The film is an ensemble of page 3 characters. The least they could have done was dress as per their characters! Now for the story, if there is one at all! A girl (Mink) in boots and a trench coat, beneath which she's wearing a blood-stained dress is on the run. In the wash room of a supermarket, she also discovers bundles of currency notes in her coat pocket. She reaches a hotel and books a room in it. She changes into a fresh pair of clothes. Now where did those clothes come from? Don't worry, this is just the beginning. There are lots of unanswered questions as the film progresses. She has another problem. She can't seem to remember who she is or where she's come from. She goes to a hospital to meet a psychiatrist. A man, Dr. Oberoi (Milind Soman) lands up in hospital and claims to be her husband. He even shows an album filled with pictures of the two of them together. Now how did he trace her to this hospital! She goes home with him and finds everything strange around her. She also suspects something fishy going on around her. In drops the friendly neighbour, Anju (a trim and toned down Yukta Mookhey). Her husband (Sameer Dharmadhikari), is supposed to be Mink's close friend and he's missing since two months. We are given enough reason to suspect Dr. Oberoi of foul play as it seems like Dr. Oberoi and Anju are having an affair. But they aren't! Anju is just a good natured soul who wants to help him in his troubled times. Anju's husband suddenly returns home one day after everyone had given up on his homecoming. He's the silent observer and doesn't make any major contribution to the story. But what was that blood on Mink's dress? She tries to figure that out and assumes her husband to be involved till it dawns on her one day that her husband is innocent. By now the audience is as confused as she is. There's a twist in the tale when Mink's look-alike breaks into the scene to add to the confusion. She's her twin sister, a bad character who's into drugs, men, and nightclubs. One of the sisters is accidentally killed. If you still want to sit through the film, try figuring out which one! The film moves back and forth between a love story and a thriller. Just when you think it's a love story with an all's well that ends well kind of situation, there's a surprise in store. Oh, we forgot to mention a skimpily clad girl who comes into Mink's house to look after her. So the film gives you a fair share of laughs. There are a couple of unwanted songs. Cinematography is okay. The performances are strictly okay. Milind Soman's expression throughout the film suggests that he's not the good-two-shoes that he's playing. To give credit to the director, there are a few well shot scenes; the scene in the morgue towards the climax is one. But with the sort of cast and the shoddy story line, we wonder if the film will run for even a day! ** (Two stars) *poor; **average; ***good; ****very good; *****excellent   close   Print this Article http://www.bollyvista.com   http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/29/6958
