Vivek Oberoi and Aruna Shields in "Prince"

How will you feel while getting up from the bed with a gunshot as well as amnesia? Prince (Vivek Oberoi) is the most high profile thief in the world who becomes the right hand man of South Africa's biggest don, Sarang (Isaiah).

Forgotten past

After three months of working with Sarang he loses his memory and gets up to a world where everyone whom he meets asks him “Where is the coin?” He meets three different girls (Aruna Shields, Neeru Bajwa, Nandana Sen), each of them identifying themselves as his girlfriend, Maya. The coin is not just a simple coin but one that contains a chip that if gets into the wrong hands can have dangerous repercussions. The special team (I.G.R.I.P) from India, the C.B.I., Sarang and Sarang's arch rival, Sherry (Rajesh Khattar) are all behind that coin. Prince's effort to get back his memory and find the coin forms the rest of the plot.

Good performance

Kookie V. Gulati has made a wonderful film but his style of story-telling isn't very impressive. The movie lacks a platform on which it can be run for three hours.

The story doesn't seem to be connected right. However, the action sequences shot in beautiful locations of Durban, South Africa, are a big plus.

Death-defying stunts by Vivek Oberoi are also very impressive. The director who is directing an action thriller for the first time seems experienced. Allan Amin, the action director has done a superb job and deserves applause. Sachin Gupta, the music director, has also done a good job.

Vivek Oberoi is very impressive and is mind-blowing. Aruna Shields, Neeru Bajwa and Nandana Sen have performed well. Isaiah is exhilarating. Sanjay Kapoor, Dalip Tahil, Mayur Puri and Mohit Chauhan play small yet significant roles.

Bottomline: The movie is good and lives up to expectations. It is a must watch for all the fans of Vivek Oberoi and action films. With a racy plot, the movie is an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Go watch it!
