Aagey Se Right (2009) *MQ*
Till a few years ago, if a director or writer would tell you that the object of attention in his story is a pistol and how the entire film would revolve around it, you’d laugh, even scoff at, on his face.Is he out of his mind?But times have changed.Wacky concepts are the order of the day. Last week, QUICK GUN MURUGUN depicted one.This Friday, it’s AAGEY SE RIGHT.AAGEY SE RIGHT is witty and humorous in parts, but at the same time, the story is so fragile that it runs out of breath when stretched for 2 long hours.
Cast: Key Key Menon,Shreyas Talpade
Sub Inspector Dinkar Waghmare (Shreyas Talpade) is a very unlikely cop. He has neither the swagger nor the confidence essential for the men in khaki.No wonder he loses his service revolver to a bunch of bullying teens.Determined to save his honour, he goes on a citywide hunt for his gun which takes him to the most secret dens of underworld and terror networks.There’s a parallel track of a terrorist Janubhai (Kay Kay Menon) who comes to Mumbai to unleash terror on the city, but ends up losing his heart to a bar girl Pearl (Shenaz Treasurywala) at first sight.
The terrorist relinquishes his mission and becomes a love-struck Romeo learning the vernacular one-liners from his trusted aid Raghav (Vijay Maurya) to woo the bar girl.There’s also a TV correspondent (Mahi Gill) who lands up at every scene of crime even before cops does.As the paths of these characters cross through the course of the story, Dinkar Waghmare, the harried cop, emerges as a hero by default.
The clichéd climax is set on a stage show under threat of a secret terror attack, where one hero gets to diffuse bombs by snipping off red-green wires, another guns down the villain and the heroine gets scope for another dance number. Alas there’s no scope for entertainment!
