Storyline

Dr. Viren Goenka lives a very wealthy lifestyle in Bombay, along with his wife, Sanjana, and asthma-ridden daughter, Anishka. He has recently been declared 4 of 11 best Cardio surgeons in the world, and is to be felicitated in Delhi, just a few days before Anishka's birthday. In Delhi he is lodged in a five-star hotel, and after the award presentation he is approached by woman, who forces herself in his room, takes out a gun, and informs him that his daughter has been kidnapped, while another kidnapper is holding his wife hostage. Viren is soon told via the woman's cell phone that the kidnappers demand is one Crore rupees, which Viren arranges to pay. As soon as he arranges for the money, he is told since necessary medicines had to be provided for his ailing daughter, the demand is now two Crore rupees.

Will They Meet The Deadline?

Well, who cares? 'Deadline: Sirf 24 Ghante' does get into action right from the start as it shamelessly rips off Luis Mandoki's 'Trapped'. Tanvir Khan pretty much copies every scene and even so, the execution is poor because it's made on a very low budget as a result of which it perhaps isn't as slick as it could have been. The cinematography does not do much to help. The absence of songs keeps the pace steady. The only thing that stands out in this hackneyed film is the acting. Konkona Sen Sharma does a fine job of a young Indian modern housewife and mother who is held hostage at her own house while her daughter's abducted and her husband himself is a hostage. Sandhya Mridul is spot on. Irfan Khan is wonderful and Rajit Kapoor and Zakir Hussain do very well. The child actress is horrible as she tries to copy Dakota Fanning (who was also awful). Overall, 'Deadline: Sirf 24 Ghante' is a banal thriller. Tanveer Khan just proves to be another Bollywood hack.
