Overview : Lush green locations and melodious music , the director tried to recreate the 90's film , a romantic thriller but has fallen flat .The film marks the debut of model Krishna Chaturvedi and Ruhi Singh who was last seen in Calendar Girls .
Story Line : The story revolves round Rhea (Ruhi Singh ) , spoilt daughter of MLA Sushil (Chetan Pandit ) , Rhea is studying in South Africa and loves her freedom and independence so much that she pleads her father for her to stay all by herself instead of the hostel , her father who is campaigning for elections with much pleading from his daughter agrees and arranges for her to stay in a quaint cottage , but her freedom is short , her father wins the election and becomes the Prime Minister of India , after the announcement , Rhea's father appoints a security agency to protect Rhea , However the agents played by Lisa Ray (Naina ) and Javed Jaffery (Amitabh ) , who also happened to be divorced couple , Rhea is frustrated by all the surveillance as her freedom is totally , in frustration she decides to sneak out the security and she runs away . However as soon as she runs 2 militants run after her to kidnap her , to her rescue comes Aryan ( Krishna Chaturvedi ) , she instantly falls in love with him , but Krishna is on a secret mission , from thereon roller coaster ride starts , there are many chase and escape scenes between the security agency and Rhea and Aryan . What happens next is for the audience to watch also what is the secret mission of Aryan and what is his real identity .
Performances : Ruhi Singh is ok though we can still find traces of her role in Calendar Girls ,but her expressions are plastic , however Krishna Chaturvedi has surprised everyone by giving good expressions in the movie being a popular model who have to have a straight expressions , but in the movie he has played his role perfectly , Special mention is Performance of Javed Jaffery who has managed to give the film thrills and a personal touch of humour that is noteworthy . Lisa Ray who has returned to screen after a long time , has done an average job . Others have played their roles as per their characters .
Verdict : The film has been shot in South Africa , it has been shot at breath taking locations , the cinematography of the movie is excellent , but alas the script and screenplay fails to create an impact , though its a love story but it lacks depth , there are many loose ends in the movie .
Though the story is good and it is inspired by English Movie Chasing Liberty , it could have done better if screenplay was could .
Final Words : If you have nothing to do on weekend then only go for it , watch it only for sheer beauty of South Africa .
Ratings : 2.5*/5*
