This is a remake from the english movie Hilton Bangkok which stars the ravishing Nicole Kiddman, but wait you have to watch both of them and see that after the 3 parts of Hilton Bangok finishes and the 3 hours of Gumrah is finish which actress you will remember, Sridevi or Nicole? For sure the Devi gave a new touch and magic to the character Nicole played. Roshni was the next door girl, the shy girl who doesnt know who her father (Anupam) is and where is he. Then suddenly after meeting Rahul she becomes the successful singer going from Bombay to Delhi etc... And there you can see Sanjay Dutt's obsession to her, then when she knows that her father is in Hong Kong she will be caught there as a drug smuggler and this is after Rahul had put coccain in her bag. and there goes Sanjay Dutt and meet her father Anupam then they try to help her without telling her that Anupam is her father, but when everything seems to fail Sanjay try to escape her from jail and they succeed. The movie's main character is Roshni which is played by Sridevi and the lady gave a wonderful performance, but that doesnt mean that the others were not good. Both Anupam Kher and Sanjay Dutt did a good justice to their roles.
