the visuals are eyecatchy. A.R. rahmans music is good though they are not new( most of the songs were already composed for a tamil film - 'Rhythm').
Sunny Deols role is written for him. Suniel shetty plays his usual mechanic role. Sohail and John Abraham the brothers of Sunny and Suniel respectively who fall for the same girl, Nauheed Cyrussi which paves the way for conflict between the elder brothers.
This plot could have made an interesting script, but the director falters. He settles for form than content. -

Three hours have never seemed so long
Watching this disaster will make one feel like time has stood still. Three hours have never seemed so long. We wonder what Choreographer-turned-writer-director Ahmed Khan had in mind while making this film! He takes his own time to introduce his five main characters that one can't help feeling. Tasteless Art direction (was there any really?) and the garish clothes all add to the drudgery of watching the film.
If 'Lakeer' suggests that it's a film based on Indo-Pak relationships then you're wrong. Sunny Deol plays Arjun Rana, a don with a conscience, and is very popular with people as well as with the police commissioner. He is firmly attached to his foster brother Karan (Sohail Khan), whose father, Baba, had supported him as an orphan and initiated into the mafia.
If you are expecting an underworld film, then you are wrong again. The film is about relationships and how circumstances change when relationships cross the forbidden lines. So the title, 'Lakeer'
The performances are just about okay. But one can't blame the actors. It's impossible for an actor to do justice to such roles with badly etched-out characters although Sunny does keep you interested in some portions. Suniel is looking cool. That's about it. Sohail Khan is wooden. Probably that's his idea of underplaying and looking cool. John Abraham should stick to the 'Jism' sort of roles. Nauheed Cyrusi shows a slight improvement as compared to her previous films.
Abbas Ali Moghul's action scenes are superb. Otherwise it is one more film that will find a place for itself in the list of disasters of 2004! -
