If you've watched Kill Bill, there's a good possibility you'll draw comparisons to this movie as well. It's all about revenge and how to get it done with class.
Urmila plays Sarika, a travel executive, living her normal life in Mumbai. Saif Ali Khan turns up one day as Karan, a busy stock market trader. And as we would have it, he falls for Sarika. However, this isn't your average boy-meets-girl fantasy.
Karan turns out to be linked with the underworld, and he drags Sarika with him. She falls for his sweet talk and ends up behind bars for aiding a criminal. Now Sarika faces the hard life, but that soon changes when she escapes prison, vowing revenge ready to hunt down Karan and his cohorts.
And hot on their heels is Seema Biswas as the ethereal police officer, setting things right her own way.
Urmila and Saif have given their best, and I must say, director Sriram Raghavan has managed to extract the best of out of his actors. Flawless camera work and classy storytelling match this movie upto, well, Kill Bill itself.
The scenes have been captured with great detail and the usual stunners you expect from a Ram Gopal Varma film are all here.
One negative point is that there are no songs in the movie, except for the title track 'Ek Hasina Thi' playing constantly in the background.
Overall, a good watch and well worth your money. I guess the only thing they missed out here was the first line from Kill Bill - 'Revenge is a dish best served cold.'
