Aatish: Feel the Fire

This movie is all about Baba and his friend, his brother and his love interest. Though Baba sacrifices everything for his brother in the end, its his friendship with Nawab that catches your eye in this movie.

Baba (Sanjay Dutt) and Nawab (Aditya Panscholi) are the best hit men in town. They live for each other and would die for each other. Nawab doesn't have a family, but Baba has his younger brother (Atul Agnihotri). Baba is trying hard to keep his brother from the crime business and is grooming him to become a cop.

On an ill fated day Nawab decides to go for the 'namaz' when they are supposed to make a deal with Shaki Kapoor. Shakti tricks Baba as well as corners Nawab too. Baba serves a couple of years in prison while Nawab has his legs chopped off and left to beg for existence.

Meanwhile Avi finishes his training and is on trail for these gangsters. Half successful attempts are made to show the conflict Avi faces between his duty as a cop and his loyalty to his brother.

The best scene is when Baba has been released. Nawab, on a dark rainy night, has limped under a bridge and is about to take a bite of the dirty and wet piece of bread that is his dinner when he hears the words 'Kya Nawab, akele akele' ie 'Hey Nawab, having it alone ... huh!'. Even before raising his head to look who it is, his eyes are already in tears. He knows his friends Baba is back, his pillar of strength Baba is back and things will not be the same again. I will never forget Aditya Panscholi in this scene.

Nawab, proves his loyalty to his friend when in the climax he takes a bullet to protect Avi and dies. Even Baba in the end surrenders to law to protect the credentials of his cop brother.

Excellent movie. Emotionally charged. If you are the one who would go to any lengths for friendship or love, you know what I mean.

Now, this out-and-out actioner from Remix-Director, Sanjay Gupta, is not a bad piece if only you haven't any Hollywood or Hong Kong films at all. Reason being that Gupta rips of nearly every Hollywood action film that he can. Everything from Lethal Weapon 3, A Better Tommorrow, The Killer, Hard Target, Cyborg, Black Rain, 1492, T2, Scarface, etc, etc... has a scene or two remixed into this film. Even though this film has hardly any originality in it, one thing's for sure: This is one of Bollywood's finest action films ever...

Aatish is a action packed movie that was fun to watch and is amazing. It is a copy of John Woo's Better Tomorrow, but Sanjay Gupta always copy's oriental movies. He copied Zinda from classic korean film oldboy and Kaante from City on Fire. That was acceptable because Quentin Tarantino did the same for his debut film. Anyway Aatish has action and lots of it, with some romance and family drama added in. Sanjay Dutt suits that kind of role and does a good job as usual. Aditya Pancholi is outstanding as the best friend. Atul is not that great, they could of got someone else to play the younger brother with the grudge. Raveena Tandon is damn sexy and id like to spend the night with her. Karishma Kapoor is damn annoying in every film add this one too. Both actresses had a famous cat fight while filming the song in this film. I support Raveena any day, as Karishma is a known annoying brat that needs a slap or too.

Simply one of the best Indian Action Flick i've ever seen. It has everything a story needs to catch the viewer once and twice and trice and so on until you actually wear out the Video Tape and DVD .. like i did. I've literally seen this Sanju baba Film approximately over 100 (hundred) times in Video and DVD. Actions, Mobsters, Revenge, Love, Friendship, Brotherhood, Drama.. everything a perfect Action Film. You can see the talent of Sanjay Gupta and the influences of Japanese movies, like A Better Tomorrow and others, had on this director before he shot Aatish. Sanjay Dutt was Dashing in the Role of Baba. Music was fast and catchly. Honest to God i knew every line said in this movie! Simply Great!

Movie is Awesome .The pairing Of Sanjay And Aditya Pancholi is Mindblowing.Probably One of the Best Action flicks Of The 90s. Songs were Okay. Role of Atul Agnihotri is Average.Roles of Raveena and Karishma are Wasted overall A Very Awesome Movie By Sanjay Gupta .Never Gets Boring
