Story
Karanvir
Sharma
is
a
crime
reporter
who
works
for
a
local
newspaper
in
Goa.
Mannara
is
his
beautiful
neighbour
in
Goa
who
falls
head
over
heels
in
love
with
Karanvir.
The
couple
decides
to
take
their
relationship
forward
and
goes
out
on
a
date
one
stormy
night.
While
returning,
they
meet
with
an
accident
which
results
in
the
death
of
a
teenage
girl.
After
the
panic
and
tense
moment,
Mannara
convinces
Karanvir
to
report
the
death
to
the
police
as
a
hit
and
run
case.
As
the
story
goes
on
with
such
lies,
betrayals,
obsessions,
possessiveness,
jealousy,
what's
the
end
result
of
the
protagonist
forms
the
crux
of
the
film
Zid.
Review
Zid
was
promoted
by
Priyanka
Chopra
in
support
of
her
cousin
Mannara.
Barbie
Handa
rechristened
as
Mannara
for
Bollywood
by
the
makers
of
this
film
has
done
a
decent
work
as
far
as
acting
is
concerned.
The
erotic
thriller
has
everything
in
store
for
the
audience
from
several
lip
locks
to
intimate
scenes.
As
the
saying
goes,
'sex
sells',
so
is
this
movie
which
is
all
about
eroticism,
sex,
intimate
scenes,
etc.
The
audience
has
seen
enough
films
like
Jism,
Hate
Story,
Ragini
MMS,
etc.
However,
the
makers
have
decided
to
go
with
yet
another
such
genre
to
get
the
audience's
attention.
Zid
project
which
was
started
and
directed
by
Vivek
Agnihotri
as
a
thriller,
suddenly
took
a
turn
and
became
an
erotic
sex
thriller.
This
creative
difference
made
Vivek
Agnihotri
to
disassociate
himself
from
the
project.
Zid
stars
Karanvir
Sharma,
Mannara
and
Shraddha
Das
who
have
all
debuted
into
Bollywood.
Karanvir
as
a
hardcore
romantic
gives
his
best
shot
but
falters.
Mannara
fails
to
do
justice
to
her
role
as
well.
Although
the
story
goes
on
with
the
same
old
concept
of
love,
sex,
betrayal,
obsession,
the
music
of
this
film
is
extraordinary.
In
the
soulful
voice
of
Arijit
Singh
'Tu
Zaroori',
'Saanso
Ko'
and
'Mareez-e-Ishq'
have
all
come
out
as
chartbusters.
Cinematography
is
good.
The
evergreen,
beautiful
picturesque
locations
of
Goa
are
never
too
boring
anytime
we
see
them
on-screen.
Zid
is
a
botched
attempt
at
making
a
thriller
and
falls
flat
with
the
forgettable
performances
by
the
star
cast.
Watch
this
flick
only
if
you
are
too
bored
in
life.
Check
out
some
intimate
scenes
from
the
film
Zid.
Barbie
Handa
Vivek
Agnihotri
says,
"The
most
crucial
scenes
of
the
film
with
one
major
song
are
being
done
by
them.
Even
the
star
cast
was
brought
in
(signed
up)
to
be
a
part
of
a
psychological
thriller
and
not
an
erotic
thriller.
Of
the
star
cast,
the
film's
heroine
Barbie
Handa
is
my
discovery,
who
is
a
name
to
watch
out
for
in
the
days
to
come."
Intimate
Scenes
Watch
out
for
some
intimate
scenes
which
are
even
termed
as
vulgar.
Mannara
has
not
shown
her
bold
avatar
to
do
such
scenes
with
her
co-star.
Erotic
Thriller
The
movie
which
started
as
a
thriller
became
an
erotic
thriller.
When
the
first
poster
of
the
film
was
out
with
Mannara
baring
it
all,
the
audiences
were
curious
to
know
what
is
this
film
about.
Zid
In
Bollywood,
erotic
films
like
Zid
have
come
aplenty,
still
the
makers
have
belief
in
their
story.
Karanvir
Sharma
as
a
debutant
actor
has
done
the
film
with
confidence.
Karanvir
Sharma
Anubhav
Sinha
says, "I
call
it
my
tribute
to
Muhesh
Bhatt
for
fun.
He's
created
this
genre
in
India
and
has
been
successful
at
it.
If
you
ask
me,
I
think
Zid
is
very
sexy
and
sinful.
It's
fun,
thrilling
and
adult.
It's
a
story
of
a
man
who
is
loved
by
two
women
and
one
of
them
is
obsessive
in
nature."
Shraddha
Das
Zid
is
only
about
erotic
scenes,
intimacy,
obsessin,
revenge.
Watch
it
only
if
you
are
too
bored.
