  If you’re unable to relate to the film, well the blame is not all yours. This Sridevi and Akshay Kumar starrer had been announced years back and has taken all this while in the making. The film got delayed to reach the theatres as it was shelved in between. Though the package is not bad, but stuffs stored in cans ought to go stale and this is what happens with this film too. For the 21st Century audience, the film will have hard finders. The actors’ look out of place and so does their dubbed voices.

The film narrates the story of Durga (Sridevi) an outspoken, playful and a courageous village girl. She is married to her sweetheart Ajay (Akshay Kumar) who is an inspector and comes to city along with her husband. Being born and bred in the village manner she is very talkative, is always curious to know about everybody staying in her locality and always interferes in their lives. Her qualities are a reason for embarrassment for her husband but rests all’s well with their married life. She is very friendly and rather her good friend in the area is a woman who runs a pan-beedi shop in the basti. She is very righteous and destroys a bar and beats up many goons.

Ajay is a brave and honest Police Inspector who intends to eliminate people working for gangster Bhairav (Anupam Kher). Bhairav attacks press editors and harvests kidneys from poor people. D.S.P.Chaurasia (Kiran Kumar) Ajay’s senior officer is corrupt  and has friendly relations with Bhairav and is always helping him. It happens so that the bar that Durga breaks actually belongs to Bhairav. And so Bhairav sets Chaurasia after her to kill her.

Durga makes Radha and her brother Ballu (Gulshan Grover) her friends. Radha is kidnapped and is forced into prostitution, as she loves Bhairav’s son Shyam. Durga on learning about it saves her. Chaurasia grills them at the moment and drags both of them in the court on the charges of prostitution. Ajay is sent out of the town for some assignment during that moment. The rest of the film deals how Durga comes clean from the allegations. The climax is very poor.

Sridevi with her good comic timing and vibrancy on the screen does spark up the film. The film is worth a watch only because of her. But her screaming ‘Sajanva’ every second does get in nerves. Along side her Akshay Kumar fails to make any impact. He plays a cop for the umpteen times here and infuses nothing new to his role. His chemistry with Sridevi also doesn’t click and he looks pretty mediocre. Technically also the film is a letdown owing to its dubbing, sloppy songs and overacting by rest of the actors.
