    Thrilling and touching

    This movie had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Not only did the sinister part hold my attention but also the loving devotion which the father had for his daughter. This movie is a must see! This film knocks down the familiar stereotypes which some may have of Indian parents, because we see love and devotion all the way. Also, the actors in this movie did a wonderful job. It's clear that this film was geared towards the father as the main focus, showing how he takes charge and protects his family when the need arises. After watching this movie I couldn't help but run into my father's arms to simply say, "thanks for everything!" Please give this incredible movie a try!

    Excellent

    This was John's Abrahams film, he plays a negative role and plays it really well, i remember watching this movie a couple of years back and i was really impressed with John's acting, he was only a couple of films old and was a model before he went into acting, my god he was good in this film, and i have loved John ever since.

    Hmm Bipasha , her performance was okay but she could have done better, i swear she bores me every time i see her on screen i just watch to change the channel, she does not show any emotion at all, Big B, well he was excellent then again he gives a 100% performance in all of the films that he does, the music was really good as well and i loved the soundtrack, this is a must see film and if you have not seen it go and check it out.

    cheesy but good

    i really enjoyed this movie i don't know how many times i've watched it but it's truly something for Vikram Bhatt fans Amitabh Bhachan's acting is great Robin Bhatt's screenplay is cheesy but i've seen that in his other movies and i appreciate him his abilities as a scriptwriter overall this movie can teach you about your relationships with your father or your parents it has some similarities with Inteha but it's definitely a different story and when you watch it you'll enjoy it i know i did 4/5 is the rating of this movie i give it really rocked songs were really great Udit Narayan's voice is beautiful along with others highly enjoyable movie

    Not bad at all

    Not sure if it was worth that poor a box office reception

    Slick thriller

    This was a slick thriller. Amitabh, of course, gave another performance worthy of applause. Bipasha perfectly suited and portrayed her role of a rebellious daughter. John was a convincing psycho. The trap scene and the climax were excellently shot and were edge-of-the-seat. Amitabh and John's confrontation scenes were well shot. Songs were really nice. The movie was slightly reminiscent of the recent flick, Inteha. The only thing that didn't make sense was why Bipasha was falling head-over-heels for John when he's obviously abusive towards her.

      When Aryan sees Ria for the first time, Aryan takes off his helmet and throws it, then gets off his bike. We not only see him throw it, we also hear it bouncing around. Right away he begins walking towards Ria. Later on in the same scene, when he goes up to Ria, his helmet has reappeared tucked under his arm.
