Golddigger Tanushree ensnares and marries rich biz kid Rahul. Then she starts doing the ol8217; heave-ho with Jimmy. So she8217;s a two-timing little so-and-so, right? Well, things are not quite simple in Raqeeb. Turns out she8217;s a three-timer, and things get messier still, leading to green-eyed lovers, loaded guns, and dead bodies which come back from the grave.

The basic premise, to bump off a husband and make it look like a perfect murder, is not new. But nothing else is either. Not the islands of Thailand, where a lot of the movie has been shot. Not Tanushree and her cleavage, bared in bed, and outside. Not Jimmy and his coloured locks, and his jealous rants. Not Rahul, who doesn8217;t quite know whether he is coming or going. Only Sharman stands his ground somewhat, but even he can8217;t fight a script which tells you what will happen miles before it does. Lethal in any movie; death in a whodunit.
