muvi-fan-73 The movie has been on list of my favorites for quite some time now, so thought of reviewing it after getting an account. The sole reason I like this movie is the revenge main lead (Urmila Matondkar) takes against another main lead (Saif Ali Khan) who ruined her life.No one should take any women for granted with their lies or force. If that happens, they should be highlighted with the punishment, the kind of such as expressed in this movie. To find out what happens, watch the movie.Tone, Script & Story: It's a revenge story, scripted with fair pace. Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: May it be residence, jail or any other location along with other factors the movie does justice to everything. Unnecessary music is refrained from and I respect that. Acting: Acting from main leads along with side leads especially in jail never lose your memory. They are good.Final Verdict: It's a fairly plotted revenge treat, everyone should be aware of, especially the people who treat women disrespectfully or consider them as toys. Such practices should be adopted and made public. About the movie - you must definitely watch it.

rohanrs1 Amazing Thriller. Urmila proves once again that she is a versatile actor. Saif's character has Grey shades. Nice work done by Saif. Film didn't get its due. Must watch for Thriller/Suspense fans. Urmila takes a break from her psycho / possessed roles she had played in earlier films. She plays a victim here...who is victimized till pushed to wall. And then she bounces back to take the revenge. That transformation is amazing. Noteworthy mention: Seema Biswas as a cop and two women prisoners in the jail. Cons- Sometimes predictable. There are parts of film which look unrealistic, for example - Urmila blindly trusts Saif in the first half of the film (which is bit extreme). However, she learns her mistakes only after getting convicted for a crime she never did.

beany82 What makes this movie so good and convincing is that it strays from every Bollywood stereotype out there. The plot moves quickly and does not lag. There are no forced song and dance scenes as this is not the type of movie for that and I am glad that the director did not force these into this movie. The acting is superb and there are many western elements such as storyline and direction that make this piece fabulous and a piece for people that are not familiar with Bollywood films to watch.It does get a bit cheesy when Saif Ali Khan breaks out the martial arts moves but Urmilla's acting is wonderful. You can see her character transform convincingly and Saif Ali Khan as the menacing bad guy is quite the fit! It's a revenge story finally told right in the fluff that clutters the few gems of Bollywood cinema. It's a movie that did not have it's vision compromised for the sake of trying to fit in to Bollywood. I would definitely recommend this movie to everybody, especially those that have not seen an Indian film before and who are curious.

Herag Halli Ram Gopal Varma and his cadre of Film Makers are respected and feared at the same time by the Mumbai Film Industry which is comprised of three factions-the older Yash Chopra's who have lost touch and they are the dinosaurs of the Industry. The younger crowd the likes of Johar clearly have prostituted their talent by falling into the fishnet thrown by the likes of SRK, whose motive is selfish and enriching at the expense of the Industry. Then there is the middle ground the likes of Ram Gopal Varma, Vikaram Bhatt and Nagesh Kukunoor, who have the courage and conviction, but they and their actors are chastised and black listed by the SRK/Johar crowd. I will see any movie from the RMG Banner with some reservation like "Dharna Mana Hai" which is more an aberration than norm. The best movies the Banner has produced were "Mai Madhuri Dixit Banna Chaahte Hoon", "Bhoot", "Company" and "Ab Taak Chappan". This movie is in the lines of "Teen Dewarien" by Kukanoor with a starking and violent female prison infested with gangs who prey on the new entrants like locusts nothing different from a male prison but more vicious. Prison movies are never a Commercial success since there are not located on the slopes of Switzerland where the main leads can dance to a 24 piece orchestra conducted by a Malik or a Rahman. Urmila Matondkar who is a discovery of Ram Gopal Varma has given an impeccable performance in a movie that the other actresses would shun away from. Saif Ali Khan who is one of the better actors with the last name Khan has done a superb job. The thing that stands out with this actor is his diction with a voice fit for an actor unlike Salman Khan who delivers his dialog like an obscene phone call. This movie is testament to the belief that good actors invariably end up with good directors or the other way around as in this case, Sriram Raghavan. The movie is spell binding with great authenticity of the prison scenes. This is one of the movies you derive pleasure from watching instead of the false sense of satiety of watching the the filth that is delivered in the name of cinema most of them dtarring the ugly Sharukh Khan Salman Khan and Amir Khan.
