RATING:
*****

A remarkable film and a change from the usual love stories.

This story is about a serial killer who works as a postman and goes around raping and brutally murdering innocent 'home alone' women.

At one time, his path crosses with identical twins and he brutally murders one. The other girl is determined to catch him.

When she discovers the serial killer, the girl reports him and takes him to court, but he gets out unscathed from law for want to proof. Now she tracks him and obstructs his other kills. The serial killer now becomes enraged and targets her.

At the same time, the girl plans to get her own justice. And here in, you see the transformation of an innocent girl into a weapon. That is what Dushman is all about.

The film is remarkable with above average cinematography. Kajol plays her role with ease and Sanjay Dutt is impressive. But who takes the cake is Ashutosh Rana as the hateful vile man.

It is the histrionics of these lead actors that makes

Dushman the film that it is. Surely worth a dekho.
