The story begins in the heart of Budapest. The Indian Defence minister (Amol Palekar) is on a routine foreign visit. He reveals the true details of his diplomatic trip to his head of Security Manu Verma by informing him about the floppy which has valuable information that could affect the very destiny of the nation.

On the other hand Intelligence sources have revealed to Manu Verma that a lone assassin long feared for his ruthlessness has been paid to eliminate the Defence minister. The shadowy figure is called Raguhvan, Manu Verma reaches the Indian Defence Minister just moments too late to save him and finds the statesman in a pool of blood Raguhvan has struck and vanished into thin air.

Started of really well with a scene in Budapest. Seemed to be a very good film about a hitman and a cop. It still was a great film but the story changes too much. Manoj Bajpal is a complete psycho and would give Gary Oldman a run for his money and sort of posesses AB`s body when AB kills him. The plot is very different to your conventional Bollywood movie. The acting is fantastic throughout. A major problem i thought was the lack of humour in the film. Its a very dark and supernatural thriller but still some sort of black humour is expected. The action little and so fast its confusing.

The picture is quite poor and very dark for a recently developed movie. The sound is quite good and sharp although sometimes some buzzing can be heard.
