The Indian film, `Jism`, is a Pooja Bhatt production, which is directed by debutant Amit Saxena. The film is also co-produced by Sujit Kumar Singh and written by Mahesh Bhatt. `Jism: The Dark Side of Desire` is a daring attempt by actress-turned-producer Pooja Bhatt and her father Mahesh Bhatt to defy the Bollywood stereotypes and give something new to movie buffs.
The film `Jism` is slightly inspired by the Hollywood flick `Double Indemnity`. One highlight of the movie is its gripping plot that moves in a singular direction without straying off into unnecessary sub-plot and `eye-catching` sequences forced to lend an extra zing to the story. Another strong point of the movie is the way in which Bipasha`s character is developed. Throughout the movie she is shown as an ambitious but vulnerable girl who is married to a man she doesn`t love. But her reversal face comes up in the second half when her true nature and character is revealed and is likely to stun the viewers.
