TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
PiraBit
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Hadrina
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Ogosmith
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

RGV starting scaling down and reached hell with thisHe tried to re make SHOLAY and made CHOLEYThe film is a disaster, like you are watching a B grade and C grade filmThe film is horrible to say the least Babban looks like a jackass Ajay looks like A south hero with a weird dressing sense The other hero is bad Nisha should shut up Sushmita was okayThe film is so funny you can pass it off as a comedy Every scene looks like a c grade filmRGv is bad Music is badAmitabh makes faces, overdoes it terribly Mohanlal is decent, his accent is bad Ajay sucks especially in suicide scene Prashant is okay Sushmita is okay Nisha sucks

To paraphrase Anupam Kher after the much anticipated film "Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja" bombed big time "When a movie becomes hit, anything and everything about it is appreciative..... however when a movie sinks, you will see it laden with flaws". Sholay both old and new is the best example. There have been numerous attempts where classics have been touched (Devdas & Don) and emerged victorious primarily because extra precaution was exercised. Even interpretations like Maqbool & Omkaara (and Bergman's Romeo & Juilet) were acknowledged and applauded. Wonder why RGV couldn't see it coming... Vinaash Kaale Vipreet Buddhi!A lot of has typing skills have been put to test so I won't go much that route. Every frame shouted "FOUL!" and yes, the only magical moments were when Big B appeared in the frame. He gave more than 100% but one swallow doesn't make a summer. Also it brings up a million dollar question: can Big B don the antagonist hat at all?In the process of construction of scenes, the emotional content has gone missing. For instance, why worry if Thakur shaves or not. In the first viewing these nuances doesn't matter. Only in repeat viewing, the human mind begins to play devil's advocate. To paraphrase Big B's lines from Silsila "Main Aur Meri Tanhai Aksar Yeh Baatein Karte Hain, Tum Hoti Toh Aisa Hota, Tum Hoti Toh Waisa Hota, Tum Is Baat Par Hansti, Us Baat Par Hairan Hoti....."The interpretation of Aag is on similar lines... "Yeh Hota Toh Kaisa Hota... Woh Hota Toh Kaisa Hota!!" IMO - Aag was a result brain-storming exercise with RGV playing chess on both sides.

RGV's Aag is one of the advanced movies for it's released time coz it's made in a retro + B movies style. RGV deliberately gave that style to the movie. Unfortunately, the Indians are not ready for retro + B genre. He made this in that style because already lot of movies have been branded as remakes of sholey such as china gate(though it's a remake of seven samurai which again was an inspiration for sholey), mela....What do you think RGV who gave us films like Stays, COmpany, and Bhooth is such an idiot to make a B movie without his knowing? The answer is he made it deliberately with style i.e., RGV's stamp.Even the global audiences are not ready for this kinda movies coz the recent grindhouse was a flop though it could be enjoyed.So, what i want to say is that do not say sholey cannot be remade as the fact remains that it could be remade but it cannot be as big a hit as sholey was.Here, I hats off to RGV for giving us a fine piece of film making. As for the performances, i thing, every actor is superb in his own respect. Yes, Amitabh has given stellar performance but Mohan lal has given no less than a powerhouse performance. In fact, Mohan has given Amit run for his money.One more thing, Nish is so funny in the movie esp'lly with her Tapori accent and she has improved her acting skills. Come on guys, what do you expect from Aag, a classic. See the title which itself suggests its contents inside.Aur haan, this is not a biased review, just in case you think so. Honestly, I am a hardcore fan of RGV's, but still this is a genuine and careful review. ANd, I am not angry on anyone while writing is up.Keep making movies, RGV!
BahHumbah
Truly shows that hype is not everything. Shows by and by what a crappy actor abhishek is and is only getting movies because of his dad and his wife. Amitabh as always is solid. Ajay Devgan as always is shitty and useless and the new guy is a joke. The leading lady is such a waste of an actor. Such pathetic movie from such a revered director and from such a big industry. With movies as such I have decreased the amount of bollywood movies I watch.RGV has been making very crappy movies for a while now. Time to get different actors. Hrithek anyone? Bollywood needs Madhuri and Kajol back. Every other leading lady is a half-naked wanna be. Pffffft.
