In the meantime, Neelima's uncle, Jabbar Bakshi (Danny Danzongpa) is released from jail after 12 years .

Prince gets admission in medical college while Neelima is rejected. Yet their parting of ways makes their hearts grow fonder. Fear enters their relationship, when a younger uncle, Naseem Bakshi relates the story of their sister, Sabeena whose husband was killed by Jabber Bakshi, just because she had fallen in love with him & they had eloped to get married in court. Sabeena had also put and end to her life. This horrifies Neelima. It is during one of the meeting she finds out that he is a Hindu. Fearing repercussions from her family, Neelima stops seeing Prince. But this separation proves short-lived since they both realize that they cannot live without each other. Now starts the war of the families and tension mounts. She is forced to get married to a boy chosen by the family. But Prince manages to abduct her from the "Nikah" ceremony and they elope. This creates havoc within the families and the news spreads like wildfire. People from both communities come forward to exploit the situation for their personal gains. A family affair degenerates into a social, political and religious issue, and religious leaders take the lead in igniting passions, suddenly the situation takes and ugly turn and there is rioting and arson in the city, innocent lives are lost. Meanwhile Prince and Neelima are exploring their New World of love and romance. In this volatile atmosphere, they are arrested and handed over to their respective families. Before they can be united they are shot fatally by some unidentified people. But who was responsible for their death? We have collectively killed them. We the people. Did they deserve death?

It is something we already know, but which we have to be reminded of, so let us start thinking about it now.

When I was surfing trying to get an idea of this movie, the emphasis was on entertaining romance with Hitchcock twists and turns. The cover has a sinister set of stills and talks of man's dark side.
I don't like violent Indian movies and I wasn't sure whether this was for me.
Actually it was violence on a par with Hollywood action movies like Indiana Jones or Mission Impossible. They did have an extended fight scene at the end (when the resolution of the movie was very much in doubt quite a few times) but it was no more gratuitous in images than something like Spiderman.
What is very much to recommend about this movie is that the plot is well devised and there are many satisfying surprise twists in the last half.
The first half is focused more on setting a romantic web and has light musical numbers. Booby Deol plays a charismatic lover who is worth watching just for that (I'm not sure why he has concentrated on more action and violent flicks as he can express love and sensitivity so well when he chooses). The female lead is good (but I'm a female and may appreciate her acting rather than her charms!) The baddy (Akshaye Khanna)is stereotypically a cad and does that with believable finesse.
As with so many Indian movies the first and second halves contrast in their mood. The first half is light, romantic and full of music, romance and beautiful settings. The second half is well crafted thriller.
I found the violence when it did happen wasnt too sustained generally and was more action sequence stuff- and was endurable for those who dont like violent movies but manage occasional action.
