Watching this disaster will make one feel like time has stood still. Three hours have never seemed so long. We wonder what choreographer-turned-writer-director Ahmed Khan had in mind while making this film! He takes his own time to introduce his five main characters that one can't help feeling. Tasteless Art direction (was there any really?) and the garish clothes all add to the drudgery of watching the film.

If 'Lakeer' suggests that it's a film based on Indo-Pak relationships then you're wrong. Sunny Deol plays Arjun Rana, a don with a conscience, and is very popular with people as well as with the police commissioner. He is firmly attached to his foster brother Karan (Sohail Khan), whose father, Baba, had supported him as an orphan and initiated into the mafia.

If you are expecting an underworld film, then you are wrong again. The film is about relationships and how circumstances change when relationships cross the forbidden lines. So the title, 'Lakeer'.

Coming back to the story, Arjun is equally attached to his foster sister, Bindiya (Nauheed Cyrusi), another orphan whom Baba had taken under his wing. Like all brothers, Arjun too wants the best for his siblings and wants to keep them away from his dangerous world.
