Gautham Vasudevan Menon is on a movie making spree. This year he has got 4 movies up for release already. We are not sure how many more surprises are on its way from this sensible National Award award winning director. With Ek Deewana Tha lined up for release this month (scheduled on 17th Feb), His new movie(s) which is he is filming now is a Tri-lingual. The best part is, its not re-recording of dialogues in different languages with the same lead role, its rather 3 different casting with only lead lady in common, Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Samantha made her debut in Gautham Menon's Telugu version of Ek Deewana Tha (Ye Maaya Chesave). His New release, a Tri-lingual scheduled for a release later this year is "Neethaane En Ponvasantham" with Jiva and Samantha in lead roles, The Telugu version is "Yeto Velli Poyindhi Manasu" has Nani (Naveen Kumar Ghanta, previously an RJ with World Space Satellite) and Hindi version of this movie is "Assi Nabey Poore Sau" with Aditya Roy Kapur in lead.
The Music Will be scored not by AR Rahman or Harris Jayaraj. It will be none other than Isai Gnani Ilayaraja. Yes, The man who is considered the "Emperor" of South Indian Music. AR Rahman was initially slated to work with Gautham Menon for this tri-lingual, but later opted out because of prior commitments. The Movie is produced by RS infotainment and Gautham Menon's Home production, Photon Kathas. The Teaser is now released. The Hindi version is still not in. Have a look!
By the looks of it, anyone would conclude that its a love story. I hope this time, the lovers end up getting married. :-)
We can only guess but not conclude on what's in store. After all, Its Gautham Menon's direction and don't be surprised if you see a twist in the tale.

Official Trailer
Story - Deenanath Chauhan (Chetan Pandit) is a School Master and the Most respected person in the village called Mandwa . He is a person who lives by his principles of doing good to people without expecting a return. He is married and has a Son Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. Mandwa village head's son Kancha Cheena (Sanjay Dutt) is into Drugs business and wants to make Mandwa the center of his Drug trade as the village is along the sea shore. He persuades the villagers to lease their land to him and pay them money in return. This is opposed by Master Deenanath Chauhan .Kancha Eliminates Master Deenanath Chauhan by hanging him in public and in front of his 12 year old Son Vijay Deenanath Chauhan (Vijay). Vijay grows up with only Revenge in mind and his only motive is to go back to Mandwa and Kill the Drug Lord Kancha Cheena.
Hrithk Roshan as Vijay Deenanath Chauhan was brilliant in portraying an Angry, enraged, revengeful youngman. After being in Film Industry for close to 12 years now, Lakshya, Fiza and Mission Kashmir were the only Hrithik Roshan films i liked watching. I have no words to describe his acting in this movie. You got to watch it to know how easily and sensibly the role was carried by Hrithik Roshan. Full marks to him.
Rishi Kapoor as Rauf lala, a Pimp and Drug Lord of Mumbai made a difficult role look so easy. He suits the bill well. After Hrithik Roshan, its Rauf lala you would never want to miss watching. A fabulous change over from his lover boy and Dad next door Image.
Sanjay Dutt as Kancha Cheena was a perfect choice. He does not have much screen space and his presence is felt only in the start and then in the climax.I did have a feeling that if people did exist like this in the 21st Century. Wearing a black gown and without eyebrows and live in a cave. This movie has completely redefined Kancha Cheena's character and Sanjay Dutt gives it a new lease of life. If your kid is not having Dinner tonight, just show him Kancha Cheena's picture and he will gobble down his share of food in a jiffy. Khal Nayak was his best movie ever. You can very well add this movie to his list of best performances. Kancha Cheena will henceforth be remembered as a ruthless Drug Lord.
The Story may be the same as the old one but the script is totally different. The role of Mithun da in the previous one was totally omitted here. After watching this, i now started to think if Mithun da was actually needed in the previous one. The way Karan Malhotra has scripted it, i must say he has done his homework well. By the looks of it, The scenes have come out the way he wanted it. I hope he goes on to give more hits. Karan Malhotra gets full marks again for his brilliant screenplay and direction.
This movie was very well supported by the background score. Indian movies mostly concentrate on songs and most of the times mess up the background score. An Action movie requires a racy background score to keep the momentum of audience ticking and expecting for more. This movie has got that. Ajay-Atul have scored a lot of songs in marathi and even the original Marathi song of Chikni Chameli is their own compilation in their marathi flick Jatra. They Scored music for Singham and now Agneepath. Singham was a blockbuster and Agneepath is on its way.
Agneepath in my view gets 4/5. Go watch it if you still haven't!
