Ajay Devgan in 'Khakee' |
Call it sheer misfortune of some bad choices but its nothing more than that. No one can deny the fact that Ajay Devgan is the same actor who could do nothing wrong in 2003 with 'Qayamat' and 'Gangaajal' getting him both commercial and critical success at the box office. Even in 'LOC', that didn't fail as miserably as it has been made out to be, he was one of the three actors (with Chota B and Saif Ali Khan the other two) who stood out amongst the crowd of 30 odd "stars"!
2004 began wonderfully for Ajay as well with big budget 'Khakee' turning out to be an above average success. Yes - Big B, Akshay Kumar and even Tushar Kapoor garnered tremendous appreciation for their intensity, comedy and sincerity respectively, but if everything else in the frame ever came to an absolute halt, it was in Ajay's presence. For all the good in the movie, it was Ajay's evil that complimented it at every step. In fact even in the movie's promos, it were Ajay's shots that provided the twist in the tale. This is why it surprises when even today, at some instances; he is not credited for the movie's success. |
