Like the storm after a calm, Esha Deol returns with Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne, directed by Sangeeth Sivan. Sanjay Khan´s son, Zayed Khan, who happens to be superstar Hrithik Roshan´s brother in law makes his debut in the film. It tells the story of  a guy called Vijay (Zayed Khan) who meets Tina (Esha Deol) in Goa, where cupid strikes them. One morning, Tina is summoned to Bangkok, Thailand, where she is told that her uncle has been killed in an accident. Vijay follows her there and offers to help.

Tina is called to the Indian embassy in Bangkok and warned by Deepak Chopra (Salil Ankola), the official there, that her late uncle was wanted in India for a Rs. 10 crore heist. The rest of his gang is also in Bangkok to get the money. Then three of her late uncle`s accomplices – Om (Gulshan Grover), Sheena (Rakhi Sawant) and Chingaar (Vijay Raaz) – begin to harass her. Tina looks to Vijay for help. At this point, Tina discovers that Vijay is not what he seems and on confrontation, he confesses that his name actually is Prakash Yogi and that he is the brother of a fourth accomplice of her uncle.

Tina is now caught in a ring of suspense as she is followed by the shadowy trio, all after the money, believing that Tina holds the key to the fortune, although she really knows next to nothing of the heist. Tina doesn`t know where to turn to as two of the shadowy trio, Chingaar and Sheena, show up dead and the mystery deepens. When you`ve a star-son making his debut, the expectations multiply manifold. Although the film has its share of plusses and minuses, one person who leaves quite an impression at the end of the show is Zayed Khan.

The film entertains, but in parts. Though it has engrossing story line but it loses its grip in between. Climax is well shot and it is the high point of the film too. The romantic angle between Zayed and Esha needed a bit more fillip. Sangeeth Sivan has handled a few sequences with dexterity. Himesh Reshammiya`s music is just okay. Zayed Khan impresses despite his debut effort. He is a good dancer and fares well in the action sequences too. Esha Deol is okay. Gulshan Grover is competent. On the whole, Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne has it`s highs and lows. Those who are looking forward to check out this new kid on the block, it`s worth a watch.
