Tweet Review: Neil Nitin Mukesh and Ameesha Patel's 'Shortcut Romeo'

New Delhi: He might be an earnest actor, but Neil Nitin Mukesh's career hasn't taken the desired flight ever since his impressive debut in 'Johny Gaddar' in 2007. Which is why this week's release, Susi Ganeshan's 'Shortcut Romeo' is an important film for the actor. As the lead of the film, Neil gets to prove his acting prowess, something that he has in abundance and yet hasn't been tapped to the fullest.

Director Susi Ganeshan, an acclaimed, award winning director makes his foray into Bollywood with a remake of Tamil super hit 'Thiruttu Payale' which is a tale of love, deceit and mystery. Mukesh plays Suraj who earns quick bucks by blackmailing a rich, bored and cheating housewife Monica( Amisha Patel) who is having an affair with a younger man on the sly of which only Suraj has knowledge of. While Monica resists initially, she isn't left with much choice but to relent and provide money to Suraj. Things are hunky dory till Suraj meets and falls in love with Cherry (Pooja Gupta).

Susi Ganeshan weaves a story which is shrouded with suspense and drama. Will Neil Nitin Mukesh be able to revive his career with 'Shortcut Romeo'?
