What happens

8 x 10 Tasveer (transl. '8 x 10 picture') is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film written and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, and produced by Percept Picture Company, starring Akshay Kumar and Ayesha Takia. In the film, an Alberta-based forest ranger uses his mental ability to enter a photograph and re-experience the events from a person's point of view to solve the mystery behind his father's death, believed to be caused by natural reasons. The film co-stars Sharmila Tagore, Jaaved Jaaferi, Anant Mahadevan, Girish Karnad, Benjamin Gilani, Rushad Rana, Andrea Tully, and Pia Shah. It was previously called Tasveer, but changed due to the director's insistence that the title was jinxed. The film's music is composed by Salim–Sulaiman with a title track by Bohemia. The film was released theatrically on 3 April 2009. Following the mixed reception, it became a commercial failure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
