Dristi just returned home to find her grandmother waiting at her doorstep. She was so elated and a few tears and hugs followed. She was preparing coffee while her grandmother sat before the TV, when
Dristi began to listen to the recorded messages on her phone. And the three messages came out in the order of their importance in her life:
1.     “Hi Dristi! This is your friend. I am on date with my boyfriend for lunch. So, as usual, please do pick up my son from school.”
2.     “Hi Dristi! This is Rahul. I felt to have disappointed you by complaining about your son. I’ll take care of him in school. Don’t worry. Take Care”
3.     “Hi Dristi! This is Papa. There is sad news. Your grandmother expired a few hours ago.”

This is the most striking part of the film: RAKTH and whatever followed this scene was the director’s confusion between a socio-fantasy and a murder mystery.

The Director’s Confusion: Blood is red. And it is scary. Water is colorless. But, I feel, it is scary in its own color (if colorlessness is a color). But the director made water look like blood and vice versa. May be he wanted to scare the audience! Was it water, or blood, or scare, which Mahesh Manjarekar was excited about? I felt he was confused in the excitement.

RAKTH: This film deals with the story of Dristi who has a sixth sense: with which she can foretell. Exciting! Right! But this sixth sense is as confusing as the director’s confusion. Dristi can also see dead people. And the central part of the immoral world, which is full of coveting, betrayal and absurdity, involves a bizarre murder. Now, to unfurl the mystery, Dristi glances back at the past (I don’t know how to term this sixth sense!).

The Bloody Crew: On the blood-stained silver screen, except for the protagonist, played by Bipasha Basu, there were lots of confusions between the actors: Sanjay Dutt, Neha Dhupia, Dino Moreo, Sunil Shetty……. They were unable to decide, who among them the baddie is. Everyone craved to be one.
Off the screen, the sound recording was overdone. The audience will be confused between headache and ear ache. The songs too have a confusion; whether they should entertain the audience with scantily clad babes, or should they be there as a Bollywood formula.

End of Confusion: When Abhishek Bachchan romances the widowed Bipasha Basu in an unconditional song, I came out the confusion. Yes! This is a useless film. It neither entertained me nor made me serious.
