Agneepath (2012)

Yes! This is how Bollywood should be - action, excitement, romance, an attractive sound track, in short: just entertainment.
The story is about Vijay. As a boy he had to witness how Kancha, the local criminal boss, had his father hanged. Now he only lives for revenge. In Mumbai he becomes an associate of Rauf Lala, who is a competing criminal. Vijay soon becomes the successor of his business empire and is ready for his final revenge. - The memory of his father gives him a strength and a power he didn't know that  he had it.
There are some nice subplots which add to the emotional appeal, the relation to Vijay's mother who doesn't approve of his revenge plans and also the relation to his sister who was born after Vijay's father was lynched. But there is also Gaitonde from the local police who knows that Vijay is basically good and who becomes a bit  a father substitute. And there was a lot of very good and subtle acting, especially from Hrithik Roshan. Sanjay Dutt enjoys being the evil Kancha,
I give it 8/10.
Agneepath -- the path of fire
