Sanjay Gupta appears lost. There are far too many emotional beats in this story, and that's not his strong point. And Gupta's forte getting off on sadistic, slickly shot violence isn't something you expect Papa Roshan to endorse. Rohan's ploys are fun for a bit, but they get repetitive very quickly, and you wish for some real danger, some tightness, some tension. Yami Gautam barely registers, but then, it's her co-star people will come to see. And he pulls out the stops. He gives his fans the Guzaarish martyr face, the Agneepath angry face, the Mission: Kashmir troubled face, the Jodhaa Akbar post-coital face, the Yaadein what-am-I-doing-in-this-movie? face, and of course, the Koi Mil Gaya face the glazed eyes and slightly stupid grin of a teenager who's just experienced his first orgasm. What we have, in other words, is less a thriller than a series of bedroom-wall posters for fans.
