Don't listen to the negative reviews
Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Lets just admit it, Bollywood isn't ready to make movies which are pretty mysterious or thrilling flicks like James Bond,etc. If you haven't seen the best of mystery thrillers like Casino Royale and Skyfall fortunately you may like this movie but a person like me would find it any good.The problem with this flick is that the narrative is too slow and the director has put in many unnecessary characters just for the sake of doing so. Even the love story of Saif's and Kareena's characters is stretched and does no good to the story's plot. The sub-plots are also highlighted in a clumsy manner.Anyhow, it is a movie which starts with promise but ends in a rather sad and ineffective note. It is a movie that will entertain you in bits and you will be left unsatisfied with this effort.
I mean, seriously, HOW could SO many people downright LOATHE this film? Yes, it's a departure from director Sriram Raghavan's past work. Yes, Kareena's character Iram is (the only character) badly written. Yes, Vinod may rely too much on luck at times, but that's the thing, isn't it?It's a MOVIE, a DREAM of the director, where ANYTHING can happen. And, to that respect, Agent Vinod is actually logical, and makes sense, something rare in Indian action flicks, since most are just rip-offs of South Indian actioners, with a single hero sending 20-30 baddies flying with one, hand movement, or whatever it is.The action is frantically energetic, but still controlled and realistic. Agent Vinod has many great gunfights, and feels a lot like an action- espionage video game more than a film. Which isn't bad.Nonetheless, Agent Vinod has great characters, and a nice plot, within all that action. Saif Ali Khan is sharp as RAW agent Vinod, and the supporting cast just add even more to the entire film by their performances as the numerous villains of Agent Vinod. Ram Kapoor and Adil Hussain, especially, are great.There are only a few problems I had with Agent Vinod. The underwritten and unnecessary female part of Kareena, leading to lack of the Saif- Kareena chemistry (which seemed to be the only thing that the dumb people watching this film cared about), and the songs are mediocre, I guess. Otherwise, you've got a pretty bombastic, explosive, yet smart espionage thriller that SHOULD have been the flagship Indian secret agent bonanza at the box office, if only the consumers would have cared less for masala, and more for good cinema, that's wholly entertaining as well as smart.
Movie devoid the music is very good... Saif Ali Khan is a very talented actor and he has again proved that here... Though he is the "lesser" Khan of the industry, he has come up with an excellent performance here... I think that the movie still lacked some "big" names!!! Might have been a reason for its not so great performance, a part from the disastrously "composed" (read copied) music!!!No idea why people say that the music is good, it is good only because the original tracks were good!!! The worst plagiarism ever!!! It seems as if the music director Pritam Chakraborty had absolutely no shame!!! Any kindergarten child will say that all he can do is COPY!!! A shame for any musician, that is Pritam Chakraborty for you!!!That said, the movie is actually very good... The music in every bit was stolen and that is very evident not just in songs, but between the movie as well... One major reason I am for sure that the movie as a whole is a failure is because they had a stolen array of music which by itself was successful because the originals of the music were successful...Absolute shame on you Pritam!!! You should be banned from making music for ever!!!
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...
