Isha never pretends to not be a sexual being unlike most heroines we saw in the '90s. Eh, what? While all of this is unforgivable and paints Isha as not a very sane human, it is still refreshing to see a female character turn into a villain. Forget the stepfather and the loyal assistant, she even killed a dog because it bit Sahil when he was a child. In fact, her obsession goes to such an extent that she goes around killing everyone who tries to come in between them. Sahil is in love with her, and she is obsessed with him.

She makes prank calls to Sahil when she finds out their families want them to get married, and later at some point in the movie she even argues with her father and tells him that Sahil IS in love with her though he was happily dancing around (Read: Making out) with Isha (Kajol) inside his hiding spot, a cave. When she rescues him and brings him home, she changes into her night suit and then goes and smells Deol from toe to head (I am not kidding), while he sleeps. While Sahil repeatedly says that he is love with Isha, his childhood friend, played by Kajol, Sheetal doesn't give up. But after all, her love isn't that unconditional either and you realise that if you watch the film closely. Clearly, no one told her that she could be arrested for abetting a criminal, but then, of course, this is a Bollywood movie and I am not supposed to look for sense.

While Sheetal's love for Sahil may seem unconditional- she spends a bomb in sending a non-Indian sailor to rescue Sahil when he jumps off the tunnel and into what seems like an ocean, she dances in the middle of snow (though that was only in her head), she takes him home and lets him sleep on her bed with his dirty shoes on, and she giggles everytime inspector Udham Singh fails to nab Sahil after his escape. Basically, the lesson here is: never shock your unsuspecting children and announce their wedding at their birthday party. And that is what was also used against him in the court of law. In fact, that is what ticked him off and he almost put a dagger to his stepfather's chest till his mother intervened. Incidentally, Sahil wasn't aware of this marriage announcement till the evening of his birthday. This is when Sheetal (Manisha Koirala) who is apparently in love with Sahil, and was to get married to him, decides to help him prove his innocence. All fingers point to Sahil and he lands up in jail. The crime plot begins when Sahil's stepfather, who also happened to be the governor of a nameless place, is killed. The story was less about Sahil and his arrest or his escape from the jail through a tunnel (with animated rats in them), but was more about the two women and their love, obsession and desire for this Sahil.

And that may be the reason why I didn't focus much on the plot but rather the women in the movie- Kajol and Manisha Koirala, who played Isha and Sheetal respectively. I already knew who will die, and I already knew the mysterious killer. This time Gupt wasn't quite a gupt plot for me. Yep, you can stop reading if you are already judging me. At almost 30, I watched Gupt again, and I crushed over Deol all over again despite the maniac moves. But then I was 8 and perhaps I didn't know better. Twenty years ago, when I first watched Bobby Deol doing that signature step of jumping from one spot to the other while shaking his head (and his unmissable locks) I had an instant crush on him.
