Shetty) enter the scene. Sultan too needs Badshah and Sapna
also wants to take revenge.

Review:

Akshay
Kumar has done excellent role and no one would have been able
to fit in his role. In second half movie he looks more smarter
and better as an actor. Karishma Kapoor has got no scope of
acting except dancing. Shilpa Shetty has different role here
than what she normally gets and she is okay in her role. Ashish
Vidhyarthi gives a good performance. The talented actor Ashutosh
Rana talent has been wasted in such a small role. The screenplay
is very poor. The story idea itself is good, but the director
and writer fail to take any advantage of it. Music by Anand
Milind is okay and few songs are catchy ('Mera yaar dildaar
bada sona', 'Kasam se', and 'Mausam ki tarha').
On whole it was an okay movie. Although it is not great super
hit stuff but still movie is good. |
