As the movie’s opening credits roll, you hear a melodious song composed and sung by Himesh Reshammiya playing in the background, and for the nth time you wish the man continues giving you more music and concentrates less on in being front of the camera.
By the time you come to the end credits, in between all the snotting and sniggering, you make that wish again. Because, in spite of the bulging muscles and that constant intense gaze, Himesh the actor is never a patch on Himesh the musician.
Himesh plays the gun-toting badass who’s going thorough a bit of a love tangle with his girl, Tara( Farah Karimaee) . Tara leaves him in a huff to go to Dublin where she ends up in jail because she’s falsely implicated for drug possession. The lover boy decides to get her out with the help of Santino aka Bird( Naseeruddin Shah) .
The script holds a lot of interest but the patchy, amateur execution kills it. In his attempt to give it a Hollywood thriller kind of treatment, debutant director Shawn Arranha goes haywire with the camera angles and shots, and never finds his foothold back. What he ends up delivering is a lot of unintentional amusement — nowhere close to the ‘stylish’ film it is intended to be.
