Another movie that came in with a lot of hype and promotions. Was it worth it ? Yes and No.
The movie is set in Goa and how drugs are taking over the place, a tough cop is called in to clean up the mess. How he goes about doing it - against all odds is what the movie is all about. The script is ok - a couple of twists are nice and save the movie from going the predictable way.
Performances - Ab jr plays the cop again - a corrupt turned honest cop. Though he looks like a cop, he can't carry off the role completely because of his physique and body language and add to the persona the cop starts rapping when the action just starts !
Bipasha Basu is wasted in a small role - she plays a moll to Aditya Panscholi's villian who does a good job but he has been doing this a lot in his career.
Pratiek has a voice thats squeaky and doesn't get him any brownie points but in the context of the movie it works nicely.
Rana Dugubatti makes his debut in Bollywood and it shows - he looks nervous in places and his dialogue delivery isn't the best.
The music is just about tolerable which is a bad thing since the premise had a lot of potential to give us some nice music but Pritam fails here. The Dum Maro Dum song actually looks much much better on screen than on TV but with the kind of lyrics it has - the original song has been murdered.
The actual star of the movie is the cinematographer - the movie is shot beautifully totally making Goa look the way it is - super stuff.
Verdict - 2.5/5. You could watch it one time.
