A top model Maya Solomon (ilene Hamann) has been murdered, and
inspector Uday (Irfan Khan) is entrusted with the investigations - under
the condition that he arrests someone within one week ...
His investigations soon lead Uday to s trio of suspects from the upper
class, Maya's fiancé, the playboy Ali (Himmanshu Malik), Maya's aunt
Shyamili, who has an affair with Ali, and the egocentric journalist Harsh
(Suhel Seth), who considers himself Maya's mentor and therefore deeply
despises Ali. Uday is quick to resent all three of these high nosed upper
class persons, jsut as much as they hate him, simply for nt being upper
class. Problem is though that Uday's investigations seem to lead nowhere,
and he becomes more and more infatuated with dead Maya, endlessly staring
at her pictures and reading her diary and love letters - which doesn't
help the investigations either ...
Then one day, Maya returns. Turns out she wasn't killed at all but
taking time out in her house on the beach ... but that still leaves one
body too many, a body that belongs to Neena, a fellow model who was Ali's
former girlfriend but had sex with him until her death - actually she was
having sex with Ali right when the killer rang the dorrbell. Now that puts
Maya in the hot seat, and in one instant she has turned from victim into
main suspect ... only Uday is convinced she's innocent, even though all
the evidence points into her direction.
Eventually, Uday even finds himself forced to arrest her, but
ultimately he does so only to help her escape in the process, and the very
night of her escape they become lovers. But the danger isn't over since
the killer is still at large, and he is bound to come back to Maya's house
since he has hidden the murder weapon in her grandfather's clock ... and
then he realizes that Maya, who's supposed to be in prison, is home as
well, and while he's at it, he thinks, why not kill Maya while there still
is a chance - he by the way is Harsh, who has become gravely lovesick
after Maya chose Ali over him. Only at the very last minute can Uday keep
Harsh from killing Maya, but ultimately it's Maya who shoots Harsh in self
defense ...
Routine thriller that has its moments but suffers from a serious lack
of realism and irrational character motivations, and leaves way too many
questions open to really work.
By the way, this film has no song-and-dance sequences, which is rather
unusual for Hindu films - even thrillers.
