A good commercial flick by Naseer, 28 July 2006
7/10
Author: Vishal Agrawal from United States

A small time cricketer Raj (Naseer) finds out that he is an heir to unbelievable riches. The only catch is he has to spend 30 carore rupees in 30 days to inherit it.

This is a very good film. Naseer for a change has acted well. Naseer I don't know why performs badly in commercial flicks. Satish Shah is mind blowing. Aditya Pancholi is good. Mandakini is of course forgettable. Poonam Dhillan is just OK. Gavaskar has obliged everyone by his guest appearance. Music is bad. Soul of the film is Naseer and story itself. There's a lot going on in this film. Frame after frame there's something inventive and interesting going on. The whole 'Ohm' built-up is corny and stupid. The way Naseer spends his money is very well done. It seems he cant own a property so he keeps spending on helicopters and salaries etc. Very enjoyable flick from 80's. Is this a remake? Of course it is. Its an invalid question in India.
