7/10
A powerful script which combines the +ves of 'Zinda' and 'Saw series' in the right amounts.

Warning: Spoilers
Amidst the period of non sensical cinema, any movie with a 'story' is welcome. Here's one such from Aditya and hope the audience appreciate such cinema more.

Rajeev Khandelwal as the lead actor and a newbie as the actress; how many of you would really go for such cinema! Take the risk and you will be surprised with what's in store for you.

The movie begins with the lead actors entering a game show that makes them answer 8 questions, perform 8 tasks and win a hefty 21 crore as a part of their anniversary package deal. Tempting, ah ! . Money never comes free and along with answering 8 questions they have to perform 8 tasks to win the same. Every task has a meaning and is justified.

The USP of the film is its climax, its hard hitting and in the right sense. After having so many positives , what went wrong here was the casting; Rajeev is strictly OK, he lacks the 'Aaamir' touch. The newbie Tena is a dummy and Paresh Rawal doesn't quite hit the chord as we expect him to. Had this department been filled by stalwarts, this movie was none less than a masterpiece.

Hopefully , the director was able to deliver his message to the audience and we wish similar justice for all such wrong - doers. This one's worth a watch !
