Aurangzeb Movie Review
Aurangzeb (Hindi)
Release Date:
May 17, 2013Gurgaon is the most modern boom-town of 'India Shining', the new frontier to be conquered by those who understand real estate. This city rose from a small town to a boom town satellite city in just fifteen years.
However the law and order is yet to catch up.
A family of Policemen...A family of Gangsters...
Under the guise of a respected citizen, Yashwardhan (Jackie Shroff) runs a parallel world a world, where he is the Emperor.
To bring down a criminal... the law will have to now think like a criminal!
When Vishal (Arjun Kapoor) is planted in Yashwardhan's world in place of Ajay (Arjun Kapoor), the lawmakers (Rishi Kapoor & Prithviraj) roll the dice and a sequence of events unravel something much more than what Vishal bargained for, as he finds himself in a predicament that puts him to the test!
Aurangzeb is all about a world where Kingship knows no Kinship and where there can be only one Emperor!
Deeply derivative of the traditional Hindi film narrative where blood-ties gain precedence over individual turbulence, Aurangzeb works even in its inept form
Read moreAurangzeb is trying for too much. This makes the film dense and uneven: some parts have power, the others are inert
Read moreWhile the ambition of Aurangzeb is to be lauded, there just isn't enough steam to see it through till the end
Read moreAurangzeb fumbles due to weak writing and an almost stubborn urge to adhere to formula
Read moreThis is a movie that aspires to be about the mini-empires that exist within - and often work against - the Indian republic, but it scuttles its own ambitions midway through
Read moreAurangzeb had the potential to be a much better film. Alas it only comes across as a TV serial sans the melodrama!
Read moreHo-hum gangster saga
Read moreA cliched formulaic drama straight out of the 70's era
Read moreToo lengthy and mediocre
