6/10
A twisted thriller, not particularly convincing but still watchable
23 August 2010
Well my summary says it all. Aggar is quite enjoyable despite its flaws (and there are quite a few). It's a thriller which has its moments of suspense and high drama, but it is generally quite poorly written and directed, lacking depth and credibility. Something is missing there - it could be with the general story, which is not very genuine, it could be with the poor dialogues which were hardly believable, and maybe it's the direction which is weak and created a feel of unbalance. Anant Mahadevan is the one who directed some dreadful movies like Aksar so my expectations were very low and I was even prepared to hate the movie. But there's one reason why I actually think it is slightly better than his other movies: I actually managed to go through the entire thing right until the end, something I did not think I'd be able to do. So maybe there was something about it that did work after all. Where acting goes, no one shines but no one hams it up either. Tusshar Kapoor does pretty well in some portions like in the scenes in which he romances Jhanvi, but overall this role was too complex for him and he did falter from time to time, although he tried to do his best. Shreya Talpade was okay. Udita Goswami looks awfully attractive and too hot to resist, so for me she was the bright spot of this film. Her acting may not be particularly impressive, but she has a good screen presence. All said and done, Aggar is not to be taken seriously. As a thriller it's not completely there, though as said, it has its moments. It is overall an okay film which can be watched with friends, but remember not to expect too much.
