Review Writer: Ajay Bharat
Rating: ***
Director Sriram Raghavan's 'Agent Vinod' is suspense and action thriller movie. Sriram Raghavan had directed some earlier good suspense thriller already like 2004 Bollywood movie 'Ek Hasina Thi' and 2007 bollywood movie 'Johnny Gaddaar'. This film is borrowed its name from 1977 Bollywood movie of the same name, it is also said to be adapted from that hit film.
A suitcase of nuclear bomb, which possibly can initiate nuclear war, is get into the hand of underworld. Agent Vinod is a RAW secret agent. Vinod's boss show him last video message of his colleague secret agent Major Rajan, who was behind a Rusian mafia leader. Rajan before his murder tell them that he listened about a meeting going to happen somewhere which will badly affect India and he listen them to repeating number '242'. Agent Vinod is appointed to find out about them, and stop the possible attack on India.
Then what happen tells the movie...
What is number '242' and how it could affect India...? Will agent Vinod be able to stop attack on India...? Who is behind the attack...?
It is about stylish Indian spy, who look like desi avatar of Hollywood fictional spy James Bond 007. Film is a nice background story with good developed plan of antagonists. Saif Ali Khan as agent Vinod trying to be stylish with attitude but his dialogues look like somewhat cheesy and clinch, he seems to not to fit in the role, but overall he done the decent job. Agent Vinod travels to numerous world locations like Afghanistan, Morocco, Pakistan, Moscow, Turkey, Latvija. Kareena Kapoor is playing Pakistani undercover secret agent. One thing which irritates most in film is its action scenes where camera is shaking to the level of irritation to show the messy situation in story.
Good points of film are its good story, screenplay, average direction, and performances, while bad points of film are its irritating shaking camera action scenes, cheesy dialogues.
It will be liked by people who love to see Indian spy film in desi andaaz.
Reviewer Verdict: It is a one time watch movie.
