Neil Menon (Abhiskhek Bachan) is a night club owner and
in trouble with the mafia in Istanbul, Turkey. Vikram
Kapoor (Jimmy Sherghill) plays the film star in the movie,
is guilty of killing a girl in an accident. O.P. Ramsay (Boman
Irani) is a corrupt politician who runs all the wrong
businesses in Thailand and Tisha Khanna (Shahana Goswami)
is an alcoholic reporter whose professional career is
leading to nowhere.
All of these four protagonists are in trouble and as Kabir
Malhotra promises a solution to their problems they accept
the invitation to visit his island in Greece on a
particular date.
They don't know each other and they do not know him...
Kabir Malhotra.
By the next morning they will wish they had never come.
Everyone is a Suspect, and every suspect has a motive.
It's not over till its over.
Who is the murderer and what was his/her intention forms
the twist in the climax?
Game is a whodunit tale spanning 5 international cities.
It is a slick edge-of-the-seat crime thriller with twists
and turns involving love, revenge, retribution and good
old-fashioned murder.
Cinematographer Katrhik Vijay has beautifully captured the
enchanting beauty sea sides of Samos in Greece, and the
locales of Bangkok, Turkey, London and India.
We have high production values and some unexpected twists
and turns in the story. Abhishek is just okay as a
debonair city slicker. Kangana Ranaut and Jimmy Shergill
are over the top. Boman Irani and Anupam Kher are
excellent. Shahana Goswami is brilliant, even as the
debutante Sarah Jane Dias is there in well choreographed
dance sequences. It is a matter of regret, notwithstanding
the availability of high budget and the talented cast,
Game is just an average thriller.
