This is one of those rare films that pick up post-interval. The first half is just spent in establishing characters but it ends up looking like a wishy washy film made by some amateurish filmmaker. It's difficult to believe that it's the thriller-specialists Abbas-Mustan at work!

One wouldn't miss much if he caught up with the film after the interval. However, to give credit to the makers the post-interval section when the investigation begins is entertaining and engrossing but is by no means an edge-of-the-seat thriller!

One murder, seven suspects, is the story in a nutshell. Sonia (Isha Koppikar) in a friendly appearance, is the owner of a casino in Goa. The most important person in her life is her son, Vicky.

One day he's kidnapped and she's depressed. She offers a reward of Rs. 25 lakhs to anyone who can bring him back.
