                | Review: |   
                | Akshay 
                  Kumar has done excellent role and no one would have been able 
                  to fit in his role. In second half movie he looks more smarter 
                  and better as an actor. Karishma Kapoor has got no scope of 
                  acting except dancing. Shilpa Shetty has different role here 
                  than what she normally gets and she is okay in her role. Ashish 
                  Vidhyarthi gives a good performance. The talented actor Ashutosh 
                  Rana talent has been wasted in such a small role. The screenplay 
                  is very poor. The story idea itself is good, but the director 
                  and writer fail to take any advantage of it. Music by Anand 
                  Milind is okay and few songs are catchy ('Mera yaar dildaar 
                  bada sona', 'Kasam se', and 'Mausam ki tarha'). 
 On whole it was an okay movie. Although it is not great super 
                  hit stuff but still movie is good.
