Meanwhile Ashwin Mehta ( Vijayendra Ghatge) a music company owner gets
brutally murdered in his home. The suspect Tarang Bhardwaj (Ajay Devgan),
a budding music director, is caught red handed running away from the scene
of the crime. Tarang who is a childhood friend and mentor of Sargam claims
to be innocent. Sargam hires Raj to defend him. He gets to know Tarang
and is convinced that he is innocent. Raj has to find the real killer
to prove it. But the dangerous mystery that unfolds when he goes deep
into the matter is astonishing.. and that's the main plot of the movie.
The events in the first half, has been handled skillfully and paced well.
The novel plot i.e at least in Bollywood, at times has an impact and is
interesting. But the script fails to keep the tempo in the second half.
The climax is predictable and the second half has some plot holes.
The performance of both the lead actors are praiseworthy. Akshaye Khanna
proves his mettle once again. This is one actor who has talent and is
admirable as the suave Raj. Ajay also is impressive especially in certain
sequences when his split personality is revealed- he has handled the personality
changes with ease. Urmila looks good as always and does her part well
in an otherwise male dominated film. Seema Biswas as the Psychiatrist,
and Tanaz Currim and Suresh Oberoi are okay.
Ismails Durbars music is disappointing barring one or two numbers.. could
have been better with the musical background of the storyline. But the
background score is good as well the cinematography.
Although not comparable to its original, the movie is a thriller with
enough suspense to keep the audience captive.. a watch-able entertainer.
