After Chachi 420 it8217;s now time for Miss 420. This film was actually made half a decade ago, when Baba Sehgal was still riding high on the success of Thanda Thanda Pani and Sheeba was still being offered films.

Anyway, this much-delayed musical thriller8217; is about Miss 420 Sheeba, a young recruit in the Intelligence department, in Goa, who is assigned the all-important task of trapping spies leaking defence secrets.

Her bosses are Khan Tinnu Anand and Col Kapoor Shakti Kapoor in that order. Miss 4208216;s first assignment is to escort a van carrying mysterious but top-level secrets. Naturally, they are waylaid by the villainous, D K Mohan Joshi and his gang Mahesh Anand, Anant Mahadevan and Ameeta Nangia. In the ensuing scuffle Miss 420 is presumed dead.

A similar-looking girl is spotted on the shores of Mumbai by Vicky and Varun Baba Sehgal and Jeet Upendra who are two young, fun-loving, balding college students. Vicky falls in love with her. After much cooing and crooning, she accepts his advances. Miss 420 number two is called Anamika Sheeba. Her brother, Arvind Asif Sheikh, is a crime reporter working for the Goa Gomantak Times. He catches DK doing dastardly acts and is killed in a bad guys versus good guy chase.

When Anamika arrives in Goa and finds her brother missing, she and Vicky comb the beaches. No luck! Meanwhile, Jony and Waqar Mushtaq Khan and Aroon Bakshi, two detectives, report that Miss 420 is alive. Her ex-bosses are in a tizzy.

Now begins the actual story. The villains need Arvind8217;s roll of film. Arvind is not actually dead, he had just lost his memory. The Intelligence is looking for their Mae West. And no one knows who the real Miss 420 is. In the end, apparently, this film falls into place 8212; after three hours.

This is the story of a person who is the victim of circumstance and ends up a criminal in the eyes of the law. A new idea, surely. Gautam Jackie Shroff is a happy-go-lucky man from a middle-class family, living comfortably with his father Pran, mother Bindu and sister Suman Shamim.

One day, Gautam goes to his sister8217;s college and comes across Sameer Sanjay, the spoilt brat of Lalaseth Paresh Rawal. Sameer whiles away his hours by molesting young girls in the college. He misbehaves with Gita Shilpa Shirodkar, who is Suman8217;s close friend. Gautam can8217;t digest this and thrashes Sameer to pulp.

Being the son of a powerful man, Sameer finds it difficult to swallow this insult. And even the Lala thirsts for Gautam8217;s blood. And a bitter blood feud begins.In the battle, Gautam loses his sister and parents. But he gains a lover in the fullsome form of Gita. After much dhishum dhishum and a few casualties, the world goes back to normal. Good triumphs over evil, wrongs are righted and The End8217; comes across the silver screen. In Bollywood, dawn breaks over another cliched story.
