Ram Gopal Verma is a gifted director-he gave us Company,Satya,Shool,Ab tak Chappan,Sarkar n D,,but then he acted like all persons related to Bollywood n gave us-Darna Mana Hai,Darna Zarrori Hai,Vaastu Shastra n all.But this here is his master-piece,a movie with amazing cast,made as a re-make of an amazing movie,in an amazing(SARCASTIC)way.It's kind of disgrace on "SHOLAY" n i think Ramesh Sippy would definitely have thought of not making that movie just to prevent RGV from making a RE-MAKE.But the movie has some-positives=U can torture someone my gifting them a copy,or making them deliberately see this one.Synopsis: Plot=Sholay,,Story=?(u really want to know?),,Acting=PatheticAdvice=Gave it in the summary!!!!

Sholay had great actors, great action, a great story filled with comedy, action, love, thrills, and suspense, great music, great songs, great dialogue, and was based on a real antagonist! It was and is a incredible masterpiece that rules Bollywood!Aag on the other hand is the complete opposite of all of that! Even the song 'Mehbooba' couldn't make up for it! I give it a 1 out of 10 for having guts to try to remaster the master! Also it has awkward camera angles, loud music with unclear dialog, scenes that make no sense, horrible action, horrible romance, horrible song usage, bad acting, and that's just the tip of the iceberg! If you were drunk and high at the same time, you still won't enjoy this movie. You can only watch it to torture yourself or someone else! It melts your brain and guts. Ram Gopal Verma even supported this movie as his baby! He made many promises, but all were broken! This was no where close to Sholay at all! Have a great day and DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!

There is no un-remake-able movie. I mean yes, some classics are awe-inspiring; being too good to be true, let alone the history of you with them. But again and again, there are capable artists who can remake even the most memorable movies as super ones. The makers of (RGVKA) don't belong to this bunch of artists AT ALL. They don't even come near them within 1000 miles! This is a remake of one of the greatest Indian blockbusters ever (Sholay – 1975) which was itself a remake of (The Seven Samurai – 1954), yet a super remake. So, when you intent to remake, you have 2 choices : 1) do something better. Or 2) do something, at least, as good. Clearly it didn't do both. This movie impudently copies the honored, learned by heart, original the way any parrot does. It's really a classic when it comes to embody the detestable shot-by-shot transcribing, the very low remaking, and the stark-naked bankruptcy of the Indian cinema in the 2000s !Let's review the disaster; they thought that by casting (Amitabh Bachchan), one of the original's leads, as the evil man then they got a movie. They were wrong. So wrong. Because nothing was interesting enough, even seeing (Bachchan) himself! The character of (Babban) wasn't something special. Yes, (Bachchan) put some of the Amith magic to it, with tries to give it a bit of originality. But it's still idiot; yawning like a cat meaninglessly, talking in what sounds like great wisdom while all of his lines are so naive, eating in a restaurant while he's one of the most wanted and already a fugitive (!!),..etc. Speaking about originality, Bachchan was wearing the same outfit he wore in (Deewaar : Let's Bring Our Heroes Home) 3 years earlier (??). They gave him more screen time, cared about his own scenes but nothing made him surpass (Gabbar Singh) which was played by Amjad Khan (maybe the prototype of the violent evil man in the Indian cinema since the mid-1970s), or end my feeling about this movie as one of (Bachchan)'s smirches, else (Abhishek Bachchan)! So what's more laughable ? (Prashant Raj)'s haircut as so 70s? The performance of the actor who played the blind father? (Mohan Lal) who is too fat, and too frigid, to be that wounded policeman? Or (Abhishek Bachchan)'s cameo, presence, and his dubbed voice saying (Mahbobba, ahh, Mahbobba) ?!! No. It's the difference between the word (Sholay) and (Aag) since both mean Fire! There are plenty of laughable scenes where you must laugh at the movie not with it; the 2 leads attack some foes; who hold machine guns, with their bare hands and win (???), at the end the survivor lead hits nearly 5 foes, bigger than him and have machine guns, alone by just a short iron pipe !! Well, some people are just lucky (and I'm talking about the ones who didn't have to see this!). Watching the same comic scenes of the original repeating so lifelessly was pathetic; how to forget that hearing the same joke twice is a turn-off?!! (so how about hearing them by weak actors as well?!). This is what bad déjà vu stands for. It makes you ask ; why didn't they CREATE something for their own in these situations (simply why didn't they write a new movie for their own in the first place ?!!). However, they did things of their own indeed…Firstly they removed the song about the colors' festival to the inspector's flash back. How Original ! Secondly, they changed the names. But I read that due to director RGV's infringement of the trademark and copyright of G.P. Sippy (the first movie's producer) the Delhi High Court ordered this changing of names. So even this addition was done by a court's verdict?? Now How Scary ! And thirdly, the presence of the village was so trivial. Because this is not a western anymore, this is another usual, rather trite, action. And when the climax takes place in a huge deserted warehouse with a gang that ride motorcycles then it is close to Robocop more than anything !Director (Varma) had ebullient passion for Nisha Kothari's small sized butt. It was obvious (and boring) to see that so deliberately in every cadre she's in! The movie was one very poor, very dark video clip. The narrow, all indoor, locations were more than provocative since the movie is about a war. Furthermore, he shot nearly the whole thing from an inebriate's point of view, slanting and wobbling all the time, even at the serious parts!! And when the final result is this movie then you have to hate that the director very proudly put his name in the movie's title. That mirrors heavy megalomania. Actually, what's here, Mr. Varma, to be proud about to this extent ?!!!!!!!!Good points? Hmm.. Sushmita Sen for one. Nisha Kothari, by far, for another. The songs were OK. And believe it or not, the references to (Amar Akbar Anthony) and the slight, hardly noticeable, musical ones to (Sholay) were the best of this movie! It is another usual, rather trite, action, and with its statues as a remake of a great, WAS untouchable, movie then it's lamentable ! It utterly deserves being one of the biggest flops in Bollywood history. The difference between it and its original is the same between Pluto and the Sun! But save all the sad feelings, because I know that if the matters of one industry which produces 1100 movies yearly will still the same then we'll have (Amar Akbar Anthony : the remake) very soon. I just hope it'd be less bad! Finally, (Ajay Devgan) has a not handsome, not expressive and so silly face. This movie looks so much like him!
