RAM GOPAL VARMA KI " Aag"
All you wanted to know about 'RGV Ki Aag'
In the dark underbelly of Mumbai City, a nihilistic new leader has risen to rule the underworld. His name is Babban. Cruel beyond imagination, psychotically violent and far more devious than any gangster the city has ever known.
Nobody has ever seen him and if they did, they didn’t survive to tell the tale. But one man believed in his existence. And that is inspector Narahimha, an encounter specialist who has a single minded determination to finish Babban
Here's all you wanted to know about 'Ramgopal Varma Ki Aag'
Amitabh Bachchan as Babban
He perceives other human beings as objects to amuse or occupy him with. When he speaks, he does so to voice his own thoughts. He does not engage in conversation with anyone. He likes to plays with his victims. When he is angry, his eyes take on a glazed look. He seems to be looking at you as you speak, but the focus of his gaze rests in the middle distance.It's as if he's looking right through you. He loves people who challenge him, as then he can enjoy killing them more!
Mohanlal as Narsimha
Narsimha’s eyes retain composure at all times. Dark circles collected over sleepless nights betray the fact he is a man tormented by his own past. His thought have a single point of focus: Babban.
A trained nurse her life blossomed when love happened…and then tragedy strikes. Stoic, dignified, silent, her demeanour hides an inner strength that at times raised itself beyond what one would expect from a woman.
Nisha Kothari as Ghungroo
She drives a ‘rickshaw’ named ‘Laila’. Laila is her best friend and confidante. Ghungroo is Mumbai city’s only woman rickshaw driver. She knows all the shortcuts in Mumbai city. She talks switching between Marathi, Hindi, & English. She’d like you to believe she’s a man. But deep inside, she is all woman.
Two young men from Latur, Hinredra Chavan and Raj Ranade arrive in the megapolis of Mumbai with as big sized dreams of buying out the city. It’s another matter that they are jobless and don’t have enough money even to buy a decent meal. Childhood friends, their loyality is absolute with the younger Raj looking up to the elder Heero.
Sushant Singh as Tambhe
If evil keeps company, none would be greater than the chief henchman of Babban.
'Sholay' set a new benchmark for shot-taking, background score, editing, cinematography and action, catapulting the Indian film industry to a new age. A larger part of my interest in the classic lies in this domain wherein I wanted to re-live and re-interpret assuming that I have an understanding of Mr.Ramesh sippy’s extraordinary achievement.
Having said that I want to make it clear that I have not remade 'Sholay' as everyone is presuming. I have made something from an inspiration of what 'Sholay' has been inspired from. Throughout the late 60s and 70s, there were so many revenge based films. It started from hollywood flicks like 'The Magnificent Seven', 'For A Few Dollars More' to our very own 'Sholay' and this film of mine is an interpretation and a tribute to the essence of all what those films encompassed.
