Okay, so we all know this story is not the most original one around being quite similar to the likes of Fatal Attraction, Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, Aitraaz, Gupt, etc. However, one thing that set this movie slightly apart is Karishma's character. She is more realistic and is not portrayed as simply an evil vamp. All characters are shown to have gray shades. Akshay is shown to fall into temptation and lust resulting in him having an affair. Amisha is not Miss Goody-Goody Indian housewife but admits that she will not be able to trust Akshay completely after what he's done. Karishma doesn't go on a murdering rampage to kill Amisha but is frustrated and feels defeated by the failure of her sincere love and feelings. All three characters are shown to be more realistic. Karishma's performance is absolutely magnificent, though it can be debatable if it's as good as Priyanka in Aitraaz. The title song and "Jabse Mile Ho Tum" are quite melodious tracks.
