Despite being old Rekha has managed to keep up the glamourous look and complete with young hottie Mallika Sherawat. The director Goutham Menon cast these two beauties keeping their glamour in mind. Paresh Rawal and Satish play the two main male actors in the film. The film has the male actors being overshadowed by the female actors.

The only good part of the movie is the glamour quotient courtesy Rekha and Mallika Sherawat. The director has played his role well. The films beautiful shooting locations enhance the film. The romantic scenes in the film have absolutely nothing to boast of. Two of the songs in the film have been done in a refined manner. One Mallika song in particular is a feast for the eyes of the young Cinema fans.

The film is not recommendable for family audiences. It can be conveniently ignored.
