Saif Ali Khan in Agent VinodMore Pics
Director: Sriram Raghavan
Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor
He tries to be a Bond-cum-Bourne kind of a secret agent. More than an intelligence officer, he comes across as an action hero - a Singham over a spy. More than clothes, he changes countries. He can open any door, barge any security, escape every attack and kill any person. He has instant access to database of spies and terrorists across the globe at his fingertips. He is the man - Agent Vinod.
All of that is acceptable as long as the intended espionage thriller has an inventive storyline. But after a world tour across half a dozen countries, the film culminates with a traditional climax where the Indian capital faces a nuclear-threat. The time bomb has to be detected, decoded and deactivated. The only novelty in the narrative is that our neighbouring country is not the perpetrator. It's not the terrorists but some elite business community who spread terror around the world so that they can gain out of the sudden stock market fluctuations across the world. Ludicrous as it may sound, this is the film - Agent Vinod.
