A promising journalist Vikas Sagar (Zayed Khan) is offered a position to head a controversial news station in Istanbul by its owner Owais Husain (Sunil Shetty). With this offer comes the promise of money and many other perks that make this offer hard to refuse, especially since Vikas is currently going through a very painful divorce with his wife Anjali (Shriya Saran). After working for the channel that in turn changes his life, he decides to quit, however it is brought to his attention by a Turkish commando Rizwan Khan (Vivek Oberoi), that others who have quit had been killed for knowing too much. It becomes a battle - which will win, the sword or the pen? Written by Kelli Eyres
Having seen Apoorva's earlier film "Shootout..." knew there would be lot of guns.
But this movie has only guns and explosion. The entire movie is like a walk in the park for the characters.There is no story..no character building.
World's most wanted terrorists walk in and out of Al Johra building(someone forgot to mention the underground rail network to ferry them in and out) A terrorist is in Istanbul and in the next scene in Srinagar(someone forgot to tell me about the star-gate) After a heavy chase with bullets flying all over, 20 of the bad guys come with chains, sticks and whatever they can lay their hands on (someone forgot to tell me about the bad guys running out of bullets) The best they could do was some sort of a charcoal painting of the 3 guys when they are on the run. haven't you heard of colour prints.
Why doesn't any of the characters have a 3 digit IQ.(of course journalism doesn't require any. Watch aaj tak and you will know) The movies I thought of while watching this, matrix, resident evil, district 13, one of the Jackie Chan movies, Equilibrium.
I liked the soundtrack and the background score. Of course it reminded me of resident evil. The movie could have been a lot better if they had someone to rework on the script.
The movie do have one or 2 laughs. the action is nothing new. None of the songs are good.
Worth a one time watch.......NOPE....
