CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

suite92 We start out with a mistaken address and identity. Raj in #30 is looking for a housekeeper; Ram in #13 is looking for a legal secretary. Priya is looking for a secretary position at a legal office. She goes to #30 by mistake. "I don't consider any job too small" has unexpected consequences. Her opposite number (the housekeeper) lands the job as legal secretary. How long can these misunderstandings last?Not very long; both Ram and Raj figure it out. Ram comes over to get some borrowed law books; his comments let Priya figure it out quickly. Love at first sight is the diagnosis; they marry and are doing well. Priya is soon expecting. Raj gets a promotion and buys a bungalow. At the announcement of his promotion, Raj gets a bad surprise. The Big Boss' wife is Sonia, his one-time girlfriend, who is also the new managing director of his company. She announces Raj's promotion; not to CEO but to seat on the Board of Directors. The party that evening sets the stage for disasters to come.The flashback description of the early days of Raj and Sonia's relationship (before they broke up) was nothing short of beautifully done, lovely and evocative. Then she leaves him to pursue Ranjit Roy. The transition is difficult. Raj thought they had something; clearly Sonia did not. Her career and ambition are everything to her.Why she is angry at Raj after she marries the big boss Ranjit Roy is hard to see. She arranges a private meeting, comes on to him; he resists, but not hard enough. Worse yet, he rejects her before anything happens. Then she brings charges of sexual impropriety against him with her husband. The next day Ranjit Roy demands he resign; that's just the beginning. Raj does not resign; he goes to the office and works. Harsher methods are brought to bear against him, including legal charges.The ferocity of Sonia's attack is met by the strength of Priya's defensive energies and the loyalty of his defense team and friends. Of course, there also turns out to be business reasons driving this mess, plus dirty tricks.Who comes out the better in this horrible waste of resources, time, money, and reputation?-------Scores--------Cinematography: 10/10 Excellent camera work and 2.35 aspect ratio.Sound: 10/10 Delightful music and singing. No problems with conversational voice.Acting: 8/10 Good.Screenplay: 9/10 Well done adaptation.Musical Numbers: 10/10 Beautiful, energetic, enjoyable. The first number is about being in a quagmire, and sailing one's heart in a quagmire. Yikes! Sets the tone for the rest of the contentious script. The second, third, and fourth numbers continue the high quality.

long-ford This film is long but quite enjoyable. There is perhaps one twist too many and some needless shenanigans towards the end could have been avoided. Still, its fairly absorbing. Priyanka excels as the sexy vamp and burns up the screen with her presence. Kareena is saddled with the straight role but does well. Paresh Rawal steals the show as an adept lawyer. Akshay Kumar is alright although he essentially plays the victim in the film. The plot is a variant on the Hollywood thriller Disclosure, but there's a lot of Indian spice including some catchy songs. Watchable.Overall 6/10

ram-008 Aitraaz Caught this movie on DVD last night. I've got only 2 words... WATCH IT!!! Priyanka Chopra has really established herself in this Abbas Mustan flick. Albeit, this movie is not in the same league as some of the class efforts from this director duo, it keeps the viewers plugged in through the end (partially due to Priyanka of course!) Why does Kariena always become the scapegoat in Bollywood movies where ravishing beauties play cameo roles. Then it was Ajnabee, now it is Aitraaz, there it was Bips, here it is Pri.The court scenes were drawn out a little bit and were a bit unrealistic and crude, but other than that, it was a really cool flick.... it is Priyanka all the way! She has done the romantic, modelling and vengeful scenes with passionate energy and great elegance, which should get her the filmfare for the best supporting artist (Rani will give her a tough fight thanks to the Yas Raj rigging factor.. no offense to Rani here). She not only clobbered Kariena, but even sidelined Akshay Kumar. She might be a serious contender to Bipasha if she keeps this tempo going.Paresh Rawal's court performance reminded me of his role in Akele Hum Akele Tum, while Annu Kapoor has done a sufficient job. The comedy track has been understandably toned down and the music was mediocre but was compensated for by the superb locations, picturization, cinematography, and costumes.The climax was good.. although it was no big riddle, it was pretty realistic. I shall say no more.Verdict: As a Priyanka and Abbas-Mustan Fan, I loved this movie. It is quite different and stylish. This is worth watching!

AishFan Abbas-Mustan live up to their expectations once again! For the first time, Bollywood sees such a shocking role reversal. Priyanka does an extraordinary job and is easily the best part of this film. She plays her role of an excessively aggressive lady very convincingly with passion. Supposedly the supporting actress, she easily overshadows her co-stars. Akshay, nonetheless, also gave a great performance and proves he can play any role. Kareena was slightly disappointing, especially in comparison with her past performances and with Priyanka. However, the excellent script does not let this be very noticeable. Songs are not bad. My favorites are Yeh Dil Tumpe Aa Gaya and I Want to Make Love to You.
