Story: Abhay is a happy-go-lucky youth who loves to live life king size, till fate leads him to prison. Once out of prison, he sets out to find the family of the dead victim, and ends up finding his lady love. Is it really that simple? Or does destiny have other things in store?

Movie Review: Now what's so angel(ic) about this one? Is it Abhay (Nilesh Sahay) who, hit him, scold him, abuse him... ends up smiling come what may? Or is it Sonal (Maddalsa Sharma) who forgives the man who kills her dad (by default) and later falls in love with him to become his angel? Or is it the blooming romance of the debutants where love is all about the chanting some incoherent Chinese mantra? Whatever it is, you really don't want to know.

Reason? First, is Abhay, who for most part of the movie, is seen moving in and out of jail. Sometimes for two years -- when he hits a man on the road killing him on the spot; sometimes for seven -- when he can't explain his love for the mentally challenged girl who happens to be the daughter of the man he once hit.

The motif may be angelic in the film, but the vision's lost somewhere!
