Agneepath is thunderously staged (quite literally; the background score is a force of nature) and it’s never boring, but the film never amounts to anything

The Hindu

It is in the end, an old-fashioned revenge drama treated in that melodramatic, over-the-top style. You're not likely to be bored by the intense action and the solid performances, but prepare to be exhausted by just how long this film plays on.

The external logic of a star driven, fantasy fed film such as this may not be easy to gulp for many. The internal logic, or the reason you believe it all, depends a lot on the credibility of the headlining performance. Bachchan's irreplaceable, of course. So is Hrithik, India's hardest working, most intense super-star, ever.

Agneepath, less of a remake, more of a tribute. The makers of Agneepath should have just called it Dharmapath

Agneepath is cinema of excess

They've stuck to the old formula, larger than life characters, melodramatic deaths, the whole shebang. And it even runs for 3 hours. This time around Johar Jr's production is almost certainly going to be a hit. Question is, will it be memorable?

Everything about this Agneepath is over-emphasized. And at a running time of 3 hours, it is a test of your patience.

Mint

Watch this film because this one is unadulterated Bollywood entertainment.

An adaptation rather than a remake, the film assumes a life of its own once the central plot has been established... the film then charts a journey of his own.

DNA

Despite the original being his home production, Karan Johar attempts playing with fire (treading uncharted territory) with Agneepath and emerges victorious. Agneepath has the fire for a lustrous entertainer!

Times of India

Karan Malhotra’s rich reimagining is a true homage, one that keeps alive the spirit of the old but doesn’t flinch from creating a fresh world for that spirit to inhabit.

Firstpost

The film is a metaphor for the world we live in and Mandwa, the benighted Mandwa, which sold its soul for the money it expected to come from cocaine, is what India is today... A nation which watches helplessly as its soul is stolen.

Much against some flaws, Agneepath deserves to be lauded for performances and should be encouraged for a very convincing remake to a cult classic.

Agneepath is an uncomplicated story of revenge, is hard-hitting yet entertaining, dwells on strong emotions and aggressive and forceful action, yet is dissimilar from the original.
