DEEWANE is a
romantic triangle. Sapna (Urmila Matondkar) is in love with Inspector Vishal (Ajay
Devgan)and Ajay being a tough cop has no time for her.Suddenly
there is a twist in the story when his enemies shoot him and he slips into a coma. To maintain
the terror in the eyes of gangsters, the Police Commissioner (Shivaji
Satam) brings Arun(a petty thief) look-alike of Vishal, from
Shimla to take the place of Vihsal.
Arun falls
for the charms of Sapna, inspite of having an admirer
Pooja(Mahima Chowdhry)
The story again takes a turn when Vishal gets cured and walks
back to his house. The Commissioner reveals the true identity of
Arun to the entire household, including Sapna, who is shocked to
learn the truth. But as time passes, Sapna realises that
her heart yearns not for Vishal, but Arun. |

Unlike
numerous bollywood movies where the twist is always revealed towards the
climax, here it is earlier and that sustains the viewer's
interest to some extent.
The film stretches on for too long and too many songs add
up to the nuisance. Even the climax has been stretched
too much.
The villains look more like buffoons and even
their menacing act fails to terrorize. Otherwise, Harry handles
the dramatic scenes with maturity, displaying a flair for
subjects that have ample scope for romance and emotions.
Sanjeev-Darshan's music is pleasing. The numbers that make
pleasant listening are 'Qayamat' and 'Jogiya'. The picturisation of both the
songs deserve special mention. Cinematography is really good. The
locales of New Zealand and Australia add up to the visual treat.
Ajay
Devgun gives a refined performance and the actor is indeed growing
up to be a real mature performer.
Urmila Matondkar looks very fresh,
dances with grace and gives the right expressions throughout.
Mahima Chaudhary's seems to be on a passing phase in films since
she is offered only a special appearance.
On the whole 'Deewane' is worth a miss while Devgun fans can
have a time pass.
