I like Mahesh Bhatt's productions, but I do not go to see all his movies. If some directors, visuals, story-lines, music, actors appeal to me, I venture to those Bhatt cinema. The posters of this movie appealed me.
This movie is a re-make (what else Mahesh Bhatt productions can do?) of South Korean movie "The Bitter-sweet Life".
The story is about henchmen Shivam (Imraan Hashmi) who works for international mafia / girl trafficker Malik (Ashutosh Rana). Malik instructs Shivam to kill his comfort woman (purchased from girl trafficking trade) Reema (Mrinalini Sharma). But Shivam is not able to kill Reema because Reema reminds Shivan of his old lost love with a Muslim girl (Shriya of Tamil Sivaji fame). Instead Shivam decides to fight for Reema's freedom and unites Reema with her boyfriend.
The Director Mohit Suri maintains a tight script throughout the movie. The first half builds up the story and the second half paces if up with actions and fights. The musical score / songs by Pritam is also very good. Imraan Hashmi has acted well and has improved a lot since his debut. Ashutosh Rana steals the show with his powerful performance. Shriya in the small role leaves behind good memories and one would look forward to her Bollywood movies. Mrinalini is good in calm scenes but overacts in tense scenes.
There is an overload of action in the second half. The biggest drawback that let me down in the movie was the scripting of Imraan's escape from goon's hands. Throughout the movie all goons were shown immediately drawing out guns in that scene, strangely none of the 15-20 goons had gun with them to shoot our hero. I think that scene could had been thought out more creatively to look acceptable.
It has also the Hindu Muslim, the India Pakistani and Believer Atheist angles to it. Mahesh Bhatt likes this kind of stuff for making some personal points of his philosophy and also appealing to different audiences' tastes.
Overall the movie is okay but could had been much better.
