Honey Irani´s directorial debut "Armaan" is beautiful, sensitive and fantastic. Having cast two big actors Amitabh and Anil Kapoor for her first movie, she has come up with some neat characterization. Art Direction by Yunnus Pathan and Kiran Khanna is splendid. The scenes in the operation theatre or the ones showing the day-to-day life in a hospital are authentically done. Ravi Varman´s cinematography is good.
Coming to story, Dr. Siddharth Sinha(Amitabh Bachchan), a philanthropist, who owns a hospital and has a dream to expand it into a state of the art hospital and is on a lookout for some funds to achieve the cause. Dr. Akash Sinha(Anil Kapoor), a respected neurosurgeon, is equally devoted to help realize his father´s dream. Enter Neha Mathur(Gracy Singh), an anesthetist, who joins the hospital as an assistant to Akash Sinha. Their cordial relation starts blossoming into love with every surgery they perform together and how they realize they have so many things in common. Enter Soniya Kapoor(Preity Zinta),a spoilt daughter of a business tycoon Gulshan Kapoor(Randhir Kapoor), a girl raised in richness but with absence of love. Soniya falls for Akash and wants to marry him. To fulfill her daughter´s wish, Gulshan Kapoor strikes a deal with Dr. Siddharth Sinha. He is ready to finance the hospital project on the condition that Akash marries her daughter. Siddharth Sinha rejects the deal. Already suffering from high stress, an unfortunate incident leads to the death of Siddharth Sinha and that leaves Akash helpless. Now, Akash has only one goal and that is to fulfill his father´s dream and for this cause, he has to sacrifice the bond of love he shares with Neha. He enters into an agreement with Gulshan Kapoor and gets married to Sonia. Sonia a manipulative wife, who is obsessed on having Neha out of Akash’s hospital. From here on it is about the relationship between the three characters and how Akash sacrifices everything towards fulfilling his father´s dream.
Outstanding performance by Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor make the movie enjoyable. Anil Kapoor's scenes in the operation theatre are lively and one can feel his pain when he performs the operation to save the life of a patient. He performs three surgeries in the movie and at every stage, his character feels the medical victory. Gracy Singh gives a very mature performance. Preity's performance stands out in the very effortless élan with which she carries off the role as a dominating wife. Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is melodious.
