Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Harman Singh Giving 6 out of 10 while comparing this movie with James Bond series.Positive/Negative: 1. Nice plot for the first part of this new series, but screenplay could have been more interested by only if roles of the actors had been picked up with the pace of the storyline, and I felt Rajat Sharma and Gulshan Grover were wasted with their lame roles, But anyhow "Taimoor Pasha" might be useful in their next sequel.2. Actors are nice but it could have been excellent. Saif needs to look more like a spy and not like a college going boy (only Dress-ups). Kareena was excellent so as Ram Kapoor and Adil Hussain.3. Item Girls are okay but not top of the line; only Malika Haydon was good but she has not shown enough like Bond gals. other wise that Russian gal was so so.4. Camero was used which was old and outdated for a spy movies when they have shown Bugatti Veyron in a Punjab video. 5. Neulcear bomb was like a playing machine it could have been like real nuclear weapon next time try GOGGLE for this thing6. Action scenes were lame comparing with James Bond but far better than "Ek Tha tiger", "Rowdy Rathore", "Dabbang" or "Ready".---------------------------------------------------------------------Anyways there is a famous phase "Rome wasn't built in one day" Will see the next movie with more expectations.---------------------------------------------------------------------Note: this movie is not for those who like Rowdy Rathore Ready or bullshit.

souvipal Dhritiman Chaterji and other old actors are good. Old is gold. Saif should learn from them what is called acting. He trier to be Indian 007. But failed due to his acting and very very very poor script.the technical aspect is OK. better than other recent Indian movies. Karina is totally failed. unnecessary spoiling of bullets in over the movie. overall it is a total failures. According to Raghavan, Agent Vinod is not a remake of the 1977 action film of the same name. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, he described it as "a realistic film [...with????] full of action pieces, thrills and characters. According to box office it proved that it is a total fail."Saif Ali Khan's home production failed miserably at box office and failed to even recover its cost. This was a huge setback for Saif who invested his 2 years in it and one more flop for real life couple Saif and Kareena."

Swapnil Kumar Agent Vinod - 3.75/5 ... i loved the numerous classic references, Bud Spencer, The Five Man Army, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, classic bollywood thrillers, R D Burman's music, Film noir touché', lack of unnecessary bgm, twisty plot, dunno what's there not to like.....of course, it didn't had any pandey or rathore or singham crap going on for it.....but it's quite understandable why it bombed, and all the negative reviews here...when a puny Matt Damon takes on 3-4 people in Bourne, they clap, here, they snapped...it's actually a sign of a hollowness, extreme shallowness in terms of art, where dabangg, singham, house full 2 etc have settled in...don't go with the bad reviews, i'd recommend this film over any other bollywod flick easily...and "raabta" was really shot wonderfully, while shaitaan's khoya chand, was, incomprehensible and just a work of slow down, play, pause, rewind, go fast, etc...

mehboobbawa A brilliant performance by Saif Ali Khan as Agent Vinod and Sriram Raghavan's exceptionally creative direction ensure that this Bollywood take on the James Bond series and the Bourne trilogy is enjoyable fare. While the pace lags at times and the script is a bit uneven, the fantastic production value, exotic locations and wonderfully executed action sequences provide good entertainment value.The film kicks off in the aptly named Desert of Death, somewhere in Afghanistan, where our hero Agent Vinod has to escape the clutches of ruthless terrorists, save his partner and rescue a damsel in distress, all before the opening credits roll. Cut to a video conference discussion with Sir Metla, a supposedly philanthropic Indian businessman based in London and other powerful industrialists, of the Zeus Corporation, all located in various countries across the globe, wherein they speak about a nuclear weapon that they want to place in the hands of a militant Pakistani group fighting against India. They control the world's economies by creating wars between countries. Back at the headquarters of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Vinod is briefed on this plot. Scant information was provided by his partner moments before he is killed by the Russian mafia. His mission is to investigate and eliminate all threats. The operation takes him to Russia, Afghanistan, Morocco, Latvia, Somalia, London, Pakistan, India and eventually Cape Town in search of the masterminds behind this devious plot. En route he teams up with Dr Ruby Mendes, a former Pakistani national framed for a bombing in London which killed many innocent people. She now works undercover for the British and Pakistani intelligence services in Morocco as the personal physician for a key member of the crime network. Ruby and Vinod appear to have a common mission.Director Raghavan and co – writer Arijit Biswas have developed an interesting screenplay which expects the audience to suspend belief as there are one too many conveniences in the plot and some scenes really require a stretch of the imagination. But then again, this is an action packed spy film, not meant to be taken seriously. The film is filled with some wonderfully creative innovations. There are many moments of sheer genius like the shootout in a seedy motel juxtaposed with an intense love song and Vinod's dry dialogues in scenes filled with sheer tension. Raghavan is quite obviously a film buff; the film takes its name from a spy film from the 1970's. He names a character Richard Maibaum, after the screenwriter of many a Bond movie. Prem Chopra, probably the cheesiest Bollywood villain ever, plays one of the villains in the same fashion. The film is filled with retro music from various vintage films. There is a suitably rocking music score by Daniel B. George and superb cinematography by C. K. Muraleedharan, ably assisted by Anil Mehta. It's fun to see some notable South African actors playing the crooked industrialists including Graham Clarke, Neels Coetzee, Paul Cowan, Rafaelle Sabatini, Mike Westcott and Hennie Bosman. In fact while their scenes are set in various parts of the world, it was all shot on location in Cape Town.While individual sequences are edited and directed exceptionally well, the major downfall is that the overall proceedings drag on for far too long. The climax especially, could have been shortened drastically and reworked to create more tension. It's a given that the hero is going to save the day, so to prolong the events is unnecessary.It has some wonderful characters, all excellently cast. Most of the actors acquit themselves of their roles perfectly. Kareena Kapoor as Mendes is sadly the weak link, but then her character is poorly defined. Khan takes top acting honours as he lives and breathes the role of the cool, suave and calculated Agent Vinod. He seems set to return in further big screen adventures.
