Vijaypath

i saw it back in 1994 when it was released, i was barely in any state to conclude anything(i was ..what 10 then) but i was a huge fan of action flicks and ajay devgun was my personal favourite(my brother made me like him). anyways... i have given it 10 out of 10 as it used to be my favourite movie(kids are so mindless,aren't they?!) and i love everything about this movie. ajay was terrific,tabu looked most beautiful and everything was just near perfect. i haven't seen the movie again(i never got a chance) but i would love to see it again sometime. Things has really changed over the years,ajay now actually being recognised for what he really is- one of the finest actor in this generation. But at the very time i get a feeling that this man is doing great work he comes up with some total crap like blackmail or main aisa hi hoon.. ajay, please don't do this!

Box office success doesn't necessarily assure a good film, and "Vijaypath" is no exception to it. It's a simple revenge movie full of improbabilities and stupidity. Perhaps the success of "Phool Aur Kaante" compelled the film maker to churn the action image of Ajay Devgan.

The plot is much contrived and the sequences created are simply amateurish. In between there are some well choreographed songs, which does a little to geld the story and mostly not situational. Perhaps it's what 90s mass craved for, a lot of action though there is less to offer in the plot. Overall, the film looks technically well, otherwise it's a forgettable film in terms of story.

Rating: 1 star out of 4.

Vijaypath review :

Released on same day as the all time biggest blockbuster Hum Aapke Hain Koun (HAHK) in 1994, Vijaypath was typical actioner spearheaded by Ajay Devgn who was only known as an action hero that time. Surprisingly, it took a bigger opening than HAHK (which had a limited release in first few weeks) and became a sleeper hit of that year.

A fresh Tabu was paired opposite Ajay and they looked good together on screen. Anu Maliks songs Ruk Ruk Ruk became quite popular.

The action sequences were the films highlight and Ajay was simply rocking pulling off those tough stunts designed by dad Veeru Devgan. Danny played a formidable villain and his performance was fantastic. Gulshan Grover hammed it up as his bumbling nephew.

I had seen the film on VHS during its release and liked it for its action. It airs occasionally on satellite tv also. Do watch it if you havent.

This movie is a typical 90s flick with revolving doors, songs in random places, mad stunts, a motorbike, rich villain and a revengeful hero

One scene has Ajay Devgan doing a mad stunt on his motorbike like PHOOL AUR KAANTE (1991) which he had two bikes but in this he has 1 The next scene has Suresh Oberoi converting his crutch to a gun LOL

The film has some engaging scenes between Danny and Ajay The film keeps you hooked during the scenes

Ajay Devgan normally plays the person who was guilty of something he never did and takes revenge However in this he takes revenge for his master He looses his eyesight but when his friend donates his eyes to him, he wears dark sunglasses and vows never to take his glasses off until he confronts Dilawar

Ajay plays his role to perfection Tabu doesn't support much but is good Danny plays a good villain Suresh is usual Gulshan Grover is funny

Ajay Devgan after PHOOL AUR KAANTE(1991) his debut kept doing action hero roles Most of his films had him playing a guy who was wronged and who seeks revenge

This is another one with a slight difference being Ajay seeks revenge of his master Half the film you have Ajay wearing glasses to hide his eyes which are of his deceased master's son Even during the songs Ajay has the glasses on He also does a stunt on 1 bike like he did in PAK but here only on 1 bike Suresh Oberoi his father prepares a gun from his crutches LOL

The film is typical 90's style but it's well handled in parts The clashes between Danny and Ajay are well handled and there are several engaging scenes There are also forced comedy scenes and songs

Direction is okay Music is decent

Ajay does his trademark angry young man role and does a good job Tabu in one of her first films does an okay job as the heroine Amongst rest Danny is typical, Gulshan is funny Suresh Oberoi is okay
