Eleven years back Vivek Oberoi started his career with  Company for which he got best Filmfare Best Debut Award and Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award . He gave another try at being a gangster in Shootout at Lokhandwala for which he was nominated for the Filmfare Best Villain Award . This time his attempt to pose as a gangster who falls in love for the beautiful and educated Neha has totally failed to impress the audience or critics . 

The film appeared to be made in two parts . First part had the songs which were lavishly shot , had good choreography and  looked like a part of a big budget film .Second part which was the main film had just 2-3 poorly made sets which looked as fake as Vivek's bhai accent in the film .  Vivek keeps calling Neha Bhadotri , Bhaodtri in the film without telling the viewers its meaning. When I checked Google I came to know it meant 'tenant ' !

The film had random scenes which appeared one after the another which made no contribution in keeping the audience entertained . Vivek , the gangster had no  good scenes or actions. His only work was to beat some petty gangsters 2-3 times in the film and listen to sarcastic comments from his boss .

The most unbelievable  character was that of Neha Sharma who is out of job , faints because of malnutrition but roams around with salon treated hair and briefest briefs . She belongs to an orthodox family but has no problems in  drinking and dancing with the gangster next door . 

The story had so many episodes that before the first one had the chance to develop or engross the audience some other episode started . We could not decide whether the story was about a girl with big dreams which got shattered due to recession or a temperamental guy who wanted to be a   big gangster , or a girl who wants to keep her father in dark by pretending she was dating a rich guy or a gangster who had a change of heart and just wants that people should do the right things in life.

   
In a line this love story is so lame that even the biggest Vivek Oberoi fan would say that he should stay away from romance and do roles like Maya Dolas or Prathap Ravi ( Rakht Charitra I )
Highly Avoidable .

Rank- 11   (Out of the 11 films I have seen in 2013 )
