OUTLINE

AETBAAR is inspired by the same Hollywood thriller - director James Foley's Mark Wahlberg-Reese Witherspoon flick FEAR, which itself was inspired by FATAL ATTRACTION that had an over-possessive woman acting as a wall between her step-sister and her eccentric lover.

AETBAAR talks about an over-possessive father out to save his daughter from the clutches of her weird lover. Let's put it this way: AETBAAR may not be the most original thriller ever made, but it works to a large extent in keeping the viewer on edge at most times. AETBAAR deals with one of life's most beautiful relationships - the father and daughter bonding.

So what eventually happens? Does Riya have the guts to face Dr.Malhotra? Does aetbaar of Dr.Malhotra survives? AETBAAR is sure to fill you with excitement.



ANALYSIS

AETBAAR has been primarily shot in Vancouver, Canada on most real life occasions. Cinematography (Pravin Bhatt) is well done with songs "Chhodo Chhodo..." standing out. Rajesh Roshan's music is upto the mark. Screenplay (Robin Bhatt and Sanjeev Duggal) laced with excellent dialogues (Girish Dhamija) makes audience to have notice. An interesting plot well narrated by Vikram Bhatt, is the right way to describe AETBAAR. An intense love story, skillfully executed sequences and effective performances. Girish Dhamija's dialogues are noteworthy. The action sequences (Abbas Ali Moghul), especially towards the climax, are first-rate.

Mr.Bachchan is once again no surprise with yet another brilliant dramatic performance. He behaves as a loving, protective father who would do anything for his family's prestige. That look of desperate helplessness as his daughter romps with a certifiable psycho is lucidly mapped on his face.

Bipasha Basu springs a surprise. After a series of second-rate performances, the actress succeeds in making you sit up and take notice of her talent. The sequence when she revolts against her parents is enough to prove the point!

John Abraham is seriously a discovery surprise. Playing a psycho lover, John has amazed everyone with his intensity and brilliant acting. His craziness for Bipasha Basu has been beautifully brought out on screen. Maybe with this, John has made a statement- he is here to stay. Supriya Pilgaonkar does a good show. ( Pramod Moutho) Commissioner of Police, (Tom Alter) doctor, (Shruti Ulfat) college professor and (Ali Asgar) Bipasha's friend lend adequate support.

On the whole, AETBAAR has the merits to catch the audience attention and stands out to be worth watching dramatic film with superb performances, and nicely handled direction.
