It’s hard to tell whether a director is imprudent, innovative or daring to base an entire film on a missing revolver. At first glance, Aage Se Right appears a bold effort to spin a two-hour long yarn out of a wafer-thin cocoon. But as the film meanders through its clash of wacky characters, with humour squeezed in even where it isn’t essential, ‘Aage Se Right’ loses direction and appeal.
Aagey Se Right is as aimless screenplay can get and as wrong an interesting story idea can turn out to be. The title is as unrelated and unconnected to the movie as much as the movie is to entertainment.
Dinkar Waghmare (Shreyas Talpade) is a coward cop whose service revolver gets stolen on duty. The revolver keeps spinning around the city, changing hands from a multitude of lively characters and in process gets accidental and undue fame to the faint-hearted Dinkar, in the same way Govinda got, more than a decade back in Gambler.
In a parallel track, Kay Kay Menon comes on a mission of mass-destruction to Mumbai but its love at first sight with bar dancer Pearl (Shenaz Treasurywala). A South Indian don (Vijay Maurya) tutors him on tapoori pickup lines to impress the girl and she really gets overwhelmed.
The corny climax is set on a stage show under threat of a clandestine terror attack, where one hero gets to diffuse bombs by snipping off red-green wires, another guns down the villain and the heroine gets scope for another dance number. Alas there's no scope for entertainment!
The poor screenplay of the movie wanders as aimlessly as the gun keeps hanging around, giving no sensible flow to the story. Besides one doesn't quite understand the mood of particular scenes on whether it's intended as skit or serious. Like a couple of awful dream-sequence songs that are seemingly satirical but actually poignant. Vijay Maurya overexerts the South Indian accent making most gags inaudible and incomprehensible. The humour resulting from the language barrier between Maurya and Menon becomes boring after the initial one-liners and the sher-o-shayari is prolonged to unbearable limits.
The pacing is too fast because of which the movie loses better nuances in humour. Like the scene where you are introduced to the don's underground den has some interesting wisecracks which you could lose out on if you aren't attentive sufficient. One can't blame you either for being inattentive towards the otherwise dull proceedings. The most amusing characters in the movie are two plump bodyguards of Vijay Maurya who follow the don anywhere and everywhere he goes.
Shreyas Talpade fails to impress this time around due to bad script. The talented Mahie Gill is immorally wasted. Kay Kay Menon is totally miscast in this loud comedy. Subtle humor suits him more. Shenaz Treasurywala looks fine. Period! Vijay Maurya hams. Shruti Seth annoys. Debutante Shiv Pandit doesn't amuse with uncalled for mimicry.
Overall, It’s an average film. |
