Having previously appeared together in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Aamir Khan and Deepak Tijori reunite for this hamfisted mix of raucous boxing action and cornball romance. Director Vikram Bhatt makes imposing use of the urban settings, but this Bollywood variation on those Marlon Brando classics, The Wild One and On the Waterfront, suffers from a lack of focus. Khan plays the one-time contender-turned-street hood, whose love for biker chick Rani Mukherji is only matched by his loathing of shifty Sharat Saxena. But while the boxing bouts are pretty ferocious, neither the melodrama nor the musical interludes have much to recommend them.
What a loads of b*****ks. Amir Khan should have thought twice before doing this film. He really doesn't suit the role as a tough guy... somethings are just not meant to be. Even if Superman had had the amount of thumping Amir Khan had, before he started to hit the villian back, Superman would have looked like chewed up straw.. but no, not our Amir Khan... Sometimes I wonder why do they spoil a good film by adding such silly nonsense.
Anyway, you won't recognise Rani Mukerjee's well known husky and sexy voice as this film was made before she either had an op. or discovered her hidden talent. That can probably become the only reason to watch this film.
Verdict: Watch it if you are still 12 or 13 (in the head)
It is a good film, fun and enjoyable with music
