Raj Kanwar has let his assistant,
debutant director Anurag Singh take over the directing
reigns, and now Raqueeb with its unexpected twists and
turns, the debutant director's film makes for an
interesting watch.
There have been many
suspense thrillers in the past, many drouble crossing
movies, but this particular film goes a step ahead -
triple crossing !!!??? "Inspired" from the film "Murder
by Natural Causes" the director tries his best to come
out with something crisp. Well, yes, to a certain
extent, he succeeds.

But, every character is hiding behind a mask in this
movie and we soon figure out that Sophie has rekindled
her affair with her ex-love, an obsessed angry lover,
Sunny (Jimmy Shergil). Sophie emotionally blackmails
Sunny to kill Remo (by Natural Causes) and hatches a
plan to provoke his anxiety and asthma so he dies on his
own, leaving Sunny a free man. As luck would have it,
Sunny discovers that Sophie has double-crossed him. He
ends up actually murdering Remo and getting a life
sentence.
But that isn't the film's plot, and it's only after this
that the film gets most interesting, revealing plot
twists layer by layer that come as startling surprises.
Raqeeb is a tale of obsession, double crossing and
revenge on many levels.

The story of ‘Raqeeb’ revolves around four main characters
played by Tanushree Dutta, Rahul Khanna, Sharman Joshi and
Jimmy Shergill.
Remo, (Rahul Khanna) an asthmatic, owns Zen Software
that specializes in security for bank networks. Remo has a
good business sense, lots of money, a good friend cum
consultant Siddharth (Sharman Joshi) and the good life --
but feels numb within. His parents were killed in a car
crash when he was a child.
Siddharth sets Remo up with his 'chat-mate', Sophie (Tanushree
Dutta) and it seems like the perfect love story. Sophie is
a theatre artist. By a remarkable coincidence her parents
also died in the same accident that claimed the lives of
Remo’s parents. After initial hesitation, Sophie and Remo
are drawn towards each other. They fall in love and get
married.
