Avinash’s good friend and lawyer, Rohit (Milind Soman) steps in to defend Avinash in court, but doesn’t manage to get him off. Avinash then decides to hunt down Sanjana’s killer, and escapes from jail, only to face 3 bullets from his adversary. Avinash’s questionable survival (oh, yeah, survival of hindi film hero from numerous bullets – that one’s up in the air), and his quest for justice are what make up the rest of this pathetic movie.
OK, so why pathetic ? Firstly, guessable plot, there have been a spate of who-done-my-spouse-in murder mysteries lately. Secondly, lost reality, Vikram Bhatt, takes the viewer on another mindless, predictable hindi movie ride, where not much makes sense, and the laws of medicene (try and survive 3 bullets) and physics are flouted endlessly. Thirdly, actors who can’t act, namely Deol, Dutta, Soman, and Gul Panag. Fourthly, atrocious screenplay.
Music isn’t too bad, but for that you just need a CD, and can spare yourself visual trouble. So, unless you really have nothing better to do (and a dental appointment for a root canal is preferable to this) , AVOID.
