Story:

A spineless tale, the story begins on the backdrop of Delhi and here lives a couple comprising of Vikram (Arbaaz Khan) and his beautiful wife Maya (Raima Sen) along with their beautiful daughter Priya (Ekta Kumari Singh). However, life is not as rosy as it looks as Vikram is constantly complaining about Maya and much to her horror, she discovers one day that he has been having an affair with another woman. That's when Maya realizes how she has been snubbed at many points through her marriage and so much so that her highly talented singing ability also goes for a toss. One day, Maya gets into a talk with her neighbour Mrs Mathur (Suhasini Mulay) and she cooks up a story of a fantasy man Jai (Randeep Hooda). The truth is Jai has been coming in her dreams since quite a while and with her new found fantasy, Maya begins to unravel her dream of becoming a singer once again. In this process, she is accompanied by a young band (Neil Bhoopalam, Juhi Pandey). Whether Maya is able to fulfill her dream and what happens to Jai forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come up with a tasteless plot and equally bad was the treatment and its narration. The script was written poorly with many loose ends and the screenplay was not upto the mark. The dialogues were dull, the music was nothing but noise and the only relief from all this is some tolerable camerawork. Editing was out of order, the art department was alright. Coming to the cast, Arbaaz Khan was already in a sinking ship so he just had to ride with the wave, Raima Sen did her best to salvage her role and presence but it was not very helpful. Randeep Hooda was handsome but his role was a bit ridiculous. Suhasini was mature, Neil Bhoopalam was a show stealer, Anjan Srivastav was grossly under utilised.  The others need no mention here.

Conclusion:

The film has turned out to be a major ruckus along with a tasteless plot and a fantasy that is too good to be believable. While the first half goes about with the sentimental side and the emotional side, it is the second half where things go terribly wrong. The film will flat at the box office in no time and the director must be blamed for coming up with a rather childish tale. One really wonders what came over the efficient cast of Arbaaz Khan, Raima Sen who took up this script. It is about time the film makers realize that such movies don't run and this will be a good dud at the box office.
