silvan-desouza Vikram Bhatt was going through a bad phase post APD when he gave a series of flops like Footpath, Inteha Aetbaar was sadly a follow up though it had a good cast. The film was stuck due to financial issues which resulted in it being delayed, In between Bhatt made INTEHA which had a similar plot with Amitabh's character being replaced by Vidya Malwade(as a sister). That film released 2 months before and tanked. Aetbaar released on the same day as Khakee and affected both at the B.O. Lets see the faults: The film has a weak script, First of all John's character is shown weirdly and never explained why he behaves like that. Bipasha accepting all the tortures works against her character Even the romance is unconvincing and also the songs spoil the show and don't go well with John's character. The film borrows from FEAR but sadly the impact is curtailed However the clash between Big B and John does work however the pace gets slow and the climax though well filmed is predictableDirection by Vikram Bhatt is letdown by the writers Music is not up to the mark and seems forcedAmitabh Bachchan performs his part well as usual, Bipasha Basu doesn't look the innocent girl she is playing but does a good job John Abraham tries very hard and does impress but his role is not properly written, His voice too was dubbed those days. Supriya is okay, Ali Asgar is okay too

anjshaik i really enjoyed this movie i don't know how many times i've watched it but it's truly something for Vikram Bhatt fans Amitabh Bhachan's acting is great Robin Bhatt's screenplay is cheesy but i've seen that in his other movies and i appreciate him his abilities as a scriptwriter overall this movie can teach you about your relationships with your father or your parents it has some similarities with Inteha but it's definitely a different story and when you watch it you'll enjoy it i know i did 4/5 is the rating of this movie i give it really rocked songs were really great Udit Narayan's voice is beautiful along with others highly enjoyable movie

aashish This movie does keep you watching. Unlike the typical bollywood movie, the story moves along rapidly in this one. So even though you can predict exactly what's coming next, while the traditional Hindi movie takes its sweet old time in getting there, this one gets right to the point.The story was quite unrealistic. I don't mean the premise, as that in fact was a pretty good one. However, the way the story unfolded was quite far-fetched and worthy of a cheap horror novel. Amitabh Bachchan gave a strong performance as always but the rest of the cast can't act at all. Moreover, the characters of Ria and her mother were unintelligent to an extreme. Especially the mother... I know they wanted to established that Amitabh as the father was the head of the household, but having the mother's character be this useless is well, quite useless.The only positive thing I can say about this movie was the looming dark feel it had to it. I haven't seen this in a Hindi movie since Aks and Sangharsh. This gloomy, evil, dark, helpless, "feel something in your stomach" shade is rarely seen in bollywood, and perhaps writers and directors need to explore it a little more. It works wonders in Hollywood, so why not bring it home? They bring everything else home don't they?Perhaps I'm being too critical. Perhaps the movie was only meant to be as good as it ended up being. All in all, not worth it. 4.5/10

Herag Halli Movies are influenced not copied and in this case, well influenced and directed. John Abaraham debuted in "Jism" and it is amazing how far he has come in span of few movies. In "Jism" he was wooden, here he has great depth and range almost matching the Veteran Bachchan. Hindi movies have been dominated by actors like SRK, Salman Khan who have neither the looks nor the depth to portray the diversity required for an actor. Last decade the Indian Cinema has been cheated,orphaned and greatly deprived of this diversity-in the younger set-where as we always had feast from the older actors like Bachchan, Patekar, Om Puri, Amrish Puri-just to name a few. Actors like John Abraham are filling this gap and Actors like him have heightened interest in the otherwise dormant Hindi Cinema. The movie showcases incredible dueling between Abraham (Aryan) Bachchan (Doctor Trivedi) and his daughter (Bipasa Basu). Bachchan is indisputable Icon who has a commanding presence in any scene in any angle-a born actor like Pacino-where as Bipasha most of the time looks like she is hiding a secret (seductively I may add), but she does emote well when called for,unlike actors in her class Ash Rai; who looks good but the woman cannot act period-which can be a handicap for a director the caliber of Vikram Bhat.
