Prakash Jha earlier made realistic films like MRITHYUDAND and others but this was an attempt by him to make a commercial film
God knows why in the same year too Govind Nihalini another realistic film director tried a commercial film THAKSHAK with Ajay again
The movie as i said tries too hard to balance both sides
Problem is sadly the weak script
The family scenes are too convulted while the romance between Ajay and Mahima isn't convincing
The drama between Ajay- Kajol and Mahima is well brought out at times but overall the film lacks a strong script and direction
Direction by Prakash Jha is ordinary Music is good
Amongst actors Ajay looks lost and is typecast as in those days when he played the husband in HDDCS and this role had no novelty for him Mahima shreiks too often and is okay Kajol is the best here the rest are okay Chandrachur Singh is a miscast
