First, the characters.

Aryan (Abraham): Psychotic lover with unruly hair, bloodshot eyes, tilted head and a perpetually sweaty face. Is fixated on Ria.

Dr Malhotra (Bachchan): Fixated father who thinks he's a doting dad. Drops by the disco in the dead of the night to pick up darling daughter.

Ria ( Basu ): College-going gullible girl, who can't figure out why she loves Aryan. Problem is, neither can we.

This is one of the few films I have seen, where the audience walks out almost 20 minutes before it's over. Not because of boredom, but because most thought the film was over!

Yours truly wanted to walk out after the first 20 minutes, after the story seemed predictable.
