What it's about:

Action packed and full of blood n gore. Director Ahmed Khan makes his debut with a ghisipiti story. Sunny Deol is brought up by a kind hearted don. When the don dies, Sunny takes charge of his two children (Sohail Khan and Nauheed Cyrusi). Suniel Shetty idolises Sunny Deol; his brother John is in love with Nauheed. Apoorva Agnihotri, Sohail's friend, humiliates John. Suniel sends his men to bash up Apoorva but they beat Sohail by mistake. And a war erupts between Sunny and Suniel.

Budget: Rs 18 crore.

Price per territory: Rs. 2 crore.

Trade Verdict: In spite of the impressive starcast, the film couldn't stir audience interest. Since the film went over budget, everyone from the producer to the distributor will lose money.
