What's it about: He's a cross between Jason Bourne and Spiderman. Prince (Oberoi) is a one-man wonder who commits the biggest robbery of his life only to wake up and realise his memory has been erased.

Not knowing who he is, or what he's done, Prince has to rely on random people who show up claiming to be his buddies.

However, trust isn't an asset, as he finds not one but three different girls claiming to be his girlfriend, Maya.

Admist all this chaos and confusion, he has to trace down an ancient relic a coin that has magical powers and give it back to its rightful owner.

Set mostly in Durban, the film has some breath-taking visuals and rivetting action scenes to keep you entertained.

What's hot: The visuals and actions scenes justify the mammoth budget the film boasts of. The opening robbery scene of the diamonds (though inspired by Mission Impossible) is still engaging and well executed.

There are enough gadgets, gizmos, car chases and high altitude drops to keep the tempo going. Apart from the action sequences, it's the special effects that work in the film's favour.

Vivek is in good form and at ease with his character. Despite the burden of playing an almost-superhero the actor seems to be most happy jumping down ravines or kicking some butt.

The Aye Mere Khuda track by Atif Aslam is hummable. Vishnu Rao's cinematography is a delight with gorgeous shots of Durban.
