STORY – his tale of warped and convoluted love is a story that deserves to be told. Vardhan (who is also the co-writer) has pulled off the different facets of his on-screen persona — that of a soft-spoken guy hopelessly in love, an angry young man bubbling with revenge, a funny lad adding humour to the darkness, a sinner and the one who has been sinned against — with equal and utmost ease. He owns the show from the first frame to the last, never losing his grip. The Puri scion is brilliant both as a first-time writer and a debutant actor. Vardhan romances with all heart and spews venom with all might. Shivaleeka, on the other hand, seems a little clueless at the start, but surprises during the second half. A note to her stylist: should have given the actress better clothes to wear!
