Pulakesh Bhowmik’s story is too childish to be true. His screenplay is dull and fails to build either excitement or tension. The kids are tight-lipped when Rhino asks them questions but reveal all the moment his senior comes on the scene, without any real effort on his (senior’s) part. Again, the action-filled climax is tame and looks too hurried.
The biggest problem with the script is that nothing about the drama seems believable. Even the track of the police subedar and his dominating wife looks forced and fails to evoke laughter or even a smile because the jokes are so silly. Dialogues (Anupama Mishra) are commonplace.
Master Siddhartha Sanghania is fair. Zakir Hussain does a reasonably good job. Rupali Ganguly is alright. Jackie Shroff gets hardly any scope and is average. Kay Kay Menon does a fair job. Sanjay Mishra doesn’t quite impress because his scenes are quite weird. As his wife (Soma Rathore) fills the bill. Rajpal Yadav has been wasted. Liliput overacts. Baby Rajvi Suchak is alright as Kuhu. As her parents, Sanjay S. Swaaraaj and Minal Kapoor pass muster. Ashraf-ul-haq is so-so as the terrorist leader. Rajvi Patel, Shabnam Sharma, Azaan Shah and the rest lend ordinary support.
Vineet Khetrapal’s direction may be okay but his narration would not find takers among the kids or the youth or older generation. Of course, he is handicapped by the weak script. Music (by Kaushik Dutta and Shamir Tandon) is, at best, functional. Rajeev Barnwal and Pinky Poonawala’s lyrics are okay. Soumik Haldar’s camerawork, Kaushik Datta’s background score and Tarun Agasty’s sets are average. Parvez-Feroz’s action scenes are routine. Editing (Sanjib Dutta and Pranav V. Dhiwar) is far from sharp.
