I never even knew about this work by RGV & KSS with direction by Sriram R and sounds by Dwarak. I happened to catch it on one of those 24hr movie channels and what a fresh piece of work it... Full review
From the production house of Ram Gopal Varma comes another powerful film about love, hatred, passion and revenge. "Ek Hasina Thi" is director Sriram Raghavan's debut film but you wouldn't be able to tell that after viewing this film. He... Full review

The styling of the film is extremely poor excluding that of Himesh's. The basic premise of this film is even exciting for anyone of today's generation. The action sequences, especially the climax ones are mind blowing. ... Full Review

The film, Raghavan admits, will be massive in scale. I enjoyed working with Urmila Matondkar and Saif Ali Khan. I will have to learn the art of multi-tasking from Ramu because I can only do one film at a time. ... Full Review
