This one is exclusively for Salman Khan fans and a strict no-no for anyody else.

Even if you are the former, I would pity you. This one is a real flop show. Salman soars through, but everything else in the movie is agnozingly bad. The story is a lifted in parts from several familiar movies. Troy, Gladiator, Mard, Raj Thilak are a few that some to the mind.

Here’s the story, Salman is a member of the Pindari community who were betrayed by the Raja of Madhavgarh, played by Jackie Shroff. Prithvi Singh (Mithun Chakravarthy) sends his son, Salman, to study in England, where Salman meets Jackie’s daughter (Zarine Khan). After this sequence, both head back home and are pitted against each other by traditional rivalry. What unfolds next forms the climax of this movie.

Except Mithun, Salman overrides every other actor in the movie. Not even his brother character, Sohail Khan, gets any screen time. Zarine Khan disappoints and fails to pull off even the romantic scenes. There are a cloud of well known actors in the Pindari community, but none of their roles have any substance.

Salman is the only saving grace in this movie. Acting the part of a sturdy looking guy comes natural to him and spends most of the time in the movie without his shirt. How long will this last??!!

The director seems to have been lost in including commercial elements in the movie. Music, camera and photography are above par. The action sequences are a letdown though. A few rope tricks seem very obvious and could have been avoided.

Overall, its 1 on 5 for this one. And Salman earns the single point for the movie.
