Even 'Crook' had one such episode where the leading lady (Neha Sharma) felt cheated after finding Emraan Hashmi in the arms of an Australian gori. Just when one felt that the film would show a massive escalation in the second half, 'Blood Money' gets into a predictable zone due to which one does feel a tad disappointed.įor starters, the entire Mia Uyeda and the adultery episode has been done to death in quite a few films, not to mention many films coming from Bhatts themselves. There isn't much time wasted by getting the hero and the heroine into a 'naach gaana' mode and the drama stays focused on the 'diamond' business and the nexus involved. Let's admit it, 'Blood Money' starts off well and introduction scenes pretty much establish each of the characters well too. What one does miss though is the punch in the affair that stays constant for the entire duration of the film.

One can well see that first time director Vishal Mahadkar has been clearly inspired by Vishesh Films school of movie making and is following the formula that has been consolidated by the likes of Vikram Bhatt and Mohit Suri. However what one doesn't miss right through the film's narrative is a distinct Bhatt feel to it. The difference here though is that while Emraan Hashmi was carrying a negative streak to him for most part of the film, Kunal takes time to loose his righteous side, only to announce a return in a much faster time period. The film is as 'template ready' as it gets and at times does remind one of 'Jannat'. Of course there is the middle act where Kunal lets go off his conscience, only to emerge as the one who would battle it all out in the third act.
In the middle of this all there is another evil man (Sandeep Sikand). Expectedly his wife (Amrita Puri) is not too happy with the developments but the lure of 'bangla', 'gaadi' and 'ladki' (in this case, Mia Uyeda) is good enough to stray our leading man.
Kunal Khemu is a honest professional who gets sucked into the world of corporate crime as he joins hands with a bigwig (Manish Chaudhary). The promos have pretty much established the storyline of 'Blood Money'.
