Talking about movies always makes me feel excited! Every time I watch a movie or even strike a conversation about the latest flick with a friend, I find myself engrossed in the excitement.

I remember the time (about three months, I guess) before Ram Gopal Varma’s Aag was released into theaters, I was all the more excited about Amitabh Bachchan playing the character of “Gabbar” which had been made an iconic bad guy by the late Amjad Khan. By the team the crescendo of hype was reached amongst all the controversies involving everything from the plot device to the title of the movie to the names characters in the movie, I stayed faithful to the remake’s cause just because of Mr. Amitabh. He was the biggest star and had taken up a huge challenge. But when the time of release came and judging from the promos, I found the end product looked nothing like the original or even what it had set out to do. Everything about the movie had changed, not to mention the character names! This resulted in Aag becoming the biggest dud of that year! How I regretted the fact that this movie got made and actually made it to the theaters.
