Agent Vinod is finally out to lure your souls. The film was much-awaited besides being the most ambitious project of Saif Ali Khan who co-produces and acts in this film. Saif and Sriram Raghavan join hands together after a long hiatus post Ek Hasina Thi. Sriram directs this slick action thriller. The spy thriller ‘Agent Vinod’ is an apt BOND movie. It is a true James Bond style of movie. Although the look is fully Hollywoodish but it has its own Bollywood merits as well. Sriram has sprayed the desi tadka on the flick to allure the Indian masses.

A full-fledged Bond movie has not been made in Bollywood so far thus Saif’s effort is commendable. A 1977 movie with the same title was on the subject of secret agent, Saif’s film borrows the title from it but carries altogether a new plotline and style, etc.

The film is brilliantly made as far as the script, direction and performances are concerned. You would love to watch once you make your stay with. Set is the various parts of the globe, Agent Vinod talks about a RAW Agent named Agent Vinod (Saif Ali Khan) who carries the mission to unearth the world conspiracy. An Indian agent is killed in Moscow. Agent Vinod is sent to investigate the matter. He gets aware of the fact that a money launderer in Russia, Abu Nazar (Ram Kapoor) has transferred the amount US$ 50 million in Morocco for conducting an operation in India. He lands in Morocco where he meets with Mafiosi Kazan (Prem Chopra). He also comes across a Pakistani secret agent Dr. Ruby (Kareena Kapoor). After making rounds of the locales of the globe, he gets to know the actual conspiracy in London finally.

Direction is first rate. Story and script are well penned and carry worth. Editing is great. Cinematography is magnum opus. Music is spongy.

Saif Ali Khan delivers his career best performance. Kareena Kapoor is marvelous. Prem Chopra is appealing. Rest does well as well.

On the whole, Agent Vinod is a stylishly made action thriller, which deserves to be watched.

Rating: 3.5/5

The trio of Kevian Haghgoo, Kashayar Haghgoo and Hamid Farouzmand had formed this band way back in 2003. The band has alleged that the initial portion of the number of Pyar Ki Pungi (from Agent Vinod) has been copied from the band’s number ‘Soosan Khanoom’. The band maintained in the legal notice that the track was registered in Canada under the copyright act on June 30^th 2011. Thus legally no one can use any portion or the entire song without the prior permission of the band. As per the notice, the band got to know about the copied material on March 12^th when they watched the number and the promotional activities on satellite channels. After seeing this, the band sent their representative to Mumbai so that the matter could be investigated.
