Plot: A greedy hacker steals a large sum of money from an underworld don. Jai (Shahid Kaporr) falls madly in love with a girl he sees on a street (Kareena Kapoor). She says she can't love him no matter how much he loves her and so he decides to commit suicide to prove his love for her. (Um, yick!). He tries but fails. She says that she loves him if he tried to do that for her. She tells him that she owes a large sum of money to the underworld, and he tries to steal the money for her. Well, nobody in this movie is who they appear to be except for Jai whose problem is that he is too extreme in whatever he does, whether it be love, hate, or revenge. Shahid's no cutie in this one after intermission. Still, it's good to see that he didn't typecast himself early and is willing to try other roles.

Verdict: Not as good as 36 China Town but definitely better than Fool N Final. The music video cinematography is nothing stunning and the focus is mostly on the actors. In general (not only in reference to this film), Shahid is the kind of sweet geek guy who really cherishes a relationship. That is the main reason I like him by far. It's kind of stunning and unexpected when he takes his jacket off. Anyway, if you can't bear some of the characters in a story dying, then don't watch this one. It took me a while to get around to watching this, but in the end I figured the music videos were worth it.
