A disappointing year in Bollywood thus far, Bollywood has seen a failure in every genre of film making. Thrillers, family dramas, romances, science fiction, horror they´ve all gone down disappointingly. Director Anees Bazmee who previously directed the super hit re-make of French Kiss is back with his next offer Deewangee. Deewangee was once plagued with problems but couldn´t have found a better time to release as one of the main leads, Ajay Devgan, is having a stupendous year. Not to forget Akshaye Khanna´s hit thriller Humraaz in which he surprised audiences with his negative performance. Akshaye hopes to hit it three in a row (Dil Chahta Hai, Humraaz) before his doomed Love You Hamesha releases soon.

"The performances are the thing to look out for", says Anees. So much so that the director has set up a promotional section on the films promotional website, for each actor. "And why not. The main leads are pure talent". Indeed, even Urmila has been having a year with her last two performances (Om Jai Jagadish, Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya) - negative- being the talk of the town. T-Series who holds the rights to the hit soundtrack were so pleased with Nusrat Badr´s work in Devdas that they roped him in for Deewangee. While Salim Bijnori has composed the lyrics for most of the soundtrack, Nusrat shows great versatility with his scintillating "Hai Ishq Khata", "Deewangee" and "Ai Ajnabi". Ismail Darbar has also bounced back from an atrocious outing with Shakti - The Power. The songs for Deewangee, especially "Hai Ishq Khata" and the techno semi-qawaali "Saasein Hi Saasein" have already caught up greatly with the masses.

After romancing movie star and singer Sargam (Urmila) the two decide they will spend the rest of their lives together. Sargam is worried, however, for her friend Tarang Bharadwaj. Tarang and Sargam are long close friends. Tarang has composed for some of Sargam´s biggest hits. Tarang´s trouble is that he was found and seen murdering Ashwin Mehta (Vijayendra Ghatge). Not only was his body at the crime scene but he was dosed with blood and his fingerprints were all over the utilities used to stab Ashwin repeatedly.

Tarang vows his innocence and explains what actually happen but the only who can help him is Raj. Sargam pleas to Raj to help him and Raj eventually does. But, as Raj and Tarang get closer and learn more about the occurrences, Raj realizes that he must find the real killer. He sets out on a venture that turns out more dangerous than the crime that was committed. As the line in the film says, "What started as a murder becomes more dangerous than the crime committed". Who is the murderer? But more importantly who will survive to find it out?
