Sushmita Sen has long been admired and desired for her ethereal beauty. The former Miss Universe has a captivating persona and a charming demeanor which adds to her physical attributes. Most of the people remember her from Main Hoon Na\u2019s chemistry teacher who walks in slow motion, draped in exquisite chiffon sarees with wind piercing her silky hairs making them swirl like flora dancing to the power of the wind. Considering her career trajectory in the Hindi film industry, one can\u2019t help but notice her beauty overpowering the acting skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very few remember her jaw dropping performance in Samay(2003) but many celebrate her as damsel in distress from Biwi no 1. Most of her directors captured her enchanting pulchritude but never presented the actress within her. Thankfully, Ram Madhvani, Sandeep Modi are not one of those directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set in posh mansions and palaces of Jaipur, the story follows a rich powerful family which owns a pharmaceutical company as a facade to surreptitiously run their illegal drug empire. At the centre of it is Aarya played by Sushmita Sen, who must make the necessary and immoral decisions after taking up the charge of her illegal family business to protect her children after her husband is shot by an unknown assassin. Her husband \u2018Tej\u2019, played by Chandrachur Singh, owns the company jointly with a family friend Jawahar played by Namit Das and Aarya\u2019s brother Sangram played by Ankur Bhatia. The family has several dark secrets which comes out throughout the procession of the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guns, violence, deception, murder, betrayal, lies, investigation, suspense and tragedy are all essential elements of this dysfunctional family whose old patriarch \u2018Zorawar\u2019 played by Jayant Kriplani can leap to any length for protecting his empire. Apart from Aarya and Sangram, he with his former spouse Rajeshwari (Sohaila Kriplani) also has the youngest daughter Saundarya played by Priyasha Bhardwaj. Saundarya is married to an english guy named Bob(Richard Klein), a Sanskrit enthusiast who is intertwining rock with the Bhagavad Gita\u2019s verses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those lines from the holy scripture are used to flesh out the psyche and motives of the characters which play an integral role to drive the narrative forward. There is also a flamboyant business rival and a lethal gangster named Shekhawat played by Manish Chaudhary,family\u2019s right hand man Daulat(Sikander Kher),a police official ACP Khan,  Zorawar\u2019s young wife Radhika(Flora Saini), Sangram\u2019s girlfriend Hina(Sugandha Garg) and Jawahar\u2019s wife Maya played by Maya Sarao. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
