Cast: Akshay

Director: Abbas Mustan
Music: Himesh Reshammiya
Priya (Kareena Kapoor) is a young graduate who
is about to apply for her first job at a lawyers’
office. As she arrives for the interview, she cannot remember
the house number. She ends up going to Raj Malhotra’s
(Akshay Kumar) house and assumes he is the lawyer. Raj is
looking for a maid and assumes that Priya has come for that
job. Eventually Raj figures out the truth and is now scared
to tell Priya, as he is in love with her and doesn’t
want her to leave him. Priya eventually finds out the truth
too and swindles a confession out of Raj.
The two get married and begin
their lives together. Raj works for a cellular phone company
and at the company’s anniversary meeting, promotions
are being announced. Mr. Roy (Amrish Puri) arrives along
with his wife, the very young Sonia (Priyanka Chopra). Sonia
is the new boss and is the one who decides who gets the
promotions. Raj is disappointed when his friend gets the
job he was hoping to get. Then comes the announcement from
Sonia that the newest member of the Board of Directors is
Raj.
Sonia is very flirtatious with
Raj and makes advances towards him. Raj ignores Sonia and
is committed to his wife, Priya. Sonia is not going to stand
back and get turned down by Raj, she forces herself on him
and reluctantly Raj gives in but then he catches a glimpse
of the charm (a picture of Priya) on his necklace and he
backs away. The next day, Raj is called into Sonia’s
office where Mr. Roy is waiting for him. Raj is confronted
with the allegation of raping Sonia and is told to sign
a resignation letter and leave the company.
Raj refuses to sign the resignation
letter and walks out of the office. His co-workers overheard
everything and now they believe he raped Sonia. The issue
goes to court and both sides are armed and ready to fight
to the end. Will the truth about Raj and Sonia come out?
What will become of Priya? Find out when you watch “Aitraaz”.
I think this is Priyanka’s
best performance to date. Akshay and Kareena are okay but
some of their scenes together were really cheesy. The soundtrack
is a must have especially for songs like “Gela, Gela”,
“Yeh Dil Tumpe Aa Gaya” and “Tala Tum”.
Akshay and Kareena can be seen in the upcoming movie “Bewafaa”
and Priyanka’s next release is “Blackmail”.
