Suniel Shetty (Sanju), the local mechanic and a real toughie idolizes Arjun, and has a younger sibling Sahil (John Abraham) whom he dotes on. As films have it, Sahil studies in the same college as Karan and Bindiya.
So there is great scope for songs and a car-race. We wonder why every filmmaker after 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' believes that cheerleaders, pompoms, and Kawasaki bikes are all there is to college life?
Life cannot be all fun and games. So Sahil has a crush on Bindiya, who reciprocates his feelings. But suddenly Karan realizes that she is the girl of his dreams (Now aren't they living in the same house as siblings?).
A love triangle develops. Words are replaced by fists and that's when you finally decide that you've had enough but A. R. Rahman's music prompts you to stay on.
The performances are just about okay. But one can't blame the actors. It's impossible for an actor to do justice to such roles with badly etched-out characters although Sunny does keep you interested in some portions. Suniel is looking cool. That's about it. Sohail Khan is wooden. Probably that's his idea of underplaying and looking cool. John Abraham should stick to the 'Jism' sort of roles. Nauheed Cyrusi shows a slight improvement as compared to her previous films.
Abbas Ali Moghul's action scenes are superb. Otherwise it is one more film that will find a place for itself in the list of disasters of 2004!
