decides to transform himself into a personality that could counter-attack Vikram. And to

Performance:
Emraan has done a good job as a cabbie and a true lover. His conversations with Irrfan
Khan are interesting. Irrfan Khan has done an excellent job as a killer. He well suited the
role. This makes us to realize his talent. Nisha Kothari oozes charm. Her chemistry with
Emraan is picturised well. Zakir Hussain played the role of a baddie with lots of ease. The
others did upto the content. The music given by Sajid-Wajid is good. Unlike other films, 'The
Killer' has a new look. All the technical aspects are fine.
