Moh, Maya, Money

Cast: Neha Dhupia Ranvir Shorey, Vidhushi Mehra

Rated: 4/10

A dark, wannabe thriller the high point of which is Ranvir Shorey and to some extent the back from beyond Neha Dhupia. An odd pair, you would say and rightly so. As husband and wife, they are uncomfortable with each other and cheating on each other in different kind of ways — she with another man and he with snitching on his boss and tying up with the bad land sharks, clandestine money and illegal deals.

The film is a cross between a thriller and negative human relationships and thus goes here and there before finally building up as a murder, fraud action film. Shorey, the ultimate middle class man hating middle class, cheats his office to do land deals with commissions on the side — till he lands in trouble after being discovered and sacked.

The film builds on the slim moments it has and the relationship issue between the lead pair takes up too much time for the action to open up. There’s a dirty murder, an insurance fraud and also a clandestine abortion, a pregnant wife and a happy go lucky film producer.

On the whole, a different but slow mover.
