All is not what it seems...

Warning: Spoilers
we've seen this kind of story before but somehow with Aggar you keep waiting for what is going to happen next. It was well paced but nothing out of the ordinary.

Udita Goswami plays a married woman who gets involved with her husband's(played by Shreyas Talpade) psychiatric patient (played by Tushar Kapoor) when she suspects that her husband has been unfaithful to her. Upon Aryan's (Kapoor) release for a psychiatric ward, he is unknowingly hired as a scheduler for Jhanvi Merchant's(Goswami) company when he bumps into her personal assistant Reetu (played by Nauheed Cyrusi) at a coffee shop. By the way, Aryan had become a psychiatric case upon the accidental death of his unfaithful girlfriend Nisha (played by Sophiya Chaudhary) but that's a whole different story which happens at the beginning of the film. The plot twist occurs upon Aryan's release from the hospital when he meets and falls in love with Jhanvi behind the unsuspecting Dr. Aditya Merchant's (Talpade) back. But is Dr. Merchant really this naive as to be so clueless to what is going on in his immediate surroundings?

Overall, the film is okay. It was entertaining and the music was good but there was something lacking. The dialogue was quite poor (for example, I thought is was so suspicious that Dr. Merchant would call his wife "Biwi" as opposed to her first name but as the movie carries on you will understand why that particular dialogue was written that way and it's still inexcusable). We've seen both Talpade & Kapoor in better performances and even the normally electric Goswami seems wasted in her role. I would recommend this film to those who are just looking to pass the time. C-
