Raj Kumar Santoshi shows us glimpses of his imitable talent to assemble a cast of top stars, cobbling up an effete script, shooting on foreign soil and then dishing out generous dollops of tripe.
Shekhar Bhatia is a cook who loves his family dearly, particularly his wayward younger brother Aryan (Aryeman). When Shekhar is not managing his catering business or fending off marriage proposals, he is forever extricating Aryan out of one or the other scrapes. Still, he has the time to fall in love with a charming doctor Kavitha (Bhumika Chawla) and gets married to her.
Tragedy comes calling even before the henna on the bride's hands disappears when Shekhar is killed by crime lord Viren Sahi (Amitabh Bachchan) while out looking for his brother Aryan.
An enraged Aryan wants revenge on Viren Sahi. So, he hatches a plot to kidnap Viren Sahi's entire family so as to draw the thug into the open.
The storytelling is often imbalanced. Santoshi keeps jumping into a beehive of activities. This time he doesn't always emerge with a coherently designed pastiche of anger and catharsis. And though Abbas Ali Moghal's stunts are riveting they lack the electric immediacy of what we have seen before.
Bad music makes this bad movie terrible
