Soch is a physiological thriller that revolves around Raj Mathew (Sanjay Kapoor) a rising film star with a serious problem - he is madly in love with his wife, Mahulika (Aditi Gowatriker).
But she is very suspicious of him! Why? Because she is obsessed with the 'thought' that he is unfaithful to her.

Raveena Tandon and Sanjay Kapoor who play the roles of a film actress and a director respectively are given awards by Mr Khurshid.
Performances by all the lead stars have been average but its Arbaaz Khan who steals the show by his breathtaking negative role as the psychopathic Om. He is sure to get notice in Bollywood. Lets hope that we see more of his talent on screen in the next few months.

Of the female cast, Raveen Tandon has done a superb job throughout as a choreographer who faces life with great confidence during times of danger.
Overall this suspense flick which evoked great curiosity when it was made because of its novel idea and plot has managed to get a decent opening at the box office.
