Aurangazeb - There is a saying that too many cooks spoil the dish and in the case of Aurangazeb too many characters spoiled this film . It was more of a documentary on Gurgaon Real Estate than Aurangazeb . The plot had lot to offer but the director seems to have taken the unorthodox way to present this film and that spoiled the entire fun that this film had to offer .
Arjun Kapoor in a double role is good and promising . He had shown the difference between the two characters and this being his second film , his act is praise worthy .
saying that , his Ajay character is a continuous act of his Ishaqzaade Parmar and we liked his show in ishaqzaade and so we continue to love his character in aurangazeb also . If Arjun Kapoor's portrayal of Ajay is menacing , the one who steal the show are Prithviraj Sukumaaran and Rishi Kapoor , right in that order . All other characters do their part well and sashaa agha is a big let down and swara bhaskar is completely wasted in a very tiny unimportant role . Amrita Singh is okay and rest pass the buck .
Not to forget Anupam Kher whose role is very important to the story but he comes in just one scene . did he just chose to act similar to that of Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Maara ?
The Story is very simple and that's why I think the screenplay must have been very good . Two familes , one gurgaon .. who will rule the roost ? it's as simple as that . so what will you do when you have such a simple story thread.. you put in lots of characters , make the hero act in a double role , add some father-son , father-second family , mother-son , hero - vamp turned heroine sentiments into it.. first half makes you understand the real meaning of Yawns , the second half is interesting in bits and pieces .. a dialogue here and there brings you back out of your sleep .. in the end you would be wondering who is Aurangazeb in this film ? Arjun Kapoor ? Rishi kapoor ? or Prithviraj ?
The title must have been "Who is Aurangazeb"? or "Aurangazeb Kaun'? or "Pehchaan Kaun"
I am not that good at ratings so I leave it to you .. today being monday the ticket rates must be less ..so all the couples who want some lonely time , all who wanna sleep in AC Theatres can go and watch this.. rest can wait for a month to see it on colors . watch it with advertisements to avoid the feeling of running away from your home or break the television .
