Rating-*1/2
Anant
Mahadevan
delves
into
the
thriller
territory
and
delivers
yet
another
average
product
after
Aksar,
in
the
form
of
Aggar.On
the
lines
of
Murder,
Zeher
and
The
Train
(producers
Shyam
and
Narendra
Bajaj"s
previous
film),
Aggar
is
a
story
of
love,
lust,
betrayal,
murder
laced
with
a
twist
in
the
tale.
Aryan
(Tusshar
Kapoor)
is
mentally
wrecked
and
ends
up
in
an
asylum
after
he
accidentally
murders
his
unfaithful
girlfriend
(Sophie
Chaudhary)
in
a
fit
of
rage.
Enter
Dr
Aditya
Merchant
(Shreyas
Talpade)
a
psychiatrist
with
a
known
track
record
of
successful
cases,
who
takes
it
on
him
to
make
him
alright
again.
He
manages
to
get
his
patient
out
of
the
sanatorium
and
confidently
tells
him
that
he
will
cure
him
in
a
few
months" time.
In
just
a
matter
of
a
few
days,
Aryan
manages
to
impress
Ritu
(Nauheed
Cyrusi)
who
works
under
Jahnvi
(Udita
Goswami),
a
rich,
seductive
and
stylish
woman.
On
the
other
hand
the
doctor
is
having
major
marital
problems
with
Jahnvi
who
happens
to
be
his
wife.
She
suspects
him
of
having
an
affair
and
gradually
finds
comfort
in
the
arms
of
Aryan
who
first
impresses
her
with
his
working
skills.
The
problem
arises
when
the
lonely
Aryan
actually
falls
deeply
for
her,
while
she
realizes
that
her
hubby
was
actually
planning
a
surprise
for
her
and
not
cheating
on
her.
Since
there
have
been
many
films
like
'Aggar"
in
the
past,
a
lot
of
things
in
the
movie
appear
predictable
and
it
doesn"t
actually
have
anything
new
to
offer.
The
only
saving
grace
is
the
little
twist
in
the
story
towards
the
end,
which
kind
of
startles
one
a
bit.
But
then
the
treatment
in
the
climax
is
very
filmi
again.
A
lot
of
silly
things
also
keep
happening
in
the
story
–like
Tusshar"s
sudden
sane
behaviour
right
after
walking
out
of
the
mental
hospital,
impressing
Nauheed
in
a
jiffy,
and
then
landing
up
with
a
job,
Udita
embarking
on
an
affair
without
even
caring
to
have
a
proper
chat
with
her
husband
and
Tushhar
never
guessing
the
fact
that
Udita
could
be
his
doctor"s
wife
even
after
knowing
that
she
is
married,
has
the
same
surname,
Merchant
and
her
hubby"s
name
is
Aditya
.
Looks
like,
too
many
cinematic
liberties
for
the
writers
here!
Tusshar
Kapoor
does
an
Emraan
Hashmi
kind
of
a
wayward,
psychologically
disturbed
fiery
lover
boy
role.
Though
he
tries,
it"s
not
a
very
impressive
act
and
its
better
if
Tusshar
sticks
to
what
he
is
best
at-comic
and
simpleton
characters.
Shreyas
Talpade
experiments
with
this
role
of
a
suave
calm
doctor
and
it"s
nice
to
see
him
do
so.
Udita
Goswami"s
styling
is
good
in
the
movie
but
acting
wise
she
has
nothing
new
to
offer.
She
kind
of
repeats
what
she
did
in
'Zeher"
and
'Aksar".
Nauheed
Cyrusi
looks
pretty
but
comes
across
as
quite
wooden
faced.
Sophie
Chaudhary
who
is
there
only
in
the
initial
reels
doesn"t
have
much
to
offer.
Vikas
Kalantri
has
a
blink,
you
miss
it
role.
Looks
like
the
director
hired
mainly
to
film
a
love
making
scene
with
Sophie!
Saadhika
too
has
very
little
to
do.
Cinematography
is
fairly
okay.
Mithun"s
music
is
average
and
it"s
sad
after
the
fairly
good
'The
Train"
soundtrack,
he
delivers
something
of
this
sort.
The
last
song
of
the
movie
(filmed
on
Tusshar)
looks
completely
out
of
place.
Not
recommended
for
hardcore
thriller
fans.
Those
who
are
okay
with
average
thrills
can
go
for
it,
though.
