Agent Vinod Bollywood Movie Music Review and Movie Synopsis
Movie Synopsis:
Agent Vinod a action thriller film directed by Sriram Raghavan. The movie stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in leading roles.
The story begins with a series of seemingly unconnected events, all over the globe. In Uzbekistan, an Ex-KCG officer is tortured murdered. In Cape Town, a group of international business tycoons discuss a rumor that the dead KCB officer had a nuclear suitcase Bomb hidden away. In Moscow, an Indian secret agent is exposed. The agent is shot dead while trying to send a code red message to India. In India, the head of RAW sees the incomplete message. All it contains is a number 242.Enter AGENT VINOD. Vinod (Saif Ali Khan) is the kind of agent who first kicks the door open and then finds out what's behind it. His unconventional approach puts him in dangerous situations, but he manages to get the crucial leads.
Vinod is sent to Moscow to investigate why his colleague killed. Vinod finds out that a Russian money launderer Abu Nazar has sent 58 Million Dollars to a contact in Morocco, for an operation against India. Vinod leaves for Morocco, where he meets an elderly Mafidsi Kazan and the beautiful but mysterious or ruby. A series of twists and turns take Vinod across the globe from marakkesh to Riga, Karachi to Delhi and finally London. Where he discovers the ultimate conspiracy. Agent Vinod, you may not agree with his methods, but you sure are glade he's on our side. Agent Vinod your passport to action adventure.
So, Agent Vinod is a good looking action-film, better than many recent ones but for being a thriller that engrosses you and wins you over - Agent Vinod remains raw and sketchy. A film that's good and bad at the same time!
Music Review:
The music of Agent Vinod film has been composed by Pritam.
Tongue-in-cheek, the first song on the soundtrack, I'll do the talking tonight, when from the promos you have assembled a string of pseudo names the hero assumes - Kapil Dev, Freddy Khambatta, Mahender Sandhu - never his real name, Agent Vinod.
Likewise, this Agent Vinod song can perplex - is the original of I'll do the talking tonight, by Boney M, called Rasputin indefinitely better or this spin-off tribute a tad pleasing. Pritam will not murder a classic; he's what we call a master-plagiarizer, which is fair to say that his version sticks.
The terrible synchronicity of Dil Mera Muft Ka we have been privy to on our tellytube where an inappropriately costumed Kareena Kapoor is seen performing a techno-mujra with another ill-dressed chorine has to be overlooked if one is to listen to the song on its own merit. Nandini Shrikar straddles her playback with the energy of a live performance, ornamenting it with a stage artist's improviso gifts of harkat and taan. Malini Avasthi who does one version of this number, is a beauty of voice - her tonal quality is €thaet desi.'
Raabta (meaning contact) has four versions covered by Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, Joi and Aditi Singh Sharma. It's a bit twee, like looking for a four-leaf clover in a field of wild flowers. Lie back and absorb.
Mika bajaos his Pungi in the song. Lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya rises to the occasion with wicked lines about €booch maarna' and €pungi bajana.' Takes you back to that era of nonsense nineties bawdy numbers where a hammy villain abounds in an €item's' entry into his noxious lair. It's so silly, it's epic fun. However, the song owes to Bhagwan Dada in Albela (Shaam dhale khidki taley tum seeti bajana chhod do) rejigged for today's street cred.
The instrumental theme score seduces as most others in this genre do. After the recent mishap of his Players soundtrack, this should meet with better fate. Pritam needs a hit - as sorely as it hurts to see what a joke Dil Mera Muft Ka becomes in the hands of an inept song picturisation team.
