The movie focuses on 3 individuals - Saheb, his wife Madhavi (Biwi) and a young man Babloo (Gangster) who has come to work with Saheb to eliminate him.
Saheb is a much respected man though he is broke and has to depend on the Queen for money. Saheb has his flings with another Mistress, Mahuva and the Biwi has fits of rage regularly, due to the neglect from her husband.
Babloo is sent by Gainda Singh to finish off Saheb. Gainda and Saheb have a lot of conflicts of interest due to their business dealings. Babloo becomes close to Biwi and they have a physical relationship as well. All this happens while Saheb is busy with Mahuva.
Babloo wants to overthrow Saheb and become the king and have Madhavi all to himself. In the end, one by one all the players get eliminated. It is an engaging drama with betrayal and one upmanship as the core.
Hits
- Randeep Hooda is menacing and very youthful as Babloo. He is wicked and full of energy. The top highlight of the film.
- Mahie Gill seduces and is damn hot as the Biwi. Her fits of rage are also well enacted.
- Jimmy Shergill as Saheb is cool, cunning and calculating. His makeover is also royal.
- The BG score has the Arabic touch and gels with this human drama.
- The other characters like Kanhaiya (Saheb's man shadow) and Suman (Kanhaiya's daughter and Babloo's secret admirer) also have solid parts.
VERDICT
Intense and engaging on the lines of Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Omkara'. Has some brilliant acting as well.
