A Still from 'Yakeen'

Nikhil start his life from scratch again. At first, he relies on the care and guidance of his loving wife and business associates (Ankur Nayyar and his sister Kim Sharma). But soon there is confusion. He comes across some documents in his office that makes him wonder about his wife's fidelity. He reconnects with a detective (Saurabh Shukla) and decides to dig deeper!

There is quite a bit of cinematic liberty which the viewer might detect but talking about it now will be giving away the suspense element of the film. Now for the performances. Arjun Rampal delivers a good performance. He also looks dishy. His badly battered face in the hospital looks real. Priyanka Chopra has attempted another interesting role after 'Aitraaz'. But we wonder if the masses will really love her for this character.

Kim Sharma is okay in a brief role. Saurabh Shukla is excellent as the detective. Ankur Nayyar is efficient but his role has been cut short by happily packing him off to London. He's not even around when a tragedy occurs in his sister's life! Sudhanshu Pandey is good. Anushuman Mahaley's camerawork is good. Well-executed action sequences by Abbas Ali Moghul. Himesh Reshammiya's music is soulful. What could go against the film is the lack of hype and publicity around it. Otherwise it should do average business.
