The story is about Sonia (Minissha Lamba) who lives with her mother, Mallika (Vidya Malvade) and grandmother because her parents divorced when she was ten. A week before her eighteenth birthday celebration, she gets kidnapped.
The abductor, Kabir (Imran Khan) is interested in speaking only to her father, Vikrant Raina (Sanjay Dutt); a New York based Indian business Tycoon with a net gross of $51.7 Billion, with whom he has an old score to settle.
Vikrant returns to India to retrieve his daughter from Kabir's clutches but is told to carry out a series of daunting tasks set out by Kabir - a condition to rescue her. At the end of each task is a clue that helps Vikrant in coming closer to Sonia.
The film had a good appealing story and screenplay but I still felt that it failed to deliver whatever it was supposed to. It is a thriller that wasn't thrilling and had so many flaws and plot holes that I was busy counting them rather than enjoying the movie e.g. Vikrant Raina is the richest tycoon but he only looked rich in his introduction and never throughout (John Abraham was rich in Zinda and he looked rich throughout). The movie never explained that why Vikrant Raina & his wife were divorced for 8 years? and why Vikrant Raina is afraid of water? The biggest mistake is the running length which was 2.5 hours and there just wasn't enough to make it that long and it certainly felt longer than that. The only memorable scenes were the animated sequence at the start, the chase scene on the rooftop and the nightclub near the end.
The Music is really good although it is really difficult to produce a collection of commercial songs for a thriller that is based around a kidnap. The best song is the gritty Mit Jaaye.
Overall it was O.K to be watched once but it didn't' live up to my expectations.
