Fareb review :
Vikram Bhatt's first commercial success which was an "unlawful" adaptation of the Hollywood hit Unlawful Entry (1992); Fareb was a finely executed thriller with some melodious music and a fresh sexy heroine to pull in the audience.
An evil cop (Milind Gunaji) troubles a young couple (Faraaz- Suman) when he falls for the lady and will do anything to have her...come what may!!
Fareb was fast paced thriller marrying erotica with melody which later became a standard Bhatt template in the 2000s decade. Milind Gunaji showed tremendous promise in a negative role but sadly, his potential remained underutilized in future. Faraaz was all brawn and thats all. As for Suman Ranganathan, she oozed sex appeal and became the biggest crowd puller for Fareb. The audience at New Citylight, Matunga loved the dusky beauty and erupted in loud cheers during her love scenes. So did I.
