Nothing special about Taakat

Nothing special about Taakat

Rediff.com22 May 2009

Taakat ends up as a weak film with a predictable story line and narration. Vijay is good in the action sequences while Shubha Poonja has nothing much to offer. Avinash scores in his role. Music by Guru Kiran is ordinary.
