AGNEEPATH Director: Karan Malhotra Starring: Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and others Rating: * * * Somewhere in the promotional blitz, Agneepath (1990) has taken on the status of a cult classic. Whatever emotional reasons Karan Johar may have had to remake this Mukul Anand film, produced by his father Yash Johar, it wasn’t at all great, or even an original film.
