For all the talk of the new one being better/different from the original one, this one was very disappointing. Basically despite the honest effort that Hrithik tries to put in, he just could not match the angst and presence that big B had, even in his twilight years. That kind of summarizes it all. Lethargic direction, reasonably cinematography, passable acting, clichés thrown all over it. In the original one there was a build up to the climax with Vijay and Kancha but in this one the anticipation and angst never really got there. And without angst, there is really no Agneepath, notwithstanding the compulsory poetry rendition in the finale.
