Movie : Kasoor Producer:
Mukesh Bhatt The Story
KASOOR stars Lisa Ray as an attorney, Simran Bhargav, who reluctantly takes on the case of powerful publishing magnate, Shekhar Saxena (Aftab Shivdasani), accused of committing the grisly murders of his wife and maid. Simran tells Shekhar that she'll defend him only if she is convinced that he is innocent. Simran is also battling her inner demons over a case in which she got a man convicted for crime he had not committed. Her guilt increases when she learns that the innocent guy had committed suicide in custody. Shekhar plots to win his lawyer´s trust by seducing her, after which she believes in his innocence and fights for his cause. Simran succeeds in winning the case. The following morning after spending the night with Shekhar, Simran finds in his closet a typewriter that holds the key to the mystery of the murders, and disproves Shekhar´s innocence. Simran, feeling betrayed, finds herself caught in a web of seduction, malice, and murder. Nadeem-Shravan's music is an asset, although a few numbers remind you of the songs they had come up with in their hey days. Yet, the numbers that stand out are 'Kitni Bechain Hoke', 'Jo Meri Rooh Ko' and 'Dekha Jo Tumko'. Sameer's lyrics deserve special mention. What's even more heartening is that the songs are also well promoted.
All in all, Mukesh Bhatt´s Kasoor packs a certain amount of punch with its fantastic plot, great music, and a swell performance from Aftab, but could have been in a whole other league with a different director like Mahesh Bhatt. Vikram Bhatt showed a great deal of talent with Fareb, in which he took a cast of all newcomers and made a great film, which managed to do good business at the box office, suprising everyone. He was also helped by fantastic music and a fine performance by main lead Suman Ranganathan. Kasoor doesn´t disappoint, but is brought down by its screenplay in the second half and, sadly, Lisa Ray. Still, Kasoor is worth a viewing .

KASOOR,
directed by Vikram Bhatt, is a suspense thriller about crime, punishment
and passion. 
Pravin
Bhatt's cinematography is matchless and the locales of Switzerland
are a visual delight. The background music (Daboo Malik) augments
the impact of numerous sequences. Dialogues (Girish Dhamija) are
of a superior quality.
