The story is wafer-thin; but the treatment has pace; particularly in the first half. The film does sag a bit in the second half but it soon gets back on track. Director Soham Shah has shown marked improvement in his narrative skills compared to his earlier effort Kaal; amazingly though the cinematography of Kaal was better!

Danny stands out from the cast. Sanjay Dutt as Moosa is the same as he was in Plan or Musafir. Imran Khan after Kidnap again fails to impress, he should stick to romantic movies. Mithun Chakravarty reprises his Ghulaami act with the catchphrase "Koi Shaque". Shruti Hassan looks very good on screen, but her acting needs to be honed a great deal or else she will fade into oblivion as just another pretty face.

What chucks the movie:
Second half; there was no need for the romantic track. Cinematography, given the subject could have been much more arresting with the use of stylized angles!

Verdict:
This is a genre movie meant only for cinema buffs who love action movies.
For the rest, Love Aaj Kal opens next week.
