Till
a
few
years
ago,
if
a
director
or
writer
would
tell
you
that
the
object
of
attention
in
his
story
is
a
pistol
and
how
the
entire
film
would
revolve
around
it,
you'd
laugh,
even
scoff
at,
on
his
face.
Is
he
out
of
his
mind?
But
times
have
changed.
Wacky
concepts
are
the
order
of
the
day.
Last
week,
Quick
Gun
Murugun
depicted
one.
This
Friday,
it's
Aagey
Se
Right.
Aagey
Se
Right
is
witty
and
humorous
in
parts,
but
at
the
same
time,
the
story
is
so
fragile
that
it
runs
out
of
breath
when
stretched
for
2
long
hours.
Had
debutante
director
Indrajit
Nattoji
concentrated
on
just
two
characters
-
the
cop
who
loses
his
gun
and
the
terrorist
who
loses
his
heart
-
instead
of
focussing
on
the
assorted
characters,
this
one
would've
been
one
helluva
ride.
Final
word?
Aagey
Se
Right
doesn't
get
it
right.
Aagey
Se
Right
tells
the
story
of
a
cop
[Shreyas
Talpade]
and
terrorist
[Kay
Kay
Menon].
Through
a
series
of
events
not
in
their
control,
the
cop
loses
his
gun
and
the
terrorist
loses
his
heart.
Their
two
worlds
collide…
To
start
with,
the
screenplay
doesn't
do
justice
to
the
wild
and
imaginative
story.
In
fact,
the
writing
has
loopholes
aplenty.
To
cite
an
instance,
Vjay
Maurya
is
supposed
to
be
the
front
man
of
the
terrorists
in
Mumbai,
but
when
Kay
Kay
has
a
change
of
heart,
so
does
he.
Strange,
isn't
it?
Ditto
for
Shehnaz
Treasurywala,
who
dances
in
a
sleazy
bar,
is
later
visiting
studios
for
film
assignments
and
much
later,
also
dances
at
the
police
function
[in
the
finale].
Even
Kay
Kay's
part
suffers
due
to
poor
writing.
His
change
of
heart
looks
weird.
Barring
Shreyas,
Mahi
Gill
[television
reporter]
and
Bharti
Achrekar
[Shreyas'
mom],
the
characters
are
not
well
defined.
Director
Indrajit
Nattoji
has
a
wacky
sense
of
humour
and
it
shows
in
the
film,
but
he's
been
unsuccessful
as
far
as
the
writing
is
concerned.
The
songs
don't
serve
any
purpose
either.
Shreyas
Talpade
does
a
commendable
job.
In
fact,
his
comic
timing
is
impeccable.
Kay
Kay
Menon
is
wasted.
Vijay
Maurya
delivers
a
superior
performance.
Mahi
Gill
is
perfect.
Shehnaz
Treasurywala
can't
act.
Shiv
Pandit
irritates.
Ditto
for
Shruti
Seth.
Rakesh
Bedi
is
funny
in
a
small
role.
Bharti
Achrekar
is
excellent.
On
the
whole,
Aagey
Se
Right
has
a
few
funny
moments,
but
overall,
this
one
doesn't
go
left
or
right,
but
directionless.
