Story:

A beaten and worn out tale, the film begins with the Amaan (Adhvik) who is given a task by the police commissioner (Vibha Chibbar), he needs to get inside the underworld as a sleeper into the gang of the dreaded and powerful RD (Sumeet). The idea is to put an end to all the mayhem created by RD and his gang and added to that Amaan has his own personal scores to settle with the mafia. There are characters like Iya (Sakshi), Ghoonga (Upyendra Limaye), his wife (Amruta Subhash) and others. Amaan slowly starts finding his way up the ladder in the underworld hierarchy and slowly gains the confidence of RD and his key henchmen. Once he gets to the established position, Amaan starts bumping off the baddies one after the other and as expected the news reaches RD. Soon, a showdown happens and is Amaan successful in his mission forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director needs no rating as he is by far the best in the show business and though his presentation was good, the narration has turned out to be a disaster. The script was a mess, the screenplay was sensible, dialogues were dull, music was average, camera was good, editing was numb, the art and locations were natural and scenic. Adhvik has surely come across with some good performance and he fits the bill of the perfect Varma find but then he needs to work on his voice modulation a little more. Sakshi was pretty and though she looked soft she did her best to suit the tough role. Sumeet was excellent in his performance and so was Vibha who carried out the role of a cop perfectly. The real show stealer despite all the drawbacks was Prasad Purandare who came up with an exceptional performance. Amruta was boisterous and theatrical, Upyendra was effective. The others did their bit and contributed whatever they could to make things better.

Conclusion:

This is definitely not a Varma sitting with his writers and devising the film, though the technical aspects are truly good it is the other aspects which were a complete let down. The first one hour of the film was nice and took off with good momentum but slowly the graph started dipping before the interval. Things went from bad to worse in the second half and even before one could realize, the climax went through and the film ended. The story was utter disaster and did not have anything to offer, since the backdrop was gangsters and underworld, the option of novelty was limited but since Varma was at the helm, expectations were high which came down falling on the ground like a pack of cards.

verdict : Not a Varma recipe!! Disappointing!!!
