Several years ago, a Hollywood film toplined a creepy tenant who makes life miserable for his landlords, a nice couple.

In ‘Three—Love, Lies, Betrayal’, the creepy tenant is played by Ashish Chowdhry, and the couple is Nausheen and Akshay. The location is Scotland, and the film, nowhere as interesting as the original.

Nausheen (in her first screen role: she’s an old TV hand , having appeared for years in an Ekta Kapoor weepie) breaks away from her middle-class salwaar-kameez clad image, by donning swish skirts and fitted jackets. Akshay, who’d gone blissfully missing after his ‘Abhay’, is back again, this time attempting to play a husband who has his eye on his wife’s ancestral home.

Ashish, in drainpipes and a straggly mop, plays the paino, and makes passes at the wife. The twists and turns, are unexciting, and `Three’ passes, leaving us unmoved.

The only saving grace is Nausheen, who looks like there might be an actress under the pancake.
