What happens

Tashan (transl. 'Style) is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language action masala film written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya in his directorial debut, and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. It stars Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Anil Kapoor. The story follows a call centre executive, a gangster's aide, and a con woman involved in a chaotic pursuit across India. Principal photography took place in Ladakh, Rajasthan, Kerala, and Haridwar, with additional sequences filmed in Greece. Tashan was released on 25 April 2008 and received mixed reviews from critics who praised the music, visuals, and Kumar’s performance, but criticised the screenplay and tone. The film underperformed at the box office but gained a cult following over time, particularly for its soundtrack and stylized presentation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
