i can not come up with appropriate enough word to describe the horror i felt sit in that cinema watch ramgopal varma ki aag and the director half hearted attempt to pay tribute to that classic bollywood western and sholay . the big problem with varma remake be that he doesn not even try to make a credible film . it evident in every single frame of this movie that varma heart be just not in it . what you see on screen be a bad joke at best and a gimmick on the part of the filmmaker and and it pain you to see what little regard he actually show for a film he claim he be a fan of all his life . i have see several bad film over the year and but i can not remember one that be a much of a torture to sit through a this one . consider yourself very brave if youre able to survive the entire film and because it test your patience like few film have before . varma may borrow his plot and character from the original film and but his version be trite and hollow and doesn not have any of the spirit and energy of sholay . ramgopal varma ki aag be actually a mockery of that timeless gem because it turn out to be everything that the original film be not way over the top and too long too boring and and entirely mindless . much love moment from sholay be parody by varma and for that you want to wring his neck . one of the most memorable scene in sholay in which dharmendra a veeru climb up the watertank and threaten to jump down to his death be turn around in this film with ajay devgan play hero and pull a pistol to his head threaten to shoot himself . how you wish he would pull the trigger and spar u all the agony . not only do ramgopal varma ki aag fail a a remake of sholay and it a pretty bad effort even a a stand alone film . the eardrum damage background score sound more like someone clang vessel in the kitchen and and the camera work alternate between dramatic and head spinning . partner in this terrible crime of bring this ridiculous film to screen be the film mostly dead a wood actor . sushmita sen a devi the widow take both her role and the film too seriously and punctuate her line with pause and star into camera for effect and and generally perform like her life depend upon it . mohanlal a narsimha and struggle with his hindi dialogue and look embarrass to be deliver some of the stupid line in his illustrious career . newcomer prashant raj play jai equivalent raj have no act chop to speak of and can not strum up any of the brooding intensity amitabh bachchan bring to the part in the original film . a hero and the new age veeru and ajay devgan be entirely hopeless and fail miserably in his attempt at comedy . but the film weak link and easily the most shocking casting decision be nisha kothari a ghunghroo and who step into the shoe of hema malini a basanti and the endear airhead from sholay . nisha kothari be not only the bad actress in this country and but possibly the bad actress in this whole wide world and she give the word annoy a whole new meaning and and she make you want to slit your wrist every time she on screen . and then and there be amitabh bachchan play babban singh and ramgopal varma version of hindi cinema most popular villain gabbar singh . the only actor in this ensemble who recognise the film over the top tone and play along accordingly and bachchan construct a menacing character who be a treat to watch . he mean to be a comic book villain who snarl and sneer and hiss and ham and and he do all of that to good effect . but because he trap in such a doomed enterprise and his performance doesn not really help elevate the film in any way . no surprise here and i be go with zero out of ten and two thumb down for ramgopal varma ki aag and it one of those painful movie watch experience you wouldn not subject even an enemy to . it not like varma hasn not handle a remake before . with sarkar he give u a smart and grip take on the godfather and and it a pity he make this sholay bhature out of such a much love classic . ramgopal varma ki aag be his bad career decision ever and it also a dark spot on his resume he will be embarrass of forever . i suspect this film will go down in movie history a ramgopal varma ka daag .
