When two young hospitality students, Sahil Mehra and Mittee Deora, meet in a college in Shimla, it's apparently instant love for the two. But, is love as innocent and real as it seems? Perhaps not!
Sahil Mehra (Vardhan Puri) is your quintessential small-town boy -- docile, demure and someone you take home to meet your folks. And Mittee Deora (Shivaleeka Oberoi) is this big-city beauty, who is a smooth-talker and a charmer. They meet in college, fall in love and bam... starts a series of dark, twisted and very gripping chain of bizarre events.
This tale of warped and convoluted love is a story that deserves to be told. Vardhan (who is also the co-writer) has pulled off the different facets of his on-screen persona -- that of a soft-spoken guy hopelessly in love, an angry young man bubbling with revenge, a funny lad adding humour to the darkness, a sinner and the one who has been sinned against -- with equal and utmost ease. He owns the show from the first frame to the last, never losing his grip. The Puri scion is brilliant both as a first-time writer and a debutant actor. Vardhan romances with all heart and spews venom with all might. Shivaleeka, on the other hand, seems a little clueless at the start, but surprises during the second half. A note to her stylist: should have given the actress better clothes to wear!
