One Line Review: As the title suggests: It's a cautionary, to be viewed at your own risk.

Positive Points: Scenic appearance of the ocean, realism to the dramatic scenes, rare dust of thrill sprinkled around

Negative Points: Unnecessary use of 3D effect, stretched out scenes, poor direction on the thrill aspect, predictable show

Plot: The curtains raise up as Fatty (Varun Sharma) sends a message to his old pals on Facebook . Soon one of them, Bakshi (Santosh Barmola) who's been missing for year calls up Fatty and invites him up with the rest of others to Fiji for a reunion. As decided all of the invitees consisting of (Sumit Suri), (Madhurima Tuli), Sabrina (Manjari Phadnis) along with her hubby (Jitin Gulati) and their toddler land up on the marvelous land of Fiji. Soon then Bakshi's visible on a yacht with a sizzling blonde (Suzana Rodrigues). First the gang has a blast on the beach and later as Bakshi had in his mind, sails off into the sea without letting other know about it. On waking up they discover the yacht is moving. With a small time debate they all settle down, and the blonde decides to take a dip into the sea. The actual twist lies here with one after the other join in to jump into the sea.

But as destiny had the hydrophobic Sabrina is forcefully dragged into the ocean apart from her kid who's still resting aboard by Bakshi. This party fever makes them forget that the ladder hanging down has mistakenly pulled up, leaving them no way out of the ocean. The whole saga of survival fear kick starts soon after. Adding up to their bad fate swims along a hungry shark that runs a cold shiver down their spine. Past finding themselves struck in the middle of no where, the struggle unfolds to get aboard for survival.

Direction and Other Technical Aspects: Director Gurmmeet Singh had tried to grab an interesting subject with a wholesome of underwater treat. Sheer apart from floating into the sea the film just don't have else to offer. As considered one of the strongest technical aspect, the 3D dimension; it's just a piece of amuse to increase the excitement level which was far better to be avoided. The first half captures an average amount of 3D feel, whereas the second half is near to blur out the vision. It even forces you to take off that 3D glasses for a broke-down check! The directorial part till the first half sails pretty well but the second half just starts sinking in to capture the raising oceanic waves which makes the viewers yawn and disinterested to view the more so predictable tale. The director has tried his best to match the Hollywood standard thrills in promos, merely the actual reel has ended up serving a platter of Bollywood emotions with not much of breath stopping moments. Apart from this the deadly shark shown roaming around adds on the misery really doesn't harm anyone until the last frame which garnishes sheer disappointment.

Performances: The film binds up a bundle of fresh talent apart from just few films old Manjari Phadnis and the one film wonder Varun Sharma. Manjari who essays a role of a hydrophobic girl along with a caring mother does justice to her character. Her underwater sequences as drowning down and struggling hard for a breath doesn't look fake thus feels natural.

Varun too plays safe with his naughty avatar as essayed earlier. He has not much to display but being one among the seniors in the category he attracts the viewers at par. Whereas concerned about the rest of the fresh arrivals just two out of the bunch seems to possess the potential to make it to the shore, Santosh Barmola and Madhurima Tuli. The couple have faced the camera for the first time but they don't sound to be doing this for the prototype. The confidence and attitude carried on by the duo in flow of their respective characters, turns out to be quite impressive for a first timer. The rest are better not to be discussed . With a suggestion to brush up their skills well before they face the camera for a ordinal.

Music: The film has four tracks to offer, of which only one grabs a bit of potential to hit the charts. The song "Tell me how much" sung by Mika Singh is not that popular but clasps the capacity to stay at the back of your head for a while. The rest two, "Bebasi" and "Taakedein" plays along with the film and better suits the situations respectively, yet making hard for the listeners to remember it. Whereas, the track "Chikadanga" simply drains down the entertainment quotient. The background score given by composers Toshi Sabri and Sharib Sabri is good enough to add up a feel to the dramatic scenes. Overall the music is average and can be heard, if wish to.

Final Verdict: The promo might offer you Hollywood type of a feel but the actual motion bangs you back into Bollywood. Planning to view it for a breath taking 3D experience, then better hold on and await for some other treat in this category or revisit 'Life of Pi' instead.
