1/10
a classic case of illogical reasoning

Warning: Spoilers
Welcome to a land of Nowhere. If there is some award for the absence of logic or reasoning, than it should be given to this film, as it has surpassed all its contemporaries and shall have absolutely no competition with any other film.

Esha Deol meets Zayed and sings a duet with him. Soon after she gets the news of her Uncle who is killed in Thailand. She sets out for Thailand. Now look at the turn of events.

Other than an Uncle whom she has not even met for years, no relatives of Esha are shown. Who is paying for her bills, from her birth till her adulthood ? The Thai Police officers mutters some strange, nonsense, illogical words. Even an illiterate can make out that it can be anything but Thai language. The supposedly rich uncle of Esha is running down the streets with his only possession-a cheap handbag before he gets killed. The Killers who killed him for his money forgotten completely to take away the bag. Why in the first place did they kill him when they should know that he can be the only person who knows about the money ? The Police Deptt. who is investigating the murder case didn't even bothered to check a coin worth 10 Crore and it just escapes from their eyes whose very job is to find where all the money disappeared ?

Next, a Criminal not just enters an embassy but even poses as a high-rank official and nobody is keeping a check on it in the entire building. Now this Embassy official tells Esha deol that her life is in danger but he did not even send any security considering she is all alone in a Foreign Land. She turns out to be the Ultimate as she didn't even suspect his identity, at that time. Esha has enough money to stay in a luxury hotel but not enough to buy herself a mobile phone that too when her life is in danger. Esha is threatened again and again by criminals who are after her life and still she never asks for a Police protection. The Criminals including a skimpily-dressed bimbette look like cartoon characters straight out of a Walt Disney book-imagine them into stuff like Bank-Dacoity ?

Zayed Khan, a stranger from a foreign country lands up in Thailand and the so-called hard-core criminals not just employs him but even entrust him the responsibility of hooking the heroine and getting a fortune from her. All Characters stay in the same hotel, where the criminals openly attacks Esha Deol and Zayed Khan umpteen times, open fires at them but nobody not even a single waiter seems to be affected by it. To Top it, there is nobody seen around in the hotel. One after the other the murders took place in the hotel, but there is no sign of Police. Even the hotel rooms of the deceased are not sealed or locked. A Coin worth 10-crore is being sold openly in a small 10X10 shop at a shopping mall. Anybody can just walk in and buys it. There is no system of checking its authenticity.

In the climax, when Hero has to bash up the Villains he don't just kick them but jumps in the air, takes a complete somersault and then kicks them. One can just wonder why didn't the victim run away in the meantime. (Three cheers to Stunt Director Sham Kaushal for matching the imagination of the Director).

I'm sure there will be more such instances . The film is from a nowhere land and I just wonder how come the director Mr. Sangeeth Sivan considered his audience also to be from there ?
