It is amazing that this very Bollywood film industry has
produced the likes of Shatrughan Sinha, Mithun
Chakraborty, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgan who were
just written off initially since they did not have
chocolate looks, style nor any filmy godfather to give
them a break.
Well, then this film is the story of an ordinary boy -
Anthony Gonsalves (Nikhil Dwivedi) who has an extra
ordinary dream - to become a film star. As an orphan
child Anthony was picked up from the streets of Mumbai
by the large hearted gangster Sikander (Pavan Malhotra)
who hands this young lad over to father Braganza (Mithun
Chakraborty), who becomes his moral guardian. This
innocent young child is now sheltered from harsh
realities of life.
Fate has it that Anthony becomes a witness to a murder,
and his world is turned upside down. Differences arise
between Sikhanderbhai and himself since it was this
godfather who had picked him up from the streets. An
honest investigating Inspector Khan (Jawed Sheikh) gets
to know about Anthony being a witness to the crime. This
inspector, investigating the murder of a dead colleague,
starts pursuing Anthony and the gang with dogged
determination. Anthony has to choose between his mentor
Sikander on one hand and his dream to become an actor,
on the other, he has to make a moral choice which may
shatter his dreams and even cost him his life.
Nikhil Dwivedi is really an ordinary man and we hope his
extraordinary dreams are fulfilled in Hindi film
Industry. There is an item number performed by the hot
Hrishita Bhatt, and a lovely song featuring Amrita Rao
in her new stunning image. The movie packs in action,
dance, drama, comedy and tragedy. It has a newcomer
Nikhil Dwivedi and otherwise some catchy songs and
visual presentation. Excellent performance by Pawan
Malhotra, and it is him in the second half that the
movie is worth watching.
We have the
vivacious Amrita Rao and fresh Nikhil Dwivedi, it is
Pawan Malhotra who is the most impressive in this film.
