of his illegal activities. the police decides to crack down his wrong doings by replacing his son ajay with an identical man vishal .
yes, much in
aurangzeb
is imperfect. the ambivalent tone of authenticity in a plot that seems inpired by the melodramatic blockbusters of the 1970s is really an exercize in self - indulgence. it' s as if the director wants to prove his intellectual superiority over the material he has chosen to deconstruct. but the contradictory tone somehow works in a way we' ve never seen before .
interestingly, aurangzeb doesn’t demonstrate any depth to examine the impact of role - playing, and change in circumstances on arjun kapoor’s psyche but both - - prithviraj (by way of voiceover that offers a constant peek into his thoughts) and rishi kapoor (his candid conversation with deepti naval showing his innermost anxieties to his frighteningly supportive partner) - - emerge as the more fleshed - out characters of this stylish drama .
arjun kapoor crosses comfortably into both the nefarious kingdoms. playing the traditional' ram aur shyam' game, he seems to nail the brotherly mirror - image into a slide show of shifting loyalties. it' s a compelling double whammy from an actor who made a sizeable impact with his first film last year .
the plot of “aurangzeb” is inevitably too complicated, and the themes presented more interestingly than they are wrapped up. but for much of the nearly two - and - a - half - hour running time, it ably weaves time - honored bollywood tropes — twins (played by arjun kapoor) separated as babies, parent - child reunions, crosses and double - crosses — with contemporary outrage at the rules of the game .
if it continues the same trend, mubarakan can surpass arjun kapoor’s finding fanny, tevar and ishaqzaade too, lifetime of which stands at 35. 91 crores, 39. 00 crores, and 45 crores respectively. the monday collections of mubarakan have raised the hopes for the film as it’s just the start of stagnant weekdays .
the screenplay wavers and kills the well set aura of the story. the music isn’t memorable either, but manages decently through the film. it is sad to see young scriptwriters forgetting the plain art of simply story telling. being complex seems like the new cool thing but when it comes to cinema nothing can be more pristine than simplicity .
but in 2016 sandip ray cancelled the reboot series because abir chatterjee started a new version of film series based on byomkesh bakshi franchise under shree venkatesh films and surinder films. the other reason was the new feluda movie sandip ray intended to make under a mumbai based production house eros international, but abir has a strict contract with shree venkatesh films and surinder films .
according to the latest report on boxofficeindia. com, the film has collected an estimated rs 3. 50 crore on its first monday, taking the collections to rs 26 crore in total.' mubarakan' started its run at the box - office with rs 5 crore on friday followed by rs 7. 25 on saturday and rs 10. 25 on sunday .
supreme power and supreme wealth are what the characters seek in this film. funny, how they end up nullified or dead at the end. none more so that the all - powerful cop played by rishi kapoor. a closet - extortionist, this powerful policeman' s family - mafia runs parallel to jackie shroff' s vast empire of drugs and other criminal activities .
the spot boys on the sets of ek tha tiger were forbidden from fetching salman, because he insisted on getting out of his vanity van when he willed! as a result, everyone from the director to his co - stars were reportedly left waiting indefinitely for the go ahead from him. the collective curses of the entire crew probably explain the critical reception of the film .
the bad bits are when the story shows its lead characters shifting their loyalties so easily with providing ample sense for it. be it ajay’s loyalty for the man who abducted him or vishal feeling the familial tug for his father he never knew, their love and loyalties are extremely promiscuous. quite often in the film, i lost track of people and events and that surely didn’t help .
prithviraj who made his hindi debut with the disastrous
aiyya
last year, springs a stunning surprise as arjun' s half - brother. he is the voice of this vast plot' s nebulous conscience. it' s finally prithviraj who redeems the film' s shifting moral values to recover a moral centre for a world that seems to spin out of control with its penchant for power and greed for wealth .
“aurangzeb, ” atul sabharwal’s dark fable about corruption and family ties, begins with a quote from horace: “deep in the cavern of the infant’s breast, the father’s nature lurks, and lives anew. ” and it borrows its name from the mughal emperor who imprisoned his father (shah jahan of taj mahal fame) and killed his brothers and son. mr. sabharwal’s movie has echoes of both: blood will tell — evil lurks in the evil man’s son, goodness in the good man’s. but also blood will flow — kinship, in certain ruthless precincts, is no guarantee of safety .
los angeles (afp) - it took a long time for wonder woman to get her due. long after such male characters as superman, batman, iron man and even aquaman and ant - man made the leap from comic books to the silver screen - - and 76 years after she first appeared in print - -
wonder woman
the film made a splashy debut this weekend on north american screens, netting just over $ 100 million .
welcome to the world of unstoppable ambitions. half - realized dreams thread their way through sabharwal' s intricate plot, much like those gigantic cement - mortar - glass skyscrapers that kiss the sky in half - constructed questionable glory in the film' s excellently - composed frames. the cinematography by n. karthik gnaesh provides a panoramic view of gurgaon' s super - affluent landscape. it also provides us an insight into the anxious souls of half - finished lives trapped in the mirage of their absurd aspirations .
i was excited to find such a good script after a long time. the writer sure to have lived and breathed in the ambiance he recreates in the story, knows the details of the lives of the people he wishes to portray. it is the screenplay’s fault that he botches up climatic hilts making the storyline fumble at too many places throughout the film. basing the pivotal assumptions on the concept of power, the story is constantly shifting from political to corporate, with crime prevailing through them both in essence .
gurgaon is the most modern boom - town of
india shining
, the new frontier to be conquered by those who understand real estate. this city rose from a small town to a boom town satellite city in just fifteen years. however the law and order is yet to catch up. a family of policemen - a family of gangsters - under the guise of a respected citizen, yashwardhan (jackie shroff) runs a parallel world - a world, where he is the emperor. to bring down a criminal - the law will have to now think like a criminal. when vishal (arjun kapoor) is planted in yashwardhan' s world in place of ajay (arjun kapoor), the lawmakers (rishi kapoor and prithviraj) roll the dice and a sequence of events unravel - something much more than what vishal bargained for, as he finds himself in a predicament that puts him to the test. aurangzeb is all about a world where kingship knows no kinship and where there can be only one emperor .
ajay and vishal (arjun kapoor) are twins separated by a set of adamant parents—jackie shroff and tanvi azmi; he, a notorious real estate developer and she, a conscientious homemaker who turns police informer. and, there’s a family of cops—rishi kapoor, prithviraj, sikander kher, who wear tainted uniforms; introduced in the film’s opening sequence as collectors. by a twist of fate, the twins find their lives entwined with that of the cops. the real - estate developer’s wife and one twin are saved by an honest cop (anupam kher) in a bizarre' encounter'. and he keeps them hidden for 25 years. in what is a convoluted plot, the dishonest bunch of policemen (rishi and co) makes plans to kill jackie shroff, his estranged wife, their twins and take over their empire. so they plant one of the twins as an infiltrator .

is primarily about inheritance of character from parent to child. and the opening underlines this theme with a quote from roman poet horace, ‘deep in the cavern of the infant’s breast; the father’s nature lurks, and lives anew. ’
against the relevant backdrop of land - grabbing in gurgaon and its deep - rooted network within corporate sectors, political parties and corrupt law and order, sabharwal weaves an old - fashioned yarn about family - - both close - knit and estranged .
on one hand there’s a family of cops - - ravikant (rishi kapoor), his nephew arya (prithviraj sukumaran) and son dev (sikander kher). the stern, resentful arya models himself along the lines of the supremely assertive ravikant as opposed to his long disgraced, defeated father (anupam kher) .
meanwhile, yashwardhan (jackie shroff) is a successful tycoon running illegal industries, masked under the impression of his authorised businesses, assisted by the sharp neena (amrita singh). he has given up on making sense of his brash son, ajay (arjun kapoor), the proverbial cad whiling away his time partying with / beating up his annoyingly compliant girlfriend, ritu (sasheh agha) .
light - eyed agha, no matter how much (and frequently) she exposes, cannot distract the viewer from her serious lack of talent and feeble screen presence. her so - called intense scenes with kapoor are plain comical and completely dampen the screenplay. she fares better in the recording studio though with her spunky rendition of barbaadiyan .
the real discord begins after arya discovers ajay’s lookalike, vishal (kapoor) and plants him in ajay’s place to collect evidence against yashwardhan in the backdrop of gurgaon’s glossy landscapes (with surreal shots of its bokeh - lit traffic by n karthik ganesh) .
rishi kapoor is at the top of his game and inspires awe through the stunning curve he draws within the story. to rave any more could lead to revelations that are best enjoyed on one’s own .
it' s also great to see jackie shroff render the proceedings his characteristic charisma, warmth and grit in a somewhat neglected role .
none of the senior girls - - amrita singh, deepti naval and tanvi azmi - - are moulded in pure convention and make a statement with their fiercely kohl - ed eyes and sturdy point of views. sadly, in the case of their junior colleagues, agha doesn’t have the potential while swara bhaskar isn’t given enough scope to bite .

with a lofty quote from horace, the roman chronicle of empire: “deep in the cavern of the infant’s breast, the father’s nature lurks, and lives anew. ” the movie that follows the quotation, however, moves determinedly away from profundity and towards banality .
and there are at least three fathers—a gangster who is moving aggressively into the construction business in gurgaon, an honest cop, and a corrupt cop who sets the whole thing into motion when he swaps the good egg for the bad one. by replacing ajay (
( 1978), vishal effortlessly slides into his new role. the small - town boy makes a butter - smooth entry into a world of big money and powerful players. his father yashvardhan (
) doesn’t notice that his son is no longer rude and violent. yashvardhan’s scheming and sharp - eyed mistress (
), who wants to run her own empire, misses the transformation. ajay’s girlfriend ritu (
) wakes up to the deception only after her otherwise testosterone - influenced boyfriend slips under the sheets with her. there is a potentially fantastic morning - after sequence here, but sabharwal passes on the opportunity .
), who has a connection with the twins. the moral centre, inevitably, is located in the widowed mother (
). the convolutions and contrivances in sabharwal’s screenplay lead to yet another inevitability—a mexican - style shootout in which everybody points guns at everybody else and 80% of the cast conveniently gets blown off the screen .
although there is never a dull moment in the lives of the characters, the 140 - minute movie curiously lacks momentum. the gurgaon setting holds immense promise, but it isn’t deployed in the screenplay in any effective way. the family - economy - industry - politics cocktail was mixed far better by
( 1981). the performances are strictly serviceable. arjun kapoor’s rawness is all too evident, but he fares marginally better than prithviraj sukumaran, who provides the voiceover and disgorges chunks of hindi dialogue with a discernible malayali accent .

in mr. sabharwal’s movie the ruthless precinct is gurgaon, the boomtown satellite of delhi. its runaway development means everyone’s on the take, not just the criminal family led by yashwardhan (jackie shroff) but also the police clan led by a magnificently shifty ravikant (rishi kapoor) .
and the landscape will change. in scene after scene high - rises under construction poke their heads into the polluted yellow sky .

plot: gurgaon is the most modern boom - town of “india shining”, the new frontier to be conquered by those who understand real estate. this city rose from a small town to a boom town satellite city in just fifteen years .
under the guise of a respected citizen, yashwardhan (jackie shroff) runs a parallel world – a world, where he is the emperor .
gurgaon is the most modern boom - town of “india shining”, the new frontier to be conquered by those who understand real estate. this city rose from a small town to a boom town satellite city in just fifteen years .
a slice from the world of gurgaon’s real estate politics, the gamers are cops and criminals, matching steps with each other. in order to destroy yashwardhan singh, a mafia lord of the real estate business, dcp ravikanth tweaks out strings of his past. replacing his heir ajay, with his long lost son, vishal, the game continues to see who wins the edge .
arjun kapoor is a double treat in his double role. going by the knotty character he plays, it is commendable that he manages to deliver without faltering. showing commendable promise in acting may be he doesn’t give a memorabilia, but he is one actor to look out for in the tinsel town .
rishi kapoor plays his role shrewdly and managed to command power all through. in the role he had, it was easy to turn into rubble, but he praiseworthily manages well .
jackie shroff blows his fans over in his wonderful stint. from being at the zenith of power to a fallen hero, shroff does it with great dignity .
prithviraj needs to brush off his southern twang, but besides that he is marvelous and powerful actor. perhaps, south’s last gift to bollywood !
amrita singh who is back on silver screen after a while manages to stay magnetic all through .
debutant sasheh agha is all skin show and no prowess. she can’t emote and that’s her problem! besides that beauty won’t take her far in bollywood anymore !
atul sabharwal evokes seething anger for not doing justice to the story he had. with a delicious premise like that, he barely manages to serve us anything beyond mediocrity. trying to deal with too many subjects and points, he loses himself in the web of interpersonal relationships of his characters and the nail biting plot that he had. he has written excessive plots and sub plots, which gets tedious and arduous by the end .

sapna se badaa apna hota hai... it' s okay to sacrifice one' s dreams for the sake of those you love. this is a recurrent thought in this hard - hitting family drama about fatally flawed people who flock together, in search of a happiness that is snatched from them by a fate far more cruel and savage than what we generally see as destiny .
the destiny that seems to underline the lives of writer - director atul sabharwal' s drama of family feuds is as flawed as it is rich in resonances. and why not! perfection is as boring as it is unbelievable. sabharwal spreads out a hectic hefty horizon of dark grey black and ominously immoral people who share a common genealogy but are not afraid to kill one another for personal gains .
i' ve to make mention of the very talented swara bhaskara who plays prithiviraj' s wife. the super - talented girl has just two brief sequences. but she wrenches your heart. tanve azmi' s motherly act has its moments. amrita singh as a scheming she - devil is the traditional home - breaker. it' s a stereotypical bad - girl role, given a reined - check by the actress' ingrained grace. sasheh agha in a role clearly inspired by parveen babi in yash chopra' s
deewaar
is cast in a role that deserved a far better actress .
atul sabharwal' s direction bears ruminative remnants of the mighty filmmaking legacy of yash chopra and mani ratnam. the script outwardly sounds like a potboiler about the shifting equation between the legitimate and the outcast. but the tone adapted to tell this potboiler tale is authentic, underplayed and constantly credible. it' s as if manmohan desai suddenly decided go the way shayam benegal did in
