MAYBE they have a reason for going up against Kaante. That reason maybe that whilst Kaante is a boys flic this one will have them weeping in the aisles.

It is a sad tale but how many times have we seen the love triangle gone horribly wrong. Far too many I'd say.

Sonny Deol plays Sooraj, a bit of an alcoholic whose life turns upside down one day when he meets Sapna (Shilpa Shetty) who moves in with to Shipla. Our man Sooraj perdictably falls in love with her and sets about reforming himself.

All seems well until his best friend Raja (Sunil Shetty) disrupts everything and events take a turn for the worse when Raja reveals his true feelings for Sapna.

At this stage you might think it's all going to end in tears with one sacrificing his true feeling for his best mate. But we soon find out that both Raja and Sooraj are brothers. And that Sooraj was abandoned by his mother and father.

A tearful reunion takes place but the reason for his abandonment remains a mystery. The acting is average but Sunil excels as the spoiled child who has everything but wants even more including, of course, the girl who lives with long lost brother.

A familiar story with familiar faces but worth a watch if you get sick of all the action coming your way this Christmas.
