Review
Gunaah has sultry Bipasha playing a good cop and model-turned-actor Dino Morea essaying the role of a criminal at large. The
film, maiden directorial attempt by Amol Shetge, is based on the script by Mahesh Bhatt.
Tough cop Prabha (Bipasha) is haunted by the demons of her past. Being an illegitimate daughter of a prostitute, she has had a very
bad childhood and there once occurred an incident in her life when she was driven to the point of committing a murder. But today, now
that she is a cop, she believes that she can clear her conscience by reforming a criminal.
Prabha’s life is turned topsy-turvy with the entry of Aditya (Dino), who is a good person at heart but was forced to take the path of
crime due to the wrongdoing of the system.
Prabha goes to Aditya’s house to nab him, but gets carried away when she sees him bathing. Aditya slips from under her vigilant eyes
and a hasty chase follows. Prabha stays close on the heels of fleeing Aditya. At one point when she is about to fall off the rooftop
Aditya stops running and extends his hand to save her. This act makes a great impact on Prabha.
Prabha decides to know Aditya’s past and find out what prompted him to commit crime in the first place. She decides to reform him but
herself gets ‘reformed’ into loving him in the process.
At its core Gunaah is a schmaltzy fare that is riddled with Bollywood stereotypes. The script is over fictitious and full of
oddities that are hard to comprehend. For instance there is a sequence where a skimpily dressed Prabha takes Aditya to his home in the
middle of the night. Purpose – to extract an honest confession from him. Instead of making him confess, she confides in him and what
follows is a raunchy dream sequence.
Bipasha just about manages to play her character but cuts poor show with her highly accented dialogue delivery. But for a few select
facial expressions she is unable to convey complex emotions in her character.
Dino Morea, on the other hand, hardly gets to speak any dialogues in the first half of the film. Although his role in the film is
quite passive, he is given to frequent hamming.
