Agyaat – An Insult to the Audience

Recently I watched the movie Agyaat, and it was a huge disappointment to say the least. There is no thrill or suspense in the movie & the horror is not even comic. In fact, the movie evoked no emotions from me, not even disgust. The directors of Predator & The Blair Witch Project would commit suicide after watching this.

I think Ram Gopal Verma has gone mad. I could not understand how someone who has made movies like Satya, Sarkar, Company & Shiva can sink to such low depths. I pondered over the dichotomy for a while and then realized that, in those iconic movies, RGV’s contribution was probably comparatively less than that of the screenplay, the dialogues & the brilliant actors. Agyaat, being devoid of such brilliance, has brought out the true caliber of RGV, the glimpses of which we got in Aag.

A few days back I read in the Delhi Times that he does not make movies for the audience but for himself. Firstly, why would you want to do that as a director? Aren’t you in the “entertainment” industry? Isn’t it your duty to entertain people, or at least a small section of it if you don’t want to make mass flicks? Secondly, if he made Agyaat to satisfy his creativity, why did he copy from famous Hollywood movies? Doesn’t his “creativity” allow him to make something original?

I think someone needs to send RGV to an Agyaatvaas for this insult to the audience who paid their hard-earned money to watch the film!
