Storyline

Raj Goyal (Akshaye Khanna) is a renowed and successful attorney. At a musical party he is introduced to Sargam (Urmila Matondkar) by Ashwin Mehta (Vijayendra Ghatge). The next day Ashwin is murdered. Sargam approached Raj to defend the accused, Tarang Bhardwaj (Ajay Devgan). Raj reluctantly accepts, and with the help of a psyciatricist is able to prove that Tarang is innocent. But is Tarang really the person who gives the impression? Or is he Ranjit, another personality in his character, who is capable of killing? Raj's mother is played by Farida Jalal, and Tiku Talsania plays his uncle Ratan. Suresh Oberoi plays the prosecuting attorney, and Mazhar Khan is Ashwin's brother, Abhijeet, who has been stealing song material from Tarang.

Remake of PRIMAL FEAR

Anees Bazmee made diverse films before sticking to comedy post NO ENTRY

DEEWANGEE a remake of PRIMAL FEAR + DARR yet it is well handled

The first half keeps you on the edge though the songs distract The turning point is well handled

The second half has some good scenes like Ajay-Akshaye conflict in the hospital but then things get routine and it looses it's impact Climax is boring

Anees Bazmee handles the film well Music is bad, most songs are boring

Ajay Devgan handles his character very well, those who don't know the suspense will get shocked This was his first negative role and he excelled Akshaye Khanna is convincing, His scenes with Ajay are awesome Hope to see him in such roles now again Urmila annoys at places and is okay at places The rest are okay
