This film starts off right away (my sister and I started watching it together and she went to the kitchen for 5 minutes and swore that I had fast forwarded it when she returned -- I hadn't and a quick rewind proved that) if you blink you might miss an important clue.
But all that said, the greatness of the film is ruined by pointless banal songs and lackluster dance numbers. Bollywood should learn that not every genre of their films should include songs. Everything kind of starts to go downhill from the introduction of the first song and the movie itself becomes a predictable variation of Hollywood's thriller 'The Taking of Pelham 123'. The suspense is sucked out of the entire film by the addition of pointless scenes, especially the ones including Sagarika Ghatge(Chak de India) who is supposed to be a lawyer but ends up playing to role of detective. Sunny Deol, Udita Goswami and Rituparna Sen Gupta co-star but the film belongs to Arjun Rampal whose acting seems to have truly improved these days.
