Stay away and save yourself from committing a Gunaah to your senses……

Believe me guys I am being very liberal while giving the above rating, for the pain and mental suffering I went through while watching this film was much higher. What has been promoted as a love story OF two enemies, should actually have been a love story BY two enemies (of the audiences) – the writer and the director. Did Mahesh Bhatt quit direction just to write such haywire scripts where the story-line constantly dodges from one plot to another? And the suspense element of the film is for the viewer to decide whether the movie is a messy murder mystery OR a bullshit love story OR the regular revenge drama.

The hero of the movie, a firefighter turned terrorist-cum-revolutionary, murders somebody who urinated on his father's face. Enter the heroine, an honest police officer who boasts about her daredevil personality stating "Criminals pass urine in their pants on listening my name", soon arrests the hero. Then there is a villain, again a police officer, constantly on the lookout to outwit the heroine, scowling and screaming "If I don't seek my revenge, then urinate on my face". Dunno why every other character in the movie was so anxious to relate himself with the nature's call. Yuck… Indeed a very stinky affair.

Meanwhile there is also a secret informer ex-constable (appearing more like a foreign beggar begging in some subway) who keeps on giving useless suggestions to the heroine. The song are shot in an intensely irritating way.

Bipasha maintains a pesky, grumpy look throughout, puffing and panting endlessly. Thankfully Dino doesn't utters a single word for the first two hours, much to the audiences' relief. Ashutosh Rana gets the least opportunity to ham. Irrfan, the villain, utters the word prostitute in his every single dialog of the movie. And if director Amol Shetge thinks that using expletives in the narrative, can make a scene look more realistic, he should better work on the script and shot execution.
