First 30 minutes are a good attempt to cover the script but turned senseless. Then it progresses in thrilling way. Govinda in negative role is unexpected but still convincing. He is the show stealer who excelled as a decent citizen believing in constitutional policies on one hand and also as the revengeful cum obsessive lover turned psycho on the other hand. What an act !

See the film for Govinda and his deliverance of performances. His performance as the speaker in his enemies condolence day, wearing a white kurta is treat to watch. Karishma is also a character, reflecting the women of manly traits, who depicts both anger ridden and aggressiveness through various ups and downs in series of events. Tabu depicts a decent housewife who accepts her husband as husband irrespective of his immoral traits. The villain is righfully depicted, a passion motivated guy who can lie to society even to achieve his passionate desires. The plot is framed as a revenge story with a few twists of romantic tales. The comic scenes also feel unnecessary. It could have a great thriller if the spicy themes were eradicated from the film, rather focusing highly on realistic appeals. The climax is also justified, where the hero leaves his lover and finally the world for better, on fullfillment of his only purpose of living. A heart breaking ending but still haunting as a fearsome person.

The presentation is fast, lacks the mindfulness but still perfect in showcasing the psychotic cum inhumane episodes in the film. Though the film is a forerunner of Vadh but couldn't reach the total thrilling set up of Vadh as a thriller. Summing it was average in presenting the story. The story seems clear and understandable, actually due to Govinda. He alone tried to keep the spirit of the movie through his act. A 32/100 for him only. The ratings are felt kind of justified as a whole.
