Aitraaz

By IndiaFM News Bureau, September 27th, 2004 - 0930 hrs IST


The dynamic director-duo Abbas Mustan in their trademark white attire, have added much color on the silver screen. The thrill masters are back at their best with new exciting games in Aitraaz. Made under the banner of Mukta Arts, the film is produced by the showman - Subhash Ghai.

Akshay Kumar who got his first hit (and the Khiladi image) with Abbas Mustan's Khiladi and played his first negative role in Abbas-Mustan's Ajnabee plays the male lead of the film. Kareena Kapoor too teams up once again with Abbas-Mustan post Ajnabee. And after turning several good guys into bad ones in Bollywood, this time Abbas-Mustan have added gray shades to Priyanka Chopra's character who plays the first The Complainant

Priyanka Chopra as Sonia Sharma

The complainant is the fascinating and focused Sonia. She believes that goals are meant to be achieved. Namely her goals. Whatever the price!!!

Indeed, if money makes the world go round, a woman can bring the world to a standstill. Sonia succeeds in bringing Raj's world to a complete stop for reasons that go beyond the expected dignity and grace. Her mantra is clear. Nothing shall come in between her wants and desires.

The Defence Lawyer

Annu Kapoor as Ram Choitrani

Careful, convincing and conniving, Ram Choitrani is a perfect foil to the prosecution lawyer. As the Defence lawyer, he faces Mr. Patel in the confines of the court with aplomb.

But little does he know that he will get embroiled in a fateful web from where there is no way out.

The Prosecution Lawyer

Paresh Rawal as Mr Patel

The Prosecution lawyer, Mr. Patel is as shrewd as he is foxy! He does all in his power to create a win-win situation for his clients. The truth is absolutely incidental where he is concerned.

Success has a strange affinity towards him. Now he is involved in a case as controversial as can be. Will success be his yet again? Or is he in for a surprise?

The Pawn

Amrish Puri as Ranjit Roy

Ranjit Roy is Raj Malhotra's boss. He also shares a brow-raising relationship with the complainant Sonia. He is a mere pawn in the hands of Sonia and it is by virtue of this, that many lives are thrown out of gear. Can he afford to ignore the situation that he is in, or will he just accept it.

Storyline

In the accused box of the courtroom, stands a man, startled and shocked that destiny could lead him there. Only some time back, Raj Malhotra had the world at his feet. None could point a finger at him. Today he is accused of the most heinous crime.

It all starts when he met Sonia again. A blast… from his past, he was aware that she knew only one way to live and that was her way!!! And one fateful day, things did not go her way.

Raj Malhotra is accused.

Now his most prized possession - his honor is at stake. He finds himself helpless in a world that is called a man's world! At the mercy of a woman who puts to use her most effective weapon.

But the doors of justice are waiting to be knocked. The drama has just begun. The court is far from adjourned.

Crew

Himesh Reshammiya who stuck to fame the last time he composed for Abbas-Mustan in Humraaz, has composed the music of the film while Sameer has penned the lyrics. Shyam Geol and Shiraz Ahmed (who also scripted Humraaz) have written the story and screenplay of the film. Hussain A. Burmawala is the editor.

Release Date

The film may release in November 2004
