Storyline

Ranvir and Rajiv are half brothers who own a huge stud farm in South Africa. Ranvir is a very shrewd and aggressive man while Rajiv is laid back, and a chronic alcoholic. Sophia, Ranvir's personal secretary adores and loves him. Ranvir is unaware of her feelings. Shaina, an Indian ramp model in Durban loves Ranvir but through a twist of fate gets married to his younger brother Rajiv. When she discovers that Rajiv is a chronic alcoholic, her world is shattered. Ranvir too is disturbed as he has sacrificed his love for his younger brother because Rajiv had promised to leave alcohol for good if he marries Shaina. In a weak moment Ranvir and Shaina come very close to each other. When Rajiv starts suspecting, all hell breaks loose. A murder is committed, a contract killing is issued. A sharp tongued detective R.D., getting wise on the proceedings, starts an intriguing investigation with his brainless bimbo assistant Mini.

User Reviews

Twists Twists Twists.............but finally brilliant ending

this film is good for entertainment.......twists are overloaded but it gains up in the climax...........starting is a mix up of '36 china town' and 'humraaz' (what i felt) but is acceptable. You'll see many stunts and direction is done pretty well .......however the story is full of suspense (thats what abbas mustan is known for).........the dialogs are little bit like one liners and most of them are not much impressive..........there are some confusing and forceful twists too ................ The film has good songs which wont let you get bored .........here saif ali khan and bipasha basu played an important role .....i tell you the ending is very good and i appreciate them (if not copied from Hollywood film)..........overall, its a must watch film .........u cant complain in the end.
