What happens

Musafir (transl. Traveller) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir action thriller film written, directed and produced by Sanjay Gupta, starring Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Sameera Reddy, Aditya Pancholi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Shakti Kapoor, and introducing Koena Mitra in her film debut. The film was mostly shot in Goa. Musafir was released on 10 December 2004. A remake of the 1997 American film U Turn, it was initially controversial due to some sexual content, but went on to receive positive reviews from critics, with some considering it to be better than the original film. Oliver Stone, the director of U Turn, also appreciated the film. However, it was a commercial failure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
