Synopsis

Gangster and criminal Don, Suraj Rana, who is also known for his kindness, adopts a street urchin named Arjun, and teaches him all the tricks of the trade, so that he can succeed him, even though he has a son named Karan. Arjun and Karan grow up as brothers, and Arjun takes charge of all criminal activities after Suraj passes away. Karan has fallen in love with Bindiya, the daughter of Suraj's deceased employee, and would like her to marry him. But Bindiya is in love with Saahil, and only likes Karan. Karan now decides to take the matter into his own hands, and thereby force Arjun to take sides either for him or against him.

aaronbir Why did I watch is boring movie is because there were some actors that I like a lotI hated the ending so much it was so terrible i was disappointed when one of the male lead actor was a villainthe actor was not even fit for the negative role he is only suitable in positive characters like comic , supporting, and the main protagonistI did not like the background music much In my point of view it is a big flop i give 1/10 or 1/5 rating
Asbohra Lakeer is okay as a movie. Sunny Deol shines in the first half, but then he is sidelined in the second half only to show up later in the movie before the climax. The way the movie went, Sunny should have just been in full action. Anyways, the story overall is not too bad, as it does have the 2 biggest action heroes in Bollywood: Sunny Deol and Sunil Shetty. The scenes between them are worth watching. Also, Sunny's avatar is somewhat different from his usual action hero avatar, but he amazes in all areas. I wish that he had more footage in this film. This may not be exactly the best movie, but it is a decent time pass, if you ever do catch it on TV.
Wyldesteele Each of the two previous reviewers has a point but I'm more inclined to agree with Sherazade. I'll start with the positive sides of this film: a) Some of the songs are a delight, case in point 'Nachley' (gotta watch it again to learn all the moves...) and the basketball dance was outrageous, b) Nauheed Cyrusi is a promising actress who does what she can with her role (and she's the one who seemed to overact least) and mood-wise, some of the scenes (on the beach for instance) brought Miami Vice and Saundra Santiago to mind, and that's always good... anyway, that's about it. As has been said, the first quarter of the film is a mishmash of scenes not really connected to each other. What the hell is the point with the car chase?! As the film progresses, the overacting starts to annoy you. More than annoying are many of the scenes and recurring gimmicks that are downright laughable. As an example of the latter I present "Arjun's ominous walking music" - you might miss it the first time around but when Arjun gets up for the MILLIONTH time to beat sb up or to act threateningly and the silly music begins again, you can't help but to laugh. And the beatings are frustrating to watch. One punch is shown 1-4 times from different angles, maybe in slow mo, to really soak up the sweet violence on offer. What is the point? Was there a director present on the set?! And yes, the family relations were confusing for me too - what, Karan's courting her sister?! All in all, it took me about five days to finish this film. So it's not like it had me nailed to the couch.
Sherazade I am trying to think about something good to say about this film, oh! okay, John Abraham and that's it! You know when people tell you never to judge a book by its cover, or when they say don't go see a film just because of the cast, this film is a perfect example for that! I don't even know where to begin! The plot is not even sure whether it wants to be 'The Godfather', 'Mother -er Father India?' or a really bad soap opera! The actors over-react in almost every scene, they OVERACT, their lines are unbelievable, the songs mostly suck or the playback-singers voice does not match the face of the person miming to it! The whole movie is just one big mess! Suniel Shetty (he plays Saahil's older brother) and Sunny Deol's (He plays Karan's uncle and underworld leader Arjun Rana) acting talents are wasted because even they don't know what to make of the script, it's almost like they are just reading their lines because the script is so bland! One thing that confused me a lot was, all through, I couldn't understand what the relationship between Bindiya and Karan was? I mean why was he after her? wasn't she his sister? I just didn't get the whole mess of a plot! The only consolation was getting to see John Abraham as a young and sexy (yet brainy) teenybopper named Saahil who gives Karan a run for his money and who's just the right dose of goofy, charming, pout-y, angst-y and yet adorable boyfriend material! It's no wonder Bindiya can't resist him. My favourite scene was when John (Saahil) goes to practice basketball only to find out that the cheerleaders have taken over the court for their cheers practice, he waits and watches them, then his crush Bindiya (and yup you guessed it! she's the head cheerleader) comes over after wards and they start looking at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to say to each other. She says "hi" and he smiles and says "Hi" back, then silence. This repeats like 5 times until Bindiya coyly changes the subject. That scene was the best part of the whole movie! This is the sort of film you see, purely because you're a fan of John or any other actor who's in it, just so you can say you've seen all their films! Skip it, if you would rather spend your time watching a quality film instead.
