"Khal-Naaika" churns the story of the Hollywood flick "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" released a year ago its release; and it was released the same day Subhai Ghai's "Khalnayak" was released to tap in the later's controversy and success. Not jut the story, every scene and character is the same from the Hollywood flick though nowhere the credit is given.
In many parts the film stands inferior to its Hollywood counterpart. The film stars old stars, Jeetendra, Jaya Prada and Mehmood in the pivotal roles, which appear not more than the usual stereotypes and lack the freshness of the couple portrayed in the film. The saving grace is Anu Agrawal, who looks much meaner to the same in the Hollywood flick. The dialogues and gimmicks are ordinary; but the climax is a bit more fearsome to its Hollywood counterpart. Overall the film feels gripping and is watchable for Anu Agrawal and its stunning climax if you can let go the usual gimmicks of the 90s and the weary characters in the centre.
Rating: 1 star out of 4.
