Ajay Devgan as Heero is good. Debutant, Prashant Raj as Raj is average performance wise, but doesn't have the charm to essay the role enacted in the original by Bachchan. Nisha Kothari's dialogue delivery raises quite a few laughs from the audience, only it is for her atrocious diction. Sushmita Sen as Durga gives a restrained performance. Mohanlal as Narasimha is excellent. The other supporting cast of Sushant Singh, Ravi Kale, Virendra Saxena, Rasika Joshi and Rajpal Yadav, all perform with aplomb.
The cinematography by Amit Roy is excellent. The songs composed by various music directors are as memorable as the songs of 'Naach'! Dialogues by Sajid – Farhad are very good. Action by Pradyumna is run of the mill.
By saying that, he is trying to make a seventies kind of film, on which he grew up, Ramu is probably trying to pull off a Quentin Tarantino/ Roberto Rodriguez on us. But forget Tarantino and Rodriguez, it would more than suffice, if he became the Ram Gopal Varma we knew....the one who made 'Shiva' and 'Satya'!
Is 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag', se door bhaag!
