Plot

The film begins with Dhananjay "Danny" Jhumbevalkar aka DJ (Zayed Khan) meeting Rhea, whose real name is Preeti (Ayesha Takia) on an aeroplane. They soon become friends. Danny begins to narrate a tale about a diamond. This story is actually a story from his past. He tells her about a diamond that was discovered by a South Indian miner in 1836. The miner presented this diamond to his king. The king, in turn, then gifted the diamond to a British viceroy, but during a sea voyage to Britain, the viceroy's ship was sunk. After 100 years, a fisherman found the diamond and presented it to his master. The master broke it into three pieces and distributed it among his three sons. One son lost his diamond gambling, another lost him to a general, and the last brother lost it when he was murdered. In 1994, two of these three diamonds were again recovered and housed in a Belgium museum. Still, no one knew where the third diamond was until a Gujarati diamond dealer made a call to a South Africa high commission security manager named Shanaya (Shamita Shetty). But then the dealer also lost it when some goons stole the diamond from him in a preplanned car accident. The Uncle, who is a diamond thief, arranges for his goon Angad (Suniel Shetty) to steal two of the diamonds from the Belgium museum.

Reception

Critical reception

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the movie 2 out of 5 saying "On the whole, CASH has style, but rests on a thin plot and that is its biggest flaw. At the box-office, the film might attract the audience in its initial weekend, but a weak script will throw a spanner".[2] Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave the film 1.5 out of 5 saying "Cash could have been a ride -- if only they paid half as much attention to the script as they did to the title song".[3] Andy Webster of The New York Times gave the film negative review saying "Cash, for all its flash, leaves you hungry. But not for more".[4]
