Biswajit Tripathy The movie is the remake of Hollywood blockbuster Disclosure.This is the story of ambition. What amibition can do to you. A Law student Priya gets married to a guy Raj working for a cellphone company. After the marriage Raj buys a bungalow. During the annual meeting, when Raj was expecting a promotion as the CEO and a hike, instead gets promoted as the Director of the Company. When he tries to find out the reason, he comes to know the reason behind is Sonia, wife of the Owner of the Company and once his love. Sonia left Raj years ago in South Africa in her ambition to do something in life. During the time she even got pregnant and aborted the child.Sonia wants Raj to bow down to her wishes in exchange for the promotion, but Raj denies. Sonia then charges Raj with Rape.Raj was thrown out of the company. But Raj doesn't give up like all others. He files a sexual harassment case against Sonia. Now this is going to a very tricky case as the law always supports women on these kinds of cases. But then a for a change Priya fights the case for Raj after his lawyer had an accident and fails to attend the court. Priya the wife, gets all the evidence to nail Sonia which results in a happy ending for Raj.
Manoj Ransing The first time I started watching this movie, in first ten seconds I realize that this is copy cat from movie "Disclosure". (I doubt if director has actually read the original novel). The scene where Raj pats his secretary's bottom directly gave me this hint. I was very disappointed, and then watch this movie, just for the sake of watching without any interest. But later, when I saw it on Television, I found it interesting. Right from the songs, music, story-telling, acting, everything is great. Raj who is now married and living happy life, gets a shock when his ex-girlfriend enters in his life as his Boss. She demands having sex with him, and he refuses. Hurt Priyanka (Boss/ and ex girlfriend) put a blame on him, as a rapist. Raj certainly not happy with this, puts a case on her in court. Finally with the help of his lawyer wife Kareena he proves that women can sometime have negative characteristics in case of sex. The story actually starts with the meeting of Kareena and Akshay, and slowly catch the main theme. Songs are pretty good and so overall music. Actingwise, Akshay is very good. Kareena and Priyanka are impressive in their characters. Director has done an excellent job, in bringing out drama slowly in the movie. Overall though, it is a copy cat movie, you will not regret watching it. (Now I own DVD of this movie.)
david_makinster The only thing I have to add to the other reviews is that you may be fooled into thinking you know what will happen next -- more than once, in fact -- but just when you think this is just a Bollycat version of DISCLOSURE, there are a few plot twists remaining. Actually, the film starts off as though it is going to be a goofy romantic comedy, but there are many changes in store.The performances are good all around. I thought Kareena (the most gorgeous woman on the planet) Kapoor was wasted, until the final scenes when she steps forward to do battle. Her character's closing arguments are actually more balanced than the message of DISCLOSURE, which I thought simply demonized Demi Moore's character. And the bad girl, Sonia (Priyanka Chopra) ends up seeming pathetic, not simply evil. Can it be that justice is not the same as revenge? My only complaint is that the music and dance numbers are less than memorable, although not bad by any means. If you like Bollywood, definitely see this one.
AishFan Abbas-Mustan live up to their expectations once again! For the first time, Bollywood sees such a shocking role reversal. Priyanka does an extraordinary job and is easily the best part of this film. She plays her role of an excessively aggressive lady very convincingly with passion. Supposedly the supporting actress, she easily overshadows her co-stars. Akshay, nonetheless, also gave a great performance and proves he can play any role. Kareena was slightly disappointing, especially in comparison with her past performances and with Priyanka. However, the excellent script does not let this be very noticeable. Songs are not bad. My favorites are Yeh Dil Tumpe Aa Gaya and I Want to Make Love to You.
