I am a fan of Shyamalan and was excited about this but honestly after watching this crapfest, my wife and I were extremely disappointed. Everything is so convenient when characters want things to be. Everything is Illogical and non-sensical!
The police and security are a joke - I would end up giving away spoilers for those who still want to watch this, but all I can say is, things like these won't even happen in a fantasy movie for kids!
And the acting, particularly of Miss Shyamalan is one dimensional and for lack of a better word, terrible.
The rest of the actors are adequate at best. The actress who lays Reiley's mom is probably the best.
Stay away and save your precious time!

The film began with Shekhar Kapur as sole director and ended up being completed by three directors, all having different sensibilities and levels of talent. The end result is a patchy film, with many continuity issues. Also, the lead actors looked different across the duration of the film due to delays.
The only redeeming factor for this mess of a film is Anand-Milind's superb musical score, particularly the qawali, Mera Salaam (Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurthy), Banno Teri Ankhiyan (Sapna Avasti) and my favorite, Kabhi Hanste Hain (S. P. Balasubramanyam and Kavita Krishnamurthy). Shekhar Kapur had a keen year for music and that has been proven with all his films - finished or unfinished by him.
Performance wise, Sunny Deol was a little inconsistent, confused between the romantic track and the action sequences. Jackie Shroff appears earnest but his character wasn't as fleshed out as one would have liked it to be. Manisha Koirala signed this film when she was fresh out of Saudagar and looks beautiful. Anupam Kher was okay, as was Deepti Naval.
Overall, the film looks dated, patchy, incomplete and amateurish. Music aside, nothing to write about.
