With a ridiculous title like that, you really should not be expecting much from this pretty dire flick which has no idea what it wants to be, a love story, a action flick, a lost and found or simply, a run of the mill revenge movie. All you need is an IQ of 5 and a whole load of patience to sit this one out.

Suraj (Sunny Deol) bashes his way through the local goondas with the help of his leather belt, enough to fell the mighty swords and hockey sticks being against him..then walks back home and finds damsel with flowing tresses banging away on the piano. So who said love at first sight no longer exists. Sapna (Shilpa Shetty) is an old family friend of the family who has come to stay with them for a while. At dinner it transpires that poor ol Suraj is an adopted child and that he was rejected by his mother when he was young and no one knows why. Let there be no doubt, this is the burden of truth!!!!

Drunken and lost in his memories of his house, he dreams of “Sapna” but you know its another one of those, love them but cant tell them scenanrios...and predictability gets a nod with the arrival of Raja (Sunil Shetty), a bumbling millionaire who insists on calling Suraj Bare bhaiyya...So it comes as no surprise that he not only “loves” Sapna but he is also the younger brother of the rejected Suraj!

So what’s the mystery? Why was Suraj rejected. It transpires that his beloved mother (Kiron Kher) was raped by the vile Yograj (Ashutosh Rana) and Suraj was the product of that rape. Hence, every time she saw his face, she felt repulsed and hence, he was given away to be adopted by some one else.

Now starts the revenge theme...Suraj and Raja out to avenge their mother’s rape and Suraj to avenge his lost childhood. Sounds more interesting than it is and one has to be thankful for modern technology and the fats forward button on your dvds.

Harry Baweja makes a hotch potch of what is simply a preposterous plot. Sunny Deol is wasted in yet another pathetic film. Yet it is his film and he grabs most of the screen footage. But there is nothing dynamic here..just the same old sunny deol formula. Yawn. Shilpa Shetty is just devoid of any charm that its difficult to ever like her in a film...I shall try. Sunil Shetty most definitely gets to take a back seat role here and I wonder why all the hoo haa about getting a raw deal in awara paagal deewana where he had a much better role and why not something like this where he is almost incidental.

Music is dire. Nothing really makes this film really worthy of redemption. A must in the avoid stakes.
