Babu even makes a pass at Lakshmi and when Arvind protests, he shows
his true colours by pulling out a gun forcing Arvind out of the car. He
takes off with Lakshmi leaving Arvind stranded on the desert road. A helpless
Arvind seeks help in a friendly trucker (Makrand Deshpande) who helps
him rescue her. But Babu strikes back and takes off with Lakshmi again.
This time Arvind gets the help of the cops while Lakshmi is left to deal
with the maniac.
The first half of the film keeps you at the edge of your seat. The thrills,
the effects, the background music, cinematography.. everything is slick
through out the film but the script suffers in the second half. Post interval,
the film focuses too much on Manoj Bajpai and his change of character,
while Vivek Oberoi is pushed to the background. But the director deserves
full credit for the perfect execution of shots. Cinematographer Sudeep
Chatterjee, background scorer Amar Mohile and Arun Nambiar for the sound
effects deserve special mention for their excellent contribution to the
film.
The actors have done their parts well.. Manoj Bajpai is in top form as
the eccentric creep Babu, Vivek Oberoi impresses with his convincing act.
He makes a good pair with Anthara Mali, his costar in 'Company '. Makrand
Deshpande as the jovial truck driver and Rajpal Yadav does well.
A film watchable just for its technical finesse and novel theme.
