CAST: Abhimanyu, Sakshi Agarwal
DIRECTION: Ram Manohar
RATING: Two stars
Aadhyan (Abhimanyu), a youngster from Japan comes to India in search of his lover Anamika (Sakshi Agarwal). The duo knew each other only through their Facebook interactions. Exhausted by the long aircraft journey, Aadhyan gest badly jet-lagged. Outside the airport, taxi-driver Subramani volunteers to drop him to his destination. As he lands at his aunt’s vacant apartment, the driver tells him that a ghost haunts the place. (Misleading portions). He contacts Anamika and tells her that he has arrived and even as he fixes a place to meet her face-to-face, he falls flat due to jet-lag problem. When he wakes up, it was already late and he rushes to the scheduled place of meet, when an unexpected twist takes place. He gets trapped in the dealings of few anti-social elements, which includes the tax-driver, a police officer and a local thug. Taking advantage of his jet-lag situation, they want to frame him in a fake encounter.
Abhimanyu has given a convincing performance of a jetlagged person. He is good at action sequence - the climax Thai fight. But, one wonders why the actor has to talk so slowly! Sakshi Agarwal is just about adequate. What starts off as a romantic tale, shifts its track and by the time we wonder if it is going to turn into a horror film, the director once again changes the mood and a new episode of the underworld and nexus between police and goon opens up. Debutant Ram Manohar’s story had all the potential to be taut thriller, had he concentrated on a consistent screenplay and slick narrative.
