There are times when you cannot come out of your sins even though you want to. It is difficult to atone your sins because you can hardly come out of the trap laid long before by your evil deeds. Deepak Tijori's directorial venture Fox is an attempt to show how wrongs people commit live with them and howsoever hard they try, they find it hard to wash their hands of it. This fast-paced suspense thriller moves to and fro between the busy metropolis of Mumbai and the beaches of Goa with frequent changes in settings.

Arjun Rampal, the protagonist in the movie plays a dynamic and successful lawyer Arjun Kapoor, who has earned enough reputation in his profession with his discretion, vast knowledge on the subject and power of interpretation. Success and indomitable presence in the industry leave little space for him to ask moral questions and give in to ethical censure. However, Mr Lawyer feels the first pangs of a guilty conscience one day and he convinces himself to walk away of his profession and accept the virtuous way of life.

But one cannot always have what one desires. In the same line, Arjun faces constant restrain from someone who appears extremely reluctant to let him go easily. The movie gets its pace when Arjun embarks on a challenge to save himself. He plans to resort to his girlfriend Urvashi (Sagarika Ghatge) and Yash Deshmukh (Sunny Deol) a local Goa police officer, before time takes better of him. After her distinct performance in Chak De, Sagarika Ghatge, the glamorous hockey girl of Kabir Khan's team is expected to match with the audiences' expectation in Fox. She plays a lawyer in Fox, who admires his co-star Arjun Rampal for helping her out rehearsing her lines. Also starring Udita Goswami, Vipul Gupta and others, this suspense thriller is expected to bring you to the edges of your seat.

Music composer of the movie Monty Sharma has however failed to reprise his soulful compositions of Saawariya, although he is supported by a band of excellent singers. Except from the soft and pleasing song “Zindagi”, sung by Kunal Ganjawala and Shreya Ghoshal, none of the rest 4 songs has made much impact to our seasoned ears. KK’s “Yaadein” is however garnished with psychedelic and peppy music.

As the title of the movie reverberates, Fox is expected to be a strange story about a cunning fox who is perhaps being foxed by someone.
