Fox

Rating: *

A successful Mumbai lawyer has an attack of conscience,and leaves everything behind,to go slumming in Goa. A chance encounter with a mysterious writer,who pops it,having bequeathed him an unpublished book,thrusts him into peril.

‘Fox’ is an unlikely name for a Bollywood thriller,and for a spell,it is intriguing enough. The lawyer (Arjun) is in a jam,from which only a cop (Sunny) can save him. It’s to do with the book,which has details of several murders,the kind only a killer will know. Shades of ‘Basic Instinct’,and other Hollywood thrillers.

After a sizable gap,Sunny Deol is back,but is not likely to thank ‘Fox’,which gives him an entry just before half-time,and not much to do. Arjun wears his hair long,and drives a Merc. Sagarika is the good girl,Udita the bad one. And it’s all empty.
