Storyline

Sangli-based Shiva Kumar re-locates to Mumbai to live with his brother, Daksh; Bhabi, Manasi; and their son. He gets recruited as a Sub-Inspector with Mumbai Police, and Manasi hopes that he will accept Haftas like other police officers so that they can improve their standard of living. Instead, Shiva befriends a rebel journalist from Daily News Analysis (D.N.A.), Sandhya Joshi, who is determined to expose the nexus between the police and the underworld; and incurs the wrath of his superiors as well as a former underworld don, Bappu, who is now an influential politician. After apprehending a vicious killer, Kutney, from Malaysia, Shiva is summoned by Home Minister, Manohar Shirke - and it is this meeting that will alter Shiva's life forever.

RGV's very hard work to undress Nisha Kothari
4 May 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Mockery, ridicule, joke etc, many words can describe this movie. Looks like Ram Gopal Verma produced and directed a movie with just an intention to undress Nisha Kothari. But I just keep guessing, why work so hard for that? I seriously cant believe that RGV made this movie himself. Some people might not even agree with this, but I think at least they bothered to change the end or at least tried to. Same old base, same plot, story etc. But still, for some reason, I still think that this could have been a better film. Some good actors like Upendra Limaye and Ranvir Shorey were totally wasted. Mohit Alhawat might be a good actor, but needs to come out of the shadow of Ram Gopal Verma. On the other hand, Nisha Kothari will last in the film industry as long as she stays in the shadow of RGV, or should I say, as long as she keeps exposing for him. 2 stars
