Amitabh Bachchan has done many films in his career. His name was the last few years of the 70’s. At that time, he became the action hero of the industry. And in the 80’s, he did a variety of experiments with his characters. His brightness had diminished slightly in the 90’s. At the same time, in 1990, a film of his film Agnipath came. This film is considered a cult classic today, but failed at the box office during the release. It was produced by Karan Johar’s father Yash Johar. The director was Mukul S Anand. These are the 5 major reasons for this film to flop.
Amitabh Bachchan’s voice
The film was released on February 16, 1990, at the Agnipath Theatre. The film also starred Amitabh Bachchan and Mithun Chakraborty in pivotal roles. Amitabh Bachchan has a lot of good dialogues in the film. Like ‘Mera Naam Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, Father’s Name Dinanath Chauhan’. This dialogue was spoken by the actor in a special tone which is copied in today’s era. At that time, this voice was described as a copy of American actor Alfredo James Pacino. Amitabh’s change with his voice seemed to be a mockery and fake. However, the film critics appreciated his work.
Serious films and stories have been loved on the big screen. But the story and concept of Agnipath was not going to give confidence. This story of the underworld and revenge failed to make an impression. Later, the audience liked the same story, but by then it was too late.
Agnipath
The film was far ahead of its time. Karan Johar himself admitted that his father’s production film Agnipath was far ahead of that time. The dark tone of the film did not fit with the audience of that satt.The producer had spent a huge amount of money on it to make Agnipath a grand. According to the report, in that era, this film was made within 4 to 8 crores and the gross collection was said to be around 10 crores.
No merit in the music of the film
The strongest link of Hindi films has always been music. But except for a few songs of Agnipath, the music did not make such an impression. The film is still remembered for its dialogues and performances of actors even after years, not music.
