One more disappointing film from the Ram Gopal Varma's stables. There is nothing wrong with the look of the film or the treatment, it's just that it's time the maker moved away from this genre of raw, hard hitting films. He seems to have exhausted himself. Burnt out!, is what we mean.

This time round it's a love story against the backdrop of violence. James (debutant Mohit Ahlawat) leaves his hometown Goa for Mumbai. He stays with his close friend. Looking at his physique, his friend immediately gets him a bouncer's job in the night club that he works in. James is completely at home in the place.

Cut to Nisha (Nisha Kothari). She writhes and pouts in a way only Ramu's heroines can. Then we realize that she is doing this for a music video. She's a model and has a loud admirer, Radhe. Don't know from where Ramu has handpicked his bunch of character actors for the film. Except for a couple of them, they all look new. Anyway, lover boy tells her how much he lusts for her in typical villain style. His brother happens to be a dreaded criminal of the area. Wonder which place this is where the police and criminals are so openly hand-in-glove! Lover boy even follows her to the local disc where superman James is the bouncer.
