Is RED the MOST intense love story ever directed by Vikram Bhatt?

Told in a thriller narrative, RED stars Aftab Shivdasani, Celina Jaitley, Amrita Arora and Sushant Singh and has created a stir ever since its promos have hit the small screen. No sweet 'n' saccharine romance, no unwanted gravity defying action, no marriage celebrations but sheer drama, intense romance and some hard hitting intimate moments between the lead pair of Aftab and Celina - this is what RED seems to have in the offering!

What has also helped the film's cause is the passionate number 'Aafreen' [composed and sung by Himesh Reshammiya] that runs in the background throughout the film's promo which is a sequence of some exciting moments from the film.

The first look of the film has done the trick and now it is up to the makers of the film to sustain the tempo of the film's promotion and place it strategically in the market when it gears up for an early February release.
