After Neha is abused by her husband Jaideep, she goes back to her ex-lover. She is caught in a dilemma when Jaideep returns and promises to mend his behavior; however, Jaideep has his own motive.
A brilliantly directed remake of the Hitchcock classic "Dial M for Murder" where Raj Babbar assumes the Ray Milland role, the murderously scheming husband, and the exquisite Dimple Kapadia is in the Grace Kelly role. Suresh Oberoi plays her ex-lover whose shoulder she leans on when her husband's horrid behaviour hits the fan. The pace is nifty, the tension is unbearable at some points, and though it's a Bollywood film, any such masala style melodrama is kept at a minimum, and a touch of class pervades in the air as well as menace. There are good performances all around, even Naseeruddin Shah, whom I don't like, but the accolades has to go to Raj Babbar whose transition from a horrible husband to a caring one is effortless. He's cold, scheming and his lurking in the corner in Sagar secretly observing his wife and her lover is right sinister. The climax ends with a fitting conclusion.
