is a curious title for a murder mystery, an investigative thriller. The phrase suggests romance, and in Sujoy Ghosh’s new film, we see the song sequence from , where a sultry Helen beckons to her lover while mouthing the lyrics to The moment occurs in a karaoke bar in Kalimpong, and it brings all the lead characters together and tells us how each one of them is linked to love. One of them is a single mother, played by Kareena Kapoor Khan. Her name is Maya. She hasn’t been with a man in what looks like ages, and she is having the time of her life with the cop played by Vijay Varma. His name is Karan. He is investigating Maya, but – just for that instant – they stop being cop/suspect and become man/woman. He joins her on the floor as she sings and they dance with reasonable abandon. Karan appears to be a bit of a player, so there’s possibly some lust mixed into what he’s feeling here. He keeps calling Maya “hot”.
