Review of Aurangzeb

Aurangzeb (2013)
8/10
Fresh, Out-of-the-Box Entertainer!!
25 May 2013
Just came back after seeing the film. For those of us, who prefer the Khans' stereo-typed mannerisms, or the wackiness of Ranbir, or the antics of has-beens like the Deols, this film may be boring. But I was looking for something new, something novel, something out-of-the box and something with fresh faces. Aurangzeb qualifies on all counts. The action is non-stop, the dialogs are crisp, there are no annoying song-dance sequences and no romantic or comic interludes. Of course Rishi excels, but he is a veteran. The credit goes to new comer Arjun Kapoor in a double role. He is the son of Boney Kapoor from his first marriage to Mona Kapoor, and an admirably good actor, in contrast to many star sons. Arjun, together with Prithviraj Sukumaran, from Kerala, carry the entire film on their shoulders. This film has many shades of gray. The baddies have good qualities and the do-gooders have their criminal intentions. The twists and turns keep one engrossed in the movie. Full marks to the Writer and Director, Atul Sabharwal!! Go for it, folks!!
