Yakeen was a really good movie made, it had the tension, suspense and thrilling aspect to any movie but climax of the film was made too obvious. It was like you knew what the suspense was. A bit of a let down but Priyanka copra and Arjun Rampal look good on screen together again. The songs were good, very well picturised. however one can say that after Aitraaz, Priyanka chopra is doing movies that are different but not really successful. I guess its all about loving and losing someone. The performances were good, story was a bit weak but very well made overall. It is worth a watch on DVD and well done to the two leading stars for making a good movie.

Yakeen is About a Handsome Charming Funloving Hotel Club Singer Kabir Malhotra (Sudhanshu Pandey) Who Looses His Own Face, Memory & Identity in a Fatal Car Accident & Now is Forced To Live The Life Of An Other Man Nikhil Oberoi (Arjun Rampal), As Kabir Has Memory Loss Too So Now Kabir's Face & His Identity Is Forcibly Turned Into Nikhil By The Evil Simar (Priyanka Chopra) Who Destroyed Kabir's Identity For Her Own Financial & Obsessional Benifits, So Now Nikhil (Originally Kabir) Will Be Able To Find Out His Original Identity After Getting Shattered By The Dirty Minded Simar?.. Yakeen is a Very Good Suspense Crime Thriller With Beautiful Songs (Especially Chehra Tera Is The Best Mindblowing Number Of The Film), As Of The Performances..Priyanka Chopra is Nice as The Menacing Vampish Culprit, Arjun Rampal is Good & Gives a Sincere Performance, But The Real Soul Of The Movie Is The Handsome Charming Ravishing Gorgeous Sudhanshu Pandey Who Delivers The Superb First-Rate Best Performance Than Them All Handling His Part With Efficacy.. At The End Of The Note..I Wanna Give My Important Verdict To Yakeen..Is That Why The Hell They Put Arjun Rampal's Voice On Sudhanshu Pandey, Sudhanshu's Real Own Voice Is Thousand Times Better Than Arjun's Voice, Sudhanshu's Own Voice Is Very Awesome Enchanting Honey Sweet Sharp High Clear Open & Velvety Baritone (Sudhanshu Is a Singer Also Of A Band Of Boys) & As About Arjun.. Arjun's Voice Is Yet Husky But Very Low Pitched & Unclear, One Should Never Replace A Superior Voice With An Inferior Voice & I Must Say That Sudhanshu's Own Voice Is Much Superior Than Arjun's Voice & i Was Missing Sudhanshu's Voice Throughout The Film :( :'( , My Final Verdict: Yakeen Would be A Much More Enjoyble Treat If It Would Have Sudhanshu Pandey's Own Superb Enchanting Crystal Clear Baritone Honey Golden Velvet Voice Instead Of Using That Arjun Rampal's Unclear Husky Boring Voice On Him
Yakeen was a romance and thriller. I absolutely loved it because Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra made an awesome and hot couple on-screen.
More than just a handsome face, the lead star of "Yakeen", Arjun Rampal, has always been a very versatile actor. He played the obsessed man in "Moksha", a blind thief in "Aakhen", a manipulative con man in "Pyaar, Ishq Aur Mohabbat" and had amazing comedic timing in "Tehzeeb". He has also proved that he could play the rough-cut action hero in movies like "Elaan" and "Asambhav" and could be the pretty boy toy as well in movies like "Dil Hai Tumhara" and "Dil Ka Rishta".
In "Yakeen", Arjun proves exactly why he's one of the most talented actors to come out of Bollywood in recent times. His character, Nikhil, is one of many shades; an obsessed lover who wishes to destroy the man who touches his wife, a lost man desperately trying to piece his life together, a bad-ass husband who doesn't give a damn about anything but his business and an angry individual who believes the whole world is against him. It shows an amazing scope of Arjun's capability and Arjun played each layer of his character to perfection.
The best part about "Yakeen" is that the story kept an even, interesting pace throughout. There are so many twists in the movie that you'll be caught by surprise again and again throughout. Kudos to the filmmakers because even with all the twists, the audience are still able to keep up with the story something that a lot of other Bollywood thrillers fail to do. All loose ends are neatly tied up and the audience won't leave the cinema wondering what the hell happened. (Of course, Hindi moviegoers will also know enough to leave logic at the door when watching.) Not to say that "Yakeen" is without fault though. No. Characters could have been developed better (like Kim Sharma's character for example) and the music score leaves much to be desired (Is it just me or is Sameer, the lyric writer, losing his touch these days?). In all fairness, "Yakeen" isn't SO mind blowing that you'll leave the cinema awe-struck. But what it IS, is a solid piece of storytelling that deserves a watch.

Yakeen begins with an accident. Arjun Rampal plays a business tycoon Nikhil, and Priyanka Chopra plays his wife Simar. The husband and wife meet with an accident after their car falls off a cliff. While Simar comes out of the accident with minor injuries, Nikhil is hospitalized. He loses his memory.
I saw Arjun Rampal's movie after a few years, and i gotta admit.. his acting is way better than how he was before, i think the acting was Real good from all the actors in this movie. Whoever wrote this movie..did a great job, i just couldn't wait to see who was behind this whole mystery that Nikhil was trying to solve. I kept creaming.... WHO IS IT ? (you'll be surprised in the end) I recommend this if you wanna see a Indian mystery/suspense movie. But i think that the ending should have been a LOT more dramatic. For me its a 7.5/10

I have watched this movie when i was a kid, and thought it was going to be a memorable suspense thriller in coming lane. But sadly it failed to connect with the audience in future. This movie requires some promotion now, as people like to watch good movie like 'gone girl'.
