 Another
one of Bipasha Basu's heroine-centric films but there's
something about her, either her looks or talent, that
leaves the audience unmoved!
Anupama (Bipasha Basu)
is the daughter of wealthy parents (Rajiv Verma, and
Smita Jaykar), which is evident from her lifestyle and
spending spree. The film starts with the wedding anniversary
of her parents. Soon tragedy strikes in the form of
Anupama's sister and brother-in-law getting killed in
the September 11 terrorist attack on World Trade Centre
in New York. Don't know why this sequence has been inserted
into the film because there seems to be no mention of
the dead anywhere in the film after that. Probably it
was the maker's way of showing his originality by showing
the Twin Tower tragedy on the big screen for the first
time!
A couple of years later,
Anupama 's parents introduce her to Arpit (Priyanshu),
a famous ad film maker. Arpit is smitten by Anupama
at first sight and wants to tie the knot at the earliest.
However, fate has something else in store. Anupama bumps
into Aman (John Abraham), a member of an anti-terrorist
organization. Cupid strikes and she is madly in love
with him. They go out for a movie together and end up
making love in his house that night. Now it is only
natural for her to refuse to marry Arpit. When her parents
protest, she slashes her wrist in frustration. She survives
the tragedy but unfortunately it is discovered that
there is no Aman existing. It is further revealed that
Anupama suffers from schizophrenia.
The film is disappointing
from now on. One would have rather had, clichéd
as it may sound, a heavy love triangle. Instead there
is a close to death Bipasha, a face off and on by Priyanshu,
on and off appearances by John Abraham until the suspense
is revealed in the end.
The climax is unconvincing.
Priyanshu's face off and on is done with so much ease,
it could have been a facial. Sad, what Bollywood can
do to a Hollywood blockbuster!
The humour in the initial
bit is hardly funny. And why is everyone screechy in
the first half of the film?
Roop Kumar Rathod's
music is pleasant.
Bipasha looks huge in
almost every frame. Someone please tell her to refrain
from wearing those strappy and off shoulder tops and
dresses. John Abraham proves yet again that he is a
good looker and can carry off designer clothes very
well. His screen chemistry with Bipasha though is very
good. Otherwise there are no great moments in the film.
Priyanshu is good in an under-played role yet again.
The rest of the cast is adequate.
The fate of this film
at the box-office is almost sealed. A sure shot disaster!
