Director Vinod Pande
Genre Drama
Year 2007
The film begins with a murder. A corporate honcho is murdered by a sexy siren
after they've made love. She draws a Swastik on his forehead with his blood.
More murders take place. The police [Harsh Chhaya] is completely clueless. The
murderer keeps in touch with the Editor of a woman's magazine [Deepshikha] since
she wants her story to be printed. The truth behind her behavior is only
revealed in the end.
The brutal murder at the very start sets the pace. You are hooked. The murderer
behaves rather mysteriously and that only makes the goings-on fascinating. But
the post-interval portions are a terrible letdown, thanks to inept writing
[screenplay: Vinod Pande, Preeti Koppikar, Prerna Agarwal].
One of the cops [Deep Raj Rana] gets to know the murderer's identity [he spends
some tender moments with her], but he too is murdered. That's when the writing
falls to its lowest level. The cop had informed his seniors, yet they don't
close in on the murderer. She suddenly becomes a nurse and her story is revealed
by a journo who has been entrusted the job of unearthing her mysterious past.
The climax is equally bizarre.
