rating: *

A writer who’s also an expert hacker turns in a film script to a bunch of dodgy producers. You know they are up to no good because menacing music accompanies their chat with young writer: “Yeh lo,25 hazaar abhi,baaki baad mein.” We know that the baad mein is not going to happen,because many things will intervene: a diamond theft,a series of murders,the writer on the run,helped by girlfriend,with cop in hot pursuit. This type of film with unknown lead actors (Shubh and Sabina) tries to lure you with its better known co-stars,but you quickly realise that those better known co-stars (in this instance,Anupam Kher and Milind Soman) are equally clueless about the proceedings. The writer wakes up in a jungle with deep wounds that are dressed by a mysterious woman we never see again. He is then plonked in the middle of the killings — a swim-suited vixen is shot with a rifle,leaving a bloody spot in a pool,others are shot at closer range,and the last has a knife driven through the skull. The cop,in the shape of a stubbly Milind Soman,who only wears checked shirts,always arrives last. And Anupam Kher gets to preside over a climax where the girlfriend is strapped with a bomb,and the young writer-cum-hacker has to break the code. Or else. Blast.
