i was not expecting much when i sat down to watch the movie. so when the movie started off i was presently surprised.

the story is about jakie shroff and his wife having a happy married life when raveena enters their life. raveena is an old girlfriend of jakie's who was in the mental institution for 14 years. she enters jakie's blissful life with a bomb. they had a child together who was given up fpr adoption. so jakie follows raveena to go met their son. all the while mahima is worried about losing her husband.

the initial 1/2 hour was quick and engaging. however after the the confrontation of raveena and mahima the pace gets very very slow. i was watching the movie on chase play and fast forwarded the 3 songs that came. however i found the tune of "mujhe se kyun roothe ho" very catching. its a soothing song. great for when relaxing after a hard day. the acting of the 3 principal characters was very nice. no overacting. though i'm not a big fan of mahima, i found her watchable in the movie. her outfits like usual had lots of cleavage. raveena's outfits were simple, 1 colour long skirts with matching tops or tank tops with jeans. amongst the 3 Jakie looked the best. his simple attire of jeans, while shirt and blazor was very smart. and he simply carries himself very well.

all in all watching the movie got very tiring towards the end. i give the movie 3.5 stars out of 6.
