Sunny
& Ishaan both belong to big business houses. Sunny is
reckless & ruthless in his determination to grab
prime property for high-rise structures. Even to the
extent of brutally exterminating a family which refuses
to sell their house. Ishaan is his close confidante and
partner in crime. Though disturbed at times by the
cold-blooded murders & mayhem, he is equally to
blame. Ishaan hurtles along on this path of mindless
violence till he meets Suman (Tabu). Suman is able to
spot the goodness in Ishaan and though scared of the
violence erupting around her on the streets of Mumbai,
she still believes that she'll be able to reform Ishaan.
Ishaan too is shaken to the core after taking part in a
massacre which has only one survivor. A young girl who's
paralyzed for life. Suddenly he's ready to give it all up
and the rift between the two former friends widens.
Ajay Devgan
has come up with one of his finest performance and
Thakshak is definitely going to put him in a new league
altogether. But the surprise package is Rahul Bose who
plays to perfection a reckless gangster with a very mean
streak and suave good looks. His cool exterior masking
the violence within. What a relief to be finally able to
move away from Hindi screen's larger-than-life villains!
Tabu has done well in her short appearance. A.R Rahman's
music and the choreography are excellent.
It remains
to be seen whether the masses will give their
whole-hearted support to Nihalani for moving away from
arty stuff into the masala mix - though definitely folks,
it's 'masala' with a difference!
