Bhram - an illusion. The movie has a plot that is quite good and in fact, gripping. But the poor handling and cinematography spoils it. The editing is just not upto the mark and seriously, the dialogues could have been way better! The story revolves around Antara (debutant Sheetal Menon) and Shantanu (Dino), who fall in love and he discovers an intriguing and disturbing past of his beloved. Now, he goes on a quest to sort out and set everything right for her, only to know about events he shouldn’t have known.

As far as the performances go, everyone tries to live upto the mark. Dino, Milind, Simone Singh and Sheetal Menon all belt out good performances. The film has many flashbacks now and then in the first half, which diverts attention and become irritating after a while. The poor handling of the film makes it too predictable and once the second half starts, you can easily decipher scene by scene as to what will happen next. A thriller works only when the climax hits you like a punching bag. This one sadly doesn’t hit you; rather evaporates too soon!

As far as the story goes, it does manage to evoke a few thrilling moments and the plot is pretty decent. The dialogues are a disaster and seriously speaking, we could have had the actors speaking on their own instead of having to memorize them! Music is pretty okay and a couple of tunes are hummable. The lack of publicity and good promotion will hit the film hard and it will need a strong word-of-mouth publicity to ensure decent collections at the box office.

Bhram Pre-release review
It seems that Bollywood has let loose the ‘thriller’ flavor this year. After Abbas Mastan’s ‘Race’ initiating Bhram

some gawking moments, it is now time for ‘Bhram’. Slated to be released on April 4, 2008, Bhram is a romantic thriller and the second directorial venture of Pawan Kaul, after the quirky SSSSHH… Featuring hotties like Milind Soman and Dino Morea, the star cast of the movie also holds lot of promise with the presence of suave beauties like Simone Singh and Sheetal Menon.

As the name suggests, Bhram is all about ‘illusions’ and shows how a thin line demarcates truth from falsehood. It is about how people are not always what they apparently seem to be. So, one can say that the movie has in store some real nail-biting moments. The crux of the story is a murder mystery. Apart from the thrilling moments that revolve around solving the murder, the film deals with relationships and is also garnished with various dramatic elements.

While long-legged model Sheetal Menon plays a model, with a disturbed past in, Dino Morea enacts the role of a financial consultant. He tries to bring to light the suspense behind the murder. Aiding him in his efforts is Chetan Hansraj, who was earlier seen in movies like Anthony Kaun Hai and Koi Aap Sa. Two other important characters in the movie are that of Milind Soman (who plays Dino’s elder brother) and Simone Singh.

While Pritam Chakraborty and Siddhartha Suhas are roped in as music composers for the soundtracks of the movie, we have Irshad Kamil (of ‘Jab We Met’ fame) and Kumaar assisting them with some good numbers. All said and done, let’s see if Bhram manages to pull audience to the theatres with its emotionally-charged and thriller-packed moments, or just becomes a mere name in the Bollywood rat-race.
