Movie review: Aurangzeb, the Kapoors shine in this faded drama

New Delhi: Ratings-  **1/2Cast- Arjun Kapoor, Sashaa Agha, Rishi Kapoor, Jackie Shroff,  Amrita Singh, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Sikander KherDirector- Atul SabharwalIt has now been a decade since we witnessed a flick with a twin role formula

The pace with which it goes is slow in the first half. The director shifts its gear and speeds up the momentum after the interim. The assassination of his son-in-law by Rishi Kapoor arouses some intensity. The political game between Yasvardhan and Ravikanth to grab one of the biggest building projects in town shows some association with the plot.

But just thereafter the flick starts losing its momentum as nothing is given a fine shape to admire or even remember. The shootout at the hospital where Jackie and Arjun are shrilled with bullets will amuse you because our hero without a mark on his head stands tall to hit back to the cops there.

The entire screenplay has numerous holes in it which are hard to fill. It all goes predictable and the dialogues go wacky.

Rishi Kapoor's needless uninspiring Aurangzeb session comes out of nowhere and the emphasis given connects nothing to the title. The autocrat Mughal Emperor, had he been alive today, would surely have raised questions about the unnecessary tagging of his name and stature.

Atul tried to pay a tribute to the legendary Javed-Salim duo with his punch lines. Some dialogues sound hard-hitting and have impact, but a few go stale.
