Professor Vidyashankar Pandey gets employed as a lecturer in a college and relocates to Bombay. His family, - his wife, and a young son, Surya, move to a chawl in South Bombay. Vidyashankar notices that the area and the community is being controlled by notorious gangster, Raja, and his men, and does not want this to impact upon his young son, and his wife. Unfortunately, Surya is impressed by Raja, and treats him like a hero. Once Surya saves his life, and on another occasion, refuses to identify Raja as the killer in a police line-up. Raja takes a liking to Surya and treats him like a close friend. Years go by, Surya has grown up, and despite his parents’ objections still hangs around with Raja and his men. Then things take an unexpected turn, that will make Surya regret saving Raja’s life, and not identifying him in the police line-up..

“Bollywood”’s cocktail version of Robert De Niro’s 1993 masterpiece “A BronxTale”. Even scenes that make no sense in an Indian setting have been plagiarized. And plagiarizing does not end in the storyline. The song numbers on screen are neither hum-worthy nor visually appealing. All you can do is keep guessing which songs they resemble. And possibly except for one, the other numbers are eminently forgettable.THe characters all seem misfits, except Sanjay Dutt. Monisha’s role is an obvious afterthought with few appearances that hardly make an effect on the movie. The heavy multilayer suits in the humid Bombay weather complement the dumb screenplay.
