From Sanjay Gadhvi, the master-director of mega blockbusters like Dhoom and Dhoom: 2, Kidnap is a high-octane
edge-of-the-seat drama about a power tussle between a young boy and the father of the girl he kidnaps.
Sonia (Minissha Lamba – Bachna Ae Haseeno) lives with her mother, Mallika (Vidya Malvade – Chak Dey India)
and grandmother because her parents divorced when she was ten. A week before her eighteenth birthday
celebration, she gets kidnapped.
The abductor, Kabir (Imran Khan – Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) is interested in speaking only to her father, Vikrant
Raina (Sanjay Dutt), an affluent New York-based Indian businessman, with whom he has an old score to settle.
Vikrant returns to India to retrieve his daughter from Kabir's clutches but has to carry out a series of daunting tasks
set out by Kabir as a condition to rescue her. At the end of each task is a clue that helps Vikrant in coming closer
to Sonia.
Is his mission as easy as it seems? How far will a father go to save his daughter? What redemption is there for
Kabir at the end?
Sanjay Dutt's first release of 2008, co-starring the latest teen sensation, Imran Khan, Kidnap makes for compelling
viewing as the big festival release on Eid. It features music by Pritam.
