The action sequences, especially the climax ones are mind blowing.

Ek Hasina Thi' starts with the charming, handsome Karan (who claims to be a sort of financial whiz) sweeping Sarika off her feet.
When the truth finally dawns on her, helped by a female associate played by Pratima Kazmi (once again delivering a brilliant, understated performance), Sarika transforms herself from a meek to a hard-as-nails-girl.

Ek Hasina Thi' is a very well crafted, pacy movie with slick editing and towering performances by the lead cast.
Please note that a detailed review of 'Ek Hasina Thi' will be online tomorrow.
