Nothing New....
ravisinger8611 January 2017
Agnee Directed By J. Om Prakash is A Romantic Family Drama With Backdrop Of Lost & Found Theme. Script & Screenplay Has Nothing New To Offer. Direction is Strictly Average. Dialogues & Editing is Just Fine. Action is Very Limited. Cinematography is Pleasant.

Shekawat(Anupam Kher) is Displeased With His Father As He Bequest The Whole Property In The Name Of His Sister Sonali(Anjana Mumtaz) And Her Husband, Pramod(Alok Nath). Shortly After Pramod is Accused Of Having Illicit Relationship With The Maid Servant And is Held Responsible For Killing Her Husband; Pramod Decides To Run-Away But Comes To Know how Shekawat Had Framed Him For The Property. Pramod Find"s Out That Sonali Has Given Birth To A Baby. He Then Abducts The Baby boy And Attempts To Escape, He Handover His Child To Sudha(Tanuja). Shekawat Gets Marry To A Wealthy Woman, Shobha(Mausami Chatterjee) Who Gives Birth To a Baby Boy Babla.

Years Later Pramod's Son Amit(Mithun Chakraborty) Grows Up With The Couple Sudha & Vijay(Shafi Inamdaar) To Be Doctor, Babla(Chunkey Pandey) is in Love With Amit's Foster Sister, Ayushi(Mandakini). Pramod is Still Alive And In Search Of His Family.

Acting Wise, Mithun is As Usual Better in Emotional Scenes. Anupam Kher Excels In His Negative Character. Alok Nath & Anjana Mumtaz Does Well When It Comes To Helpless & Showing Sorrow Kind Of Stuff. Chunkey Pandey & Mandakini Both Look Weak. Amrita Singh Does Nothing New. Tanuja & Shafi Inamdaar Both Are Good.

Music By Laxmikant Pyarelal is Forgettable. "Mil Gaye Dil" By Mohd. Aziz & Alka Yagnik is Best Song Of The Movie.

Lacks the fire of a typical Mithun da film.

Agnee review :

Released in peak of Mithun da mania, Agnee was neither a hard core family drama nor a typical Prabhuji actioner. Directed by veteran J Om Prakash, it didnt set the box office on fire but nevertheless, settled in average category.

A twist to the epic Krishna - Kansa story, Anupam Kher played the evil mama to Mithun who usurps his property and renders him homeless as a child. Amrita Singh played Mithun da's love interest while Chunky Pandey was paired opposite Mandakini. A sub plot had Chunky- Manda getting caught by a junglee tribe and breaking in to a sensuous jungle dance there. Sanskari babuji Alok Nath hammed it up as the ever suffering father of Mithun.

Not too bad a film for the 80s but Agnee lacked the fire of a Mithunda entertainer to fully satisfy his fan club. J Om Prakash's direction was also strictly okey dokey.

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.
