home alone today and I thought I’d work on a tribute to one of my other favorite movies! Agneepath holds a very special place in my heart. I’ve only seen it all the way through twice, but it’s frequently playing in the background during dinner and laundry folding and card games at my cousins’ house. My Dadi likes to shout “BITA AMITABH IS ON” cause she knows I’ll come running XD

fun fact btw he is. in fact. on tumblr. and has been since 2008. which for my non-desi people is like… elvis and al pacino rolled into one, posting daily on this website for sixteen years. does he check his tag? I have no idea.

Even though he seems to try hard to maintain a boundary, Vijay sees his Baba in Gaitonde. This is not a headcanon, he literally says that Gaitonde reminds him of his father. And Gaitonde willingly would have made him his son.

His mother didn't keep her son. His mother failed him before he had even picked up that gun. She loved her son, but not enough to put his trauma above hers. Instead of communicating, she shut down on him, she didn't see his anger, she didn't see the massive wound where it was coming from. She wanted to ignore what had happened in hopes of lessening her pain. But Vijay's pain was not one he could have silenced. He was just a little boy burying the torn body of his father. His rage was his pain, he had been wronged, his Baba had been wronged, his mother not even talking about it was a disservice to his father, it was wrong to him. They had been wronged and Vijay wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted to mourn. But he had no one to cry with, to understand him. He dies trying to get her to acknowledge the injustice they had faced.

But Gaitonde? Throughout the movie he kept reaching out to Vijay. He kept reachiing out to the boy who had doomed himself to a painful life, who had gotten blood on his hands before his voice had even cracked. Because he knew it wasn't without reason. Vijay had not fallen, he had jumped. And throughout the movie he kept wanting to know why, kept wanting to understand him, kept wanting to stop him from the spiral of self destruction. Gaitonde had seen the pained little boy in him, and he had tried saving that boy. Their conversation as he tries to dissuade Vijay from the suicidal mission, gives Vijay some semblance of desire for life. Gaitonde indirectly is the reason he dares to marry Kali and plan a future. His mother is the reason he loses her and subsequently any will to live.

Interesting to note that Vijay, in any scene with anyone, makes a point of being in control in the room. When he is with his mother, he is fighting to prove his point, he doesn't back down. He is Shiksha's older brother, her protector. He is Kali's partner, he doesn't try to control her but she understands him better than anyone else, she lets his wishes come first. He is Rauf Lala's right hand man, but there is always a subtle power when he is with Lala, whether he showcases it by taking the shoes of the king of mumbai, or he commands his druggie son to hold his tongue. But here? Here he knocks, asks for permission, and keeps his head down unlike his interaction with Lala or anyone. Gaitonde is the only one with the priviledge of seeing him like this. He is the only one who meets the glimpses of the pain behind his rage. He is the only one Vijay defers to. Every single time they interact, for a moment atleast, Vijay seems to see a flutter of hope before it is gone.

I haven't seen this movie but videos like this are exactly what makes me want to see something.

There's the bad guy. You know he's the bad guy because he makes bad guy eyeballs and smile as soon as the main character isn't looking.

There's the hero. He feels nothing. He expresses nothing. He is nothing. He's just a blank slate, Bella Swan of action heroes. Except manly.

Bollywood has seen its fair share of talented actors who have graced the silver screen with their charisma and acting prowess. Among them, one name stands out as a true embodiment of versatility and sheer brilliance – Hrithik Roshan. With his chiseled physique, captivating dance moves, and exceptional acting skills, Hrithik has established himself as one of the most beloved and influential actors…
