Genre: Action, Thriller, Suspense Setting: Durban, South Africa
The Plot:
The story revolves around two stepbrothers, Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Rajiv Singh (Akshaye Khanna), who live a life of luxury in Durban, South Africa. They own a sprawling horse-racing business and stud farm. Note: This section assumes a 2022 Blu-ray release
The Conflict Despite their wealth, the brothers have a strained relationship. Ranvir is the responsible, intelligent, and ruthless businessman who runs the empire. Rajiv is an alcoholic and a womanizer who resents being dependent on his older brother. Their life takes a dark turn when Rajiv falls in love with a model named Sonia (Bipasha Basu).
Rajiv wants to marry Sonia, but his allowance isn't enough to support her lavish lifestyle. Greed consumes him, and he hatches a devious plan: he decides to murder his brother Ranvir to inherit the entire estate. To execute this, he conspires with his girlfriend Sonia, promising her a share of the wealth.
The "Accident" Rajiv and Sonia stage a car accident to kill Ranvir. They succeed—or so they think. Ranvir drives his car off a cliff in a spectacular sequence, but his body is never found. The police, led by the comical but sharp Inspector Robert D'Costa (Anil Kapoor) and his assistant Mini (Sameera Reddy), investigate the case. The Climax In a stunning courtroom (and warehouse)
The Twists Begin Just as Rajiv is celebrating his newfound wealth and freedom, the twists begin. The insurance company refuses to pay the claim because Ranvir's body was never recovered. Furthermore, Ranvir’s lawyer reveals that Ranvir had taken out a massive life insurance policy.
Suddenly, Ranvir returns. He didn't die; he survived the crash. Rajiv is terrified, but Ranvir claims he has amnesia regarding the accident. However, Ranvir privately reveals to Rajiv that he knows exactly what happened. He blackmails Rajiv, forcing him to sign over power of attorney.
The Double Crosses This is where the movie lives up to its name. The story becomes a complex web of deceit:
The Climax In a stunning courtroom (and warehouse) climax, it is revealed that the entire "death" of Ranvir was an elaborate setup to frame Rajiv. However, the movie has one final, massive twist.
Spoiler Alert for the ending: It turns out that Sophia was actually in cahoots with Rajiv. They had planned to kill the real Ranvir. However, in a final confrontation on a burning airplane runway, the truth comes out. Ranvir outsmarts everyone. He reveals that he knew of Sophia and Rajiv’s affair and their plan to kill him. In the end, Ranvir survives, kills Rajiv (who falls to his death), and clears his name, proving that he is the ultimate player in this game of death.
