Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

aaronbir This movie was so totally amazing I was so amused by seeing the film and movie scenes of the movie are superb Screenplay is outstanding storyline is intense editing is comical direction is remarkable Songs are really good I like the storyline and overall enjoyable movie Sanjay dutt was superb kajol did well asthoush rana does well in his debut performance Overall my rating is 7/10

silvan-desouza Dushman is known for many reasons though it was not a hit, It was Tanuja Chandra's debut, Kajol's first double role, Ashutosh Rana's debut. The film is a remake of AN EYE FOR AN EYE but is well indianised. It starts off well, on a tense note and the relationship between Kajols are well handled, the twist is well handled and dramatic. The going ons do drag a bit, Also Sanjay Dutt's role was added only for commercial purposes, some scenes don't make much sense at times but the pre-climax when Kajol calls Ashutosh is superb though Sanju suddenly landing there does seem convenient yet the end is brilliantDirection by Tanuja Chandra is superb Music by Uttam Singh is good, Awaz is the best track while Cheethi is a good song Pyaar To Ho Jaane Do is good tooKajol is superb in both the roles without overacting, though due to her supposedly unavailability, her dubbing in parts is done by Mona Ghosh Shetty which doesn't suit her Jas Arora is good, Sanjay Dutt(credited first as a dynamic appearance) does quite well in his blind man role but his role was perhaps added for commercial purposes Ashutosh Rana steals the show in a negative role, it was rare to see a newcomer outshine everyone, he is simply awesome though he kept doing such roles Tanvi Azmi and others are okay.

Vivekmaru45 Joke: Girl: Whats worse than watching a movie with Kajol in it.Boy: Watching a movie with Kajol in a double role.In our Bollywood film industry known for making cheap remakes of Hollywood films, this film sums up that situation. I think you don't need a brain, looks or acting skills to become a Bollywood actor/actress. Back to the film produced by none other than hammy actress Pooja Bhatt daughter of Mahesh Bhatt("Butt"). Incidentally the screenplay is written by Mahesh Bhatt, so you know he has stolen from ideas from a Hollywood film. Combination of two hams: father and daughter. Another "Butt" ugly filmThis film also stars Robin Bhatt. Its seems the whole family threw in the sack of beans making this flick.Also this film marked the Bollywood debut of a nerdy shrimp of a female director: Tanuja Chandra.The most surprising thing to me is that Sanjay Dutt signed up for this film. It seems NO ONE WANTED TO PLAY THE PART SO.......you get the picture???Plot(for people who saw the film and didn't understand it. Written in simple English): Sonia and Naina Sehgal (both played by Kajol) are twins. At the same time the police are hunting for a killer and rapist. The man Gokul Pandit (Ashutosh Rana) is a cold-blooded animal and has chosen Naina for his next target. However tragedy strikes when Gokul brutally kills Sonia. Naina is distraught and vows to hunt down Gokul. Gokul soon goes after Naina and she realizes she needs help to overcome her fear of him. With that she meets Suraj Singh Rathod (Sanjay Dutt), a retired and blind major and he helps her physically and mentally to defeat her fear of Gokul. After an argument Suraj refuses to meet Naina and she decides to go after Gokul alone without the help of the police or Suraj.....Pros: 1.Good music by legendary playback singers Asha Bhosle, Shankar Mahadevan, Lata Mangesjkar, Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu, Jagjit Singh. 2.Ashutosh Rana is awesome as usual. 3.Also stars Sanjay Dutt as a bonus.Cons: 1.Poorly shot rape scenes (full censorship as usual). This is a rape film and they don't show the rapes??? 2. This film stars Kajol in her most hysterical role. 3. Sanjay Dutt ISN'T nude for this flick (sorry gals). 4. Kajol ISN'T nude for this flick (sorry guys, you can STOP the preparations for a good night's SHAG).In conclusion: Better to buy the AUDIO CD rather than wasting your money on the VCD/DVD.Score: this isn't a cricket or football match....butt....4/10.

f_n87 'Indianized' version of the 1996 Kiefer Sutherland/Sally Field starrer 'Eye for an eye', Dushman still manages to strike a deep chord with the readers, due completely to the flawless casting of Kajol as Naina Seghal, the sister of the victim (the only discernible difference as in the original it was the mother seeking revenge) The story opens with a happy-go-lucky family, twins (Sonia and Naina, played by Kajol) a younger sister (Diya) and a mother, content in the ups and downs of their small world. This happy picture is shattered into a million pieces as on the day of Diya's birthday, a psychotic postman, under pretense of delivering a letter to the house, breaks into the house, savagely beats, rapes, and murders Sonia (the most heart-breaking scene in the whole movie as Naina is on the other end of a cell phone conversation with her sister at the time of the murder, and is forced to hear the desperate screams of her dying twin). When the justice systems lets this man off, due to witness who changes their testimony, Naina is driven mad with grief and, with aid from an ex-army official (played brilliantly by Sanjay Dutt) arms herself to track this ruthless killer and serve justice where the courts can't. It isn't an easy feat, however, as the killer is all too aware of Naina stalking him and decides to finish her off in much the same manner as her sister.Though revenge plots are nothing new to Bollywood, this one is different because it does not show a gun-wielding hero stealing agun from somewhere and go on a mad killing spree to avenge his family. It shows a sister, who first has to come to terms with the unbearable loss she has suffered and has to train herself adequately , so she has the means necessary to avenge her sister . Kajol IS Naina and Sonia! She plays the two separate personalities as effortlessly as she plays the tormented twin sister, who can't look in the mirror anymore because of the reflection that stares back at her. I couldn't imagine a better choice for the role. Same does for Ashutosh Rana as Ghokul. I refused to believe that this was this man's debut venture! he is simply terrifying and i had to hide my face half the time he was on screen, simply because of his overwhelming evil presence. The rest of the cast gives perfect support (Tanvi Azmi as the mother impresses) .A must-see for Kajol fans, if not for the plot than simply for her mind-blowing performance. **********
