Your eyesight alone does not always help your vision
What worked:
It's a fine thriller, with a good screenplay and direction. Sushmita Sen performed very well in the movie, and so did the supporting actors Jackie and Sushant. Unlike many female lead movies, Sushmita was well balanced in her character; no unnecessary ruthlessness or mean behaviors.
What did not work:
I think the movie could have been better if it was produced today. The technical aspect of the movie is weak; it has weak camera work and sound mixing.
Final verdict: recommended
Entertaining film
Underrated film..good one....suspense and thriller movie...but expected Susmita Sen to be better more
Rip off
This film is a rip off of Seven, right down to the surprise intro of the villain.
However, that doesn't make it a bad movie. In fact, amid all the trash that Bollywood just unleashed, this is a pretty interesting Indianized version of Seven. Instead of the sins, they have put in a different sort of a motive, which is actually well thought out and laid out.
Acting is pretty good, especially of Sushmita Sen. So is the direction and editing.
On the whole, I would recommend it, as it is a good thriller and it does not lose its thread and sink into melodrama, as how Hindi thriller movies usually do.

If you haven't seen this movie yet, it's about TIME you do!
Though this movie is a lot like another English (Hollywood) movie, for Bollywood cinemas, it's an excellent improvement on their usual stock. Excellent direction & use of lighting.
No love-interest & not much deviation from the plot keeps the viewer at the edge of the seat, right till the end of the movie.
All in all, an excellent movie I recommend to everyone.
