The film tells the story of three young people. Karan (Sonu Sood) is an introvert who cannot muster courage to express his romantic feelings to Sneha (Tanushree Dutta), his college-mate.
At a party, Sneha gets introduced to Karan’s friend Vicky (Emraan Hashmi) who is quite an outspoken person and immediately strikes a common chord with her.
Sparks between Sneha and Vicky further grow after he joins her college.
Meanwhile, the quiet Karan feels sidelined. Knowing Vicky’s flirtatious nature, he tries to talk him out of his relationship with Sneha, but Vicky assures him that he is in love with Sneha. Karan feels he has lost the only woman he has ever loved.
But then certain incidents transpire in Vicky’s life that break Sneha’s trust in him. She returns to Karan to seek emotional support in her time of pain. A relieved Karan finally proposes her and the two decide to get engaged. But before this love story reaches its conclusion, Vicky returns. And that one night spent with him changes their lives forever.
There is a twist in the tale at the story’s end. But this twist is not the least convincing, owing partly to the poorly written climax and partly to actor Sonu Sood’s bland performance. Tanushree Dutta looks easy and comfortable in her debut. She does need to work on her diction. Emraan’s performance is plain average.
To say the least, the movie doesn’t stir any emotion inside you, except exasperation at times. The script is shoddily penned, the dialogues just not believable.
The director has relied more on style, technique, gloss and glamour (courtesy Tanushree Dutta) to make the movie interesting. But that is for the frontbenchers. The story, the treatment of characters, their depth – all these things never appear in the scheme of things. The cool and yuppie look that the movie’s maker has so desperately tried to give it, too fails to salvage the movie from being a lackluster fare.
