The film starts with the exotic Fiji island where the couple is on a vacation. They meet Paresh Rawal there who charms them to play a game where they can win 21 crores  by answering 8 questions and performing tasks related with the questions.

The first half of the film is fast and thrilling and keeps us busy in expecting what's going to come next . In between the film gives us a glimpse of the lives of the lead actors. 

The suspense which was revealed in the end was surely not what we expected and it did made us think on how some irrational actions can destroy lives.

Rajiv Khandelwal 's role had different shades and he has given a good performance. 

Paresh Rawal is a fine actor . As the ruthless game master he scares us in some scenes and keeps us captivated.  

Debutante Tena who has done everything from wearing a bikini to smooching , manages to leave an impact on the viewers. In some parts of the film she resembles Priyanka Chopra , in  the college scenes she resembles Genelia Desouza and with the  running eye liner and mascara she can be easily mistaken for Kangana Ranaut. When her character tells  Paresh "The person who said that money can't buy happiness didn't know where to shop " we see  how superficial and shallow people are until they come to know that death is the ultimate reality .

In a line very few people can claim that they have never lied , cheated or manipulated people , so watch the film and maybe it inspires you to rectify your actions before it's too late.

Can be watched in theaters .
