Kidnap

Cast:
Imran Khan...Kabir
Minissha Lamba...Sonia Raina
Sanjaay Dutt...Vikrant Raina

Summary:
Kabir is a young boy who grew up in jail for a deed he did not mean to do. Sonia is the daughter of India's richest man, Vikrant Raina. She wants to see her father because her parents divorced a long time ago and the mother is not letting her go see him, so she leaves her house in a fit of anger and goes for a swim during which she gets kidnapped and wakes up in a locked house with Kabir. He kidnaped her and we do not know why he did it, he doesn't want any ransom, but starts playing mind games with Vikrant. We find out that Vikrant sent a young Kabir to prison accusing him of kidnaping Sonia, when he really was just taking his car to get his friend to the hospital. Finally everything is well again and Kabir makes Vikrant see his mistake in doing so and Sonia goes back to her parents.

Review:
I was really excited about this film because it is Imran Khan's second film and I absolutely loved him in Jaane Tu, and so I had a feeling it was going to be good. Also this is Minissha's second hit and I was curious to see how she performed with this new avatar. I thought they both did well in proving their versatility, but I felt the plot was a little weak. It was fine in the beginning, but towards the end it sort of died because they couldn't really maintain three hours of like 1 room. BUT, I did like the movie a lot even if it was a little dead because they filled the deadness with a lot of good action and little spasms of interest. BUT I WISH THEY FELL IN LOVE! Meaning Kabir and Sonia, like they almost did during the song Mausam, but it turns out it wasn't real and I was so disappointed because Imran was soooo beautiful and he really needed a heroine to love. So that was the biggest disappointment,  NO LOVE! But I enjoyed the film because it kept you entertained and you left with a good feeling. I would recommend watching this film because it was fun, even with the lacking plot. It will keep you entertained and you will love gazing at Imran for 3 hours :)

Songs:
I really liked Mit Jaaye and Hey Ya because they are very dancey and have good beats. Mit Jaaye is Kabir's theme song, they showed it at the credits, but I wish they incorporated it into the film like they did with Hey Ya, Sonia's theme song.
