'Garv' - 'Old Wine In A Sparkling New Bottle'

Continued: << Previous Page

But what beats us is the two spending their evenings in plainclothes at a city's up market night club. Cops indulging in this is sort of unheard!

Coming back to the story, while Samar Singh is transferred, Hyder is killed. Arjun has barely recovered from Haider's death when his sister, Rakhi (Akanksha) is kidnapped and gang-raped forcing Arjun to take the law into his hands. This he does with conviction. Hasn't he been notorious for his dare devil ways? This is what really goes in his favour as well as that of the film. Salman is sentenced to death until the truth is revealed in the end. So all's well that ends well.

The film moves at a brisk pace and there is a lot happening. Shilpa Shetty (a nightclub dancer) is there only for oomph value in a forced romantic track. She loks gorgeous and has precisely 3-4 dialogues and about three songs. Obviously the hero needs respite from fighting the bad guys and indulge in some dream songs!

'Dum Mast Mast' and 'Hum Tumko Nigahone Mein' are hummable numbers. There is also a hot item number, 'Marhaba' (Reshma Bombaywala) that will be lapped up by the front-benchers.

Performances are good. Arbaaz Khan leaves a mark especially with his performance in the latter half of the film. Rajpal Yadav has precisely two scenes but makes an impact. The action sequences (brilliant) and dialogues are going to be lapped up by the masses.

This is no multiplex film. It is a total mass appeal film!
