One of the best movies till date from the Bhatt camp. Shoaib Akhtar who was offered this role must be surely disappointed with the decision of leaving one of the most powerful lead roles of recent times where the expressions have been extracted from Amitabh Bachchan movies and emotional shades from Shahrukh khan movie RaamJaane or Sanjay Dutt movies like Khalnaayak or Vaastav where the hero is shown with a gray shade but still the audience loves them.
Story: -
The story is like a sandwich folded in a silver foil. Each time its unfolded you see a twist and turn. The tag-line itself is bit strange which means she fell in love with him only when she betrayed him.
-----READING BEYOND THIS POINT MIGHT SPOIL YOUR MOVIE PLEASURE IF YOU HAVE’NT SEEN AS YET-------
Its about Anand(Emraan) a club singer in the Korean city Seoul who is head over heels with this drunken lady Simran(Kangna Ranaut) whos eyes narrates an unread story.
Time for a song:- Tu hi meri shab hai
Anand is curious to read it and make her feel better. He is a person any girl would love her husband to be like! But she is still trying to figure out what went wrong in her life. Anand lifts her up every time she falls but still could not bring her story to her lips. One night when she could handle it no longer she erupts and what comes out is as dangerous as Lava. She is married and her husband is one of the most wanted criminal by the Mumbai police. She narrates everything about him, Daya(Shiney Ahuja), how she fell in love with him and how she is crushed by her destiny.
Daya returns.....and what he finds is that his wife is with someone else. Alas! since he loves her crazily he tries to become a good person. She is pregnant and plans to marry the father of the child, not Daya but Anand. Daya is trying all stunts to go back to India and marry the girl whom he has not yet touched but loves from the bottom of his heart. Obstacles as big as mountain everywhere!
Time for a song:- Ya Ali
Anand convinces her to get Daya arrested for Daya’s benefit and she does what he says.
Now if you re-read the Tagline of the movie you will understand what happens next?
There is a dark suspense!
Will she marry Daya or Anand is the question.
Watch Gangster to know what is what!!
Performances:-
Shiney Ahuja:- One of the best performances ever by a new comer who is hardly 6 movies old.
Zindagi Rocks, Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow, Karam, Sins and his first movie Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi as Vikram Malhotra. This man has lot more to give to Bollywood.
Emran Hashmi:- One of his best roles till date. Though he has done variety of roles like a taxi driver, footpath rowdy, obsessive lover etc. Why not finally he is a relative of Mahesh Bhatt.
Kangna Ranaut: -
Take my words this girl & Vidya Balan are the actress of the next gen. She has a very husky voice but we were wrong objecting the same in case of Rani. Next Bhatt camp production Woh Lamhe will show how good she is in different kind of roles.
Overall:- One of the most sensible movie of 2006 which stands out of all rib tickling comedies. Dont miss this!
