KATHMANDU: It is all about suspense, thrill and action. Prince as a fast paced thriller has the capacity to excite and captivate audience till the movie ends. This is Vivek Oberoi's solo lead release after a long time and hopefully he will experience some positive change in his career.

The story revolves around a thief robbed of his memory. Prince, one of the quickest and smartest thieves in the world, together with his girlfriend Maya commits a great robbery. But he wakes up one morning and finds gunshot injury on his arm, however, he cannot remember any incident that took place before that day in his life. He begins to search for his identity when he discovers that he had stolen a coin from a man called Sarang (Isaiah). But it is not a simple coin as both Sarang and the police are after him to get the coin. Prince cannot trust anyone; not even his girlfriend Maya as three girls come forward claiming to be Maya. The web of conspiracy spins and Prince finds himself caught even more in the net.

In the first half, Oberoi has delivered a natural performance of a guy who has lost his memory. The way he handles all those gadgets and gizmos is also convincing plus he carries those death defying stunts with ease. However, the actor totally disappoints in the second half.

Aruna Shields not only looks hot but also carries her role well. Though Nandana Sen has very less to do, she is commendable in her part. But Neeru Singh does not have much scope to show her ability in the movie. Isaiah fits the role of the antagonist to a T and Sanjay Kapoor as Officer Khan is praiseworthy.

Director Kookie V Gulati seems promising. Though a visual treat, the movie has some flaws especially in the screenplay. Compared to the first half, the second half of the movie is less convincing. However, the stunts and chase sequences by action director Allan Amin are really enticing. The music by Sachin Gupta is trendy and goes well with thriller mood of the film.

A treat for suspense and thriller movie lovers.
