Neha
Chopra (Karima Kapoor),a young interior designer is hired by Major
Jai Singh Dabral (Jackie Shroff).
She
is to redecorate his bungalow on the scenic hill station town of
Nainital.
But
young Neha is unaware that Nainital harbours a serial killer and
he has already chosen her as the next victim.
Who
is this killer? Can it be Mayor Jai Singh Dabral or Neha’s new neighbour/
playboy Raj Singh (Dino Morea)?
Or
can it be police inspector Harshvardhan (Sunil Shetty)?
What’s
more, all three are in love with the beautiful Neha. Which
only means one thing - one wants to make her his prey whilst the
other two want to save her from the hands of this maniac!
Preeti
Rastogi (Preeti Jhangiani) is the local police officer. She becomes
a close pal of Neha as she settles down in her new environment.
But
Preeti life line is short lived when she discovers the true identity
of killer.
The
film takes an interesting turn from here on, when the winner of
a beauty contest (Aditi Gowitrikar) is brutally murdered. And
the serial killer mistakably leaves behind a needle and a dagger
as evidence.
Up
to this point the director manages to build up the suspense.
But
the film slows down considerably after this scene as it shows the
Neha's involvment with playboy, Raj Singh.
As
the interval point approaches, tension mounts one more time again
as Neha finds the killing instruments in none other than her boyfriend’s
apartment.
Has
she finally found the true killer? Well watch Baaz to find out whether
this bird is really in danger!
Overall
the film falters in various parts as the director tries to pay too
much attention to the negative sides of the characters in order
to keep the audience guessing.
The
background score by Ismail Darbar manages to increase the tension
but it does not provide the same effect in the song and dance sequences.
Normally
a haunting melody is required in a thriller and this is difficult
to find in Baaz. So the songs appear out of place with the story.
On
the whole Baaz serves as a good past time flick especially if you
are a die hard Karisma Kapoor fan.
