There is extraordinary craze for Agneepath. The promos of the film have been liked and the Chikni chameli song, picturised on Katrina Kaif, has only added to the hype. The formidable star cast of Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra, as well as the fact that it is a remake of a cult film, will ensure that Agneepath gets a bumper opening.
Moreover, the month of January that saw very few big releases so far, the Republic Day release of Agneepath and its 4-day weekend also mean that Karan Johar’s Agneepath is likely to break opening records at the box-office.
Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt and Rishi Kapoor.
In a small Indian village Mandwa, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan (Hrithik Roshan) is taught about the path of fire (Agneepath) by his principled father. His life is shattered completeley when the evil drug lord Kancha Cheena (Sanjay Dutt) hangs his father to death, Vijay leaves for Mumbai with his pregnant mother, and takes an oath that he will return back to Mandwa and bring back the glory of his fathers name and take revenge against Kancha Cheena.
In Mumbai, Vijay is taken under the wings of the city’s drug lord Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor). From here on it is a journey of revenge where he makes and breaks many relationships only to get closer to his aim. Vijay finds support in his only friend Kaali (Priyanka Chopra), who stands by him at every moment of his life. Fifteen years later, his hatred for Kancha takes him back to Mandwa where life comes full circle.
