What the Hell Ram Gopal Varma is thinking about the Viewers? I did watch the movie, i am upset at the end just because every viewer expects the story to uncover/disclose during the climax scenes.This GREAT Indian Director is suggesting us to watch the next sequel to find the actual story of the Movie. This is making the viewers as fools. This isn't fare in any regard.One more thing to say .. I hope he copied many a scenes from the Telugu movie "Anumanaspadham". If in the next sequel he depicts "SETU" as the one who do all this MURDER - STUFF, then i will give it (Agyaat 2) a 2/10 (somehow i am giving 4/10 to Agyaat 1).Surely, I am not waiting for the sequel. (i am confident, he will ruin the viewers feelings)

My rating here reads 10/10... this is no way that great a movie, the only reason being an attempt to have the flick's overall rating up somewhat. Now com'n guys, this doesn't deserve 3 point something like numerous other RGV movies in the recent past. this is a sheer celebration of the whole process of outstanding movie making.. this is no way scary or for that matter anything entertaining, but phenomenal camera works coupled with good background score was enough to make me soak in the love of it.. people don't go for a movie to appreciate simply these very intricate aspects of movie making, agreed,.. and hence respect the usual ballyhoo surrounding Agyaat (N.B: no way here m i trying to allude to our highly film-educated CRITICS' reception, in fact they don't even deserve an allusion in movie discussions. God please make me understand this: "a one & half star out of 10 for a cult called No Smoking!) Nevertheless Agyaat is a very sincere effort on RGV's part with some renewal of sense yet still holding on to his 'i don't give a sh*t to what u say' infused cinematic attitude.. not sure, but maybe a better finish without really an urge for a sequel would 've been perfect..

The movie starts out with a promise even though there weren't any major stars. But once the similarity between this movie and the 80's classic "Predator" dawned on us, it lost most of it appeal. Even one of the lines "What the hell are you" said by Arnold Schwarznegger was also coined by one of the characters. In "Predator" the characters were battle hardened mercenaries while here you have a film unit. RGV has an eccentric sense of film-making but we went to see it nonetheless because at least it was his original idea. But "Agyaat" is just a poor man's "Predator". Whenever he's tried to copy movies he has failed miserably take "RGV ki Sholay" for instance. Either he is running out of ideas or the confidence to have any ideas. Either way its a sorry state of affair.

Irrespective of the fact that his last few films haven't really been great experiences, one still enters a Ram Gopal Varma movie with certain expectations in mind.But Ramu nowadays it seems is hell bent on scaring even his most loyal fans away. Agyaat turns out to be one such experience wherein you go in expecting a thrill ride but come out absolutely unmoved rather irritated.Agyaat tells the story of a film crew arriving in a dense forest to shoot their film. The team comprises of a tantrum throwing hero Sharman (Gautam), the heroine he badly lusts for – Aasha (Kothari), a South Indian producer Moorty (Ishrat Ali), an eccentric director JJ (Howard), a submissive spot boy Laxman (Ishtiyak Khan), the philosophical cameraman Shakky (Kali Prasad), a forever frustrated action director Rakka (Kale), Assistant Director Sujal (Nitin) and the simple script supervisor girl Sameera (Rasika Duggal) who has a secret crush on Sujal.While Sameera pines for Sujal, he dreams of attaining the film's leading lady Aasha. Circumstances lead to a two day shoot break. Setu (Joy) the local jungle guide then suggests a small camping trip in the jungle. During night when everyone is enjoying the bonfire, following a strange sound Setu goes on to find out more about it but doesn't return. When the crew members go on to find him they find his dead body. Petrified, they all try to run out the jungle but their car meets with an accident.Now trapped in the unknown terrain as they try to find their way out more crew members start dying under mysterious circumstances. With hardly any known faces amongst his cast members, Ramu manages to hold your attention to some extent by his gimmicky shot taking and effective use of background music.Agreed in a thriller with a short running time of under two hours there is less time for character development but what about the screenplay Sir? Also, the placing of the annoying item song in the opening credit titles serves no purpose. Most of the actors too are a huge let down in the sense that they simply end up grating on your nerves and in fact you feel relieved that they have been bumped off.Agyaat through its promos and Ramu's interviews appeared to be his ode to films like Predator, Blair Witch Project etc but in reality it appears an insult to them.At the end by literally keeping the mysterious killer "Agyaat' (unknown) he seems to have already made a preparation for a sequel.Telugu star Nitin Reddy making his Bollywood debut is earnest. Priyanka Kothari shows a bit of improvement in her acting. Gautam Rode fits the part. Amongst the rest cast, none really impress.Agyaat is a disappointment. Enter this jungle at your own risk. Then don't complain we didn't warn you.
