Unmet potentials

KATHMANDU, May 17: Twins Arjun and Vishal (Arjun Kapoor) are separated during their childhood and while Arjun is brought up by his rich business tycoon father, Yashvardan (Jackie Shroff). Vishal, who grows up with his mother, was considered dead in an encounter years ago. But secrets come out and the twins cross path again when they are used by a family of police officers, to bring down Yashvardan, who’s a disguised gangster conducting illegal operations masked by his legal businesses.



Rishi Kapoor plays a power hungry cop who can go to extremes to have his share of power. Arjun Kapoor puts up a good act in both the roles while Shroff’s character is under emphasized in the movie. As far as acting goes, Sashaa Agha, who plays Ritu, is disappointing perhaps because of the insufficiently developed plots surrounding her.[break]



Talking about underdeveloped plots, ‘Aurangzeb’ has many. But perhaps because the story moves on quickly, these loopholes don’t appear as gaping.

The way ‘Aurangzeb’ starts out holds great promises for the movie. It has a gripping plot with a suspense element, acting brilliances and the Bollywood drama elements. But as the movie progresses, the potential takes a downfall and by the end of it all, ‘Aurangzeb’ becomes a satisfactory watch that could have been so much better.



Screening at QFX Cinemas.
