Raqeeb
is
a
musical
thriller
-
a
roller
coaster
ride
that
hurtles
from
one
twist
to
the
next
at
breakneck
speed.
The
story
has
many
themes
that
are
so
different
and
yet
so
closely
linked
that
they
overlap
each
other.
These
themes
are
like
shadows
where
the
viewer
is
never
quite
sure
where
one
shadow
ends
and
the
next
begins.
Seduction
leads
to
love,
love
becomes
betrayal,
betrayal
is
motivated
by
passion,
passion
leads
to
obsession
and
to
crime,
and
this
crime
reveals
another
betrayal
which
again
is
motivated
by
love.
The protagonist, Remo Mathews, is a computer whiz kid and the owner of a highly successful software company. Remo's parents had died in a car crash when he was still a child. Siddharth is his employee and probably, only friend. Sidharth is the extroverted playboy, and is the exact opposite of Remo who is shy, introverted and asthmatic. Sidharth constantly pesters Remo to socialize so that he can meet a few girls and fall in love with one of them. Remo seems to be averse to the whole idea until, one day Sidharth plays a prank and sets Remo up for a blind date.
Remo meets the girl and after the initial hilarious misunderstanding falls in love with her. The girl is Sofie, a theatre actress who is high on life. Love blossoms and all is going smoothly until Remo and Sofie discover that her parents died in the same car crash in which Remo's parents had been killed. Sofie realizes that Remo's parents were responsible for the death of her parents. Remo doesn't know how to deal with this tragic discovery. Sidharth persuades him to propose to Sofie. Remo proposes and after the initial hesitation, Sofie accepts. Remo and Sofie get married. Thereafter, the story takes an unexpected twist with the introduction of Sunny.
Sunny is a struggling actor who was in love with Sofie. But Sofie had always wanted a luxurious life which Sunny was unable to provide. Hence, Sofie married Remo. When they meet again, the old love is rekindled. Thus begins a torrid affair between them. Finally, tired of having to meet secretly and only occasionally, they plan to kill Remo. The plan is to hide Remo's asthma medicine and then aggravate his asthma so as to trigger an asthma attack. Once the asthma attack occurs, Sunny has to pretend to shoot Remo with fake bullets so as to aggravate his condition further eventually leading to death. The post mortem will reveal that Remo died of natural causes and hence, no one will be suspected of any foul play.
The D-day arrives and Sunny comes to Remo's house to execute the plan. But there is another twist in the tale. Sofie double crosses Sunny as well and he is arrested and accused of Remo's murder.
Why
does
Sofie
double
cross
Sunny?
Is
there
more
to
her
than
what
meets
the
eye?
Does
she
really
love
anyone?
Does
Sidharth
find
out
the
truth
about
Sofie?
Is
Sunny
able
to
clear
his
name?
And...is
Remo
really
dead
or
has
he
pulled
off
a
Houdini
act?
All these questions are answered as the story breathlessly races to its nail biting, chilling climax!
Rahul Khanna, Jimmy Shergill, Sharman Joshi, Tanushree Datta, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Vivek Shauq and Rekha form the starcast of the movie. The film is produced by Raj Kanwar and directed by Anurag Singh.
