Director Sudhir Mishra's latest venture comes after a gap of four long years. Khoya Khoya Chand takes the audience to the golden era of Indian cinema in the 1950s. This is the story of the turbulent life and times of Nikhat (Soha Ali Khan), a fledgling actress. She becomes a huge star with the help of superstar Prem Kumar (Rajat Kapoor), unfortunately for favours returned. A young writer - director, Zafar (Shiney Ahuja), helps Nikhat to free herself from the grip of Prem Kumar.

The film has its interesting moments, but that's about it. It seems to go on and on and fails to hold the attention of the audience. Also, it is replete with details and references to actual industry instances and people, which is unlikely that the common man might comprehend.

Shiney Ahuja once again proves that he can act ... only in films made by Sudhir Mishra. For Soha Ali Khan, the role is tailor made and she lives up to the expectations. Rajat Kapoor shows tremendous growth as an actor. Soniya Jahan (earlier seen in Akbar Khan's Taj Mahal) is good. Vinay Pathak is excellent as usual. Saurabh Shukla and Dipannita Sharma, form rest of the supporting cast.
