This movie tackles a different subject -- prostitution -- and all the associated ills such as drug abuse, violence, etc. taboo in traditional Indian society. It does so however, only at a superficial level. None of the characters come across as real-life. The set seems to have been recycled again and again, not that it made any difference.
Maybe they had a very low budget (someone can verify this). Production is of poor quality, the pace extremely slow, and character buildup is inadequate. In my view, this could have been done better with a highly experienced captain at the helm.
None of the performances are top-notch. Rahul Bose disappoints. Kareena is OK. Not much supporting cast to write about.
