I didn't know what to make of it at first. The ending really threw me off but let's not get into that yet. That and I heard a really nasty rumour that the actors in the film with the exception of Emran Hashmi actually paid the film-makers to star in the film. Yikes! Well then, Tanurshee Dutta plays a sexy and sweet college girl named Sneha whom most guys admire but are afraid to approach. Okay, let me give Tanurshee some props for pulling off sexy in this film without looking slutty or stooping to low standards with her dress code. There, and let me also say that when the film first starts, she behaves like a movie-extra who can't act but this was her first film, so give her a break! Her moderate acting chops picks up later on. Cool, so on to the next character played by Sonu Sood. His name is Karan and he's a very close friend and classmate of Sneha. Naturally, he secretly loves her but doesn't have the guts to tell her. Enter Emran Hashmi, who plays Vikram AKA Vicky, the party poster boy type whom everybody knows and loves (despite being a newcomer in town) and he loves them back, especially the girls (whom he can't seem to keep his hands off of). He is a childhood friend of Karan's and enters the film in a scene celebrating some accomplishment by Karan's father who is a rich business tycoon. Upon seeing Sneha at Karan's party, Vicky is smitten and doesn't hide his affections from her. Sneha, who has never gotten such upfront attention from a guy before (usually because they are all afraid of her beauty) slowly begins to allow herself to fall in love with him and eventually they get all hot and heavy. Soon, Sneha loses her virginity to Vicky (prepare yourself for the love scene, especially if you're not used to the way Bollywood does more provocative than Hollywood! AND DO NOT! I REPEAT, DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM WITH YOUR OLD-FASHIONED Indian PARENTS OR ELDERS) and after-wards, weird situations start to arise that show her another side of the boy she fell in love with as she threatens to kill herself in the wake of the madness. Karan comes to the rescue, and after a few blah! blah! blah! scenes, they get engaged but that weird ending I was speaking about earlier comes into play and then you begin to understand why the movie is shot in flashback, as well as why the movie opened with the shot of three gurneys wheeling the three teenagers into the emergency room with another corpse in tow. This film did not do Emran Hashmi any justice acting-wise, Sonu Sood and Tanurshee Dutta are the real stars here, pay-cheque or no pay-cheque!
