 Movie Review : Aitraaz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
AITRAAZ tackles the issue of sexual harassment, with the unique spin of placing the man in the position of victim and the woman as aggressor.
Yes, AITRAAZ has an adult theme - that of an adulterous, deceitful and treacherous woman - but you can still watch this challenging theme with your mother, wife, sister and daughter, without squirming in your seat.
On the whole, AITRAAZ is a well-crafted thriller that meets the expectations.

Aitraaz’s script writers (Shiraz Ahmed and Shyam Goel) create a situation, present a sympathetic protagonist and a thoroughly-dislikeable vamp, bend and twist the plot, then come up with a resolution that barely passes muster.
Kapoor despite being saddled with a smallish role shines through brightly earning her big moment in the courtroom sequence where she brings the evil Sonia to her heels.
Dramatically, Aitraaz is potent, but it isn't drama that directors Abbas and Mustan are striving for.

 Aitraaz music review : glamsham.com
Produced under the illustrious banner of Mukta Arts, Aitraaz carries the International undergo and rightly so, as the movie seems to be greatly inspired from the Hollywood Blockbuster 'Disclosure'.
The music of Aitraaz moves from being emblematic Himesh harmonies to a mix of contemporary fast-paced beats, which is totally need based.
The pleasant and delightful melody of Himesh's music is somehow missing in Aitraaz such that not one track really grows on you unless you force yourself to them and/or vice-versa.

 Aitraaz movie review : glamsham.com
In "Aitraaz", Abbas-Mustan rip clever pages out of "Disclosure" and construct a yarn that raises sexually seething questions which are new to Hindi cinema.
If "Aitraaz" had avoided the digressions, and if the narrative had focussed only on the issue of gender-reversed sexual harassment, this film would've been a cut above what it is.
Kareena Kapoor's part as the wife who stands by her accused husband right into the courtroom, has been substantially fleshed out in comparison with the original where the wife was far more shadowy.

 Aitraaz Review | ApunKaChoice.Com
A woman driven by desires, a faithful husband who refuses to succumb to temptations of extra-marital sex and a trusting wife who would fight to any length to win back her husband’s honor and esteem – Abbas Mastan’s thriller Aitraaz is a gripping film that entertains without resorting to usual Bollywood stereotypes.
The movie starts off like any other ordinary love story (between Akki and Kareena) but picks momentum with the introduction of Priyanka Chopra who plays a manipulative woman eyeing to seduce Akki for her own sexual gratification.
In a nutshell, Aitraaz is a wholesome entertainer with romance, seduction, conspiracy and courtroom drama supported by credible performances by the starcast and a good story.

At least she manages to carry off the sexual overtures with a fair amount of panache.
Clearly, Aitraaz is nothing more than a catfight between the good 'ol Bhartiya Nari and the ever so powerful vamp.
