'''''Rush''''' is a 2012 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[crime thriller film]] directed by Shamin Desai and produced by Mohammed Fasih and [[Shailendra Singh (entrepreneur)|Shailendra Singh]]. The film features [[Emraan Hashmi]], [[Aditya Pancholi]], [[Neha Dhupia]] and [[Sagarika Ghatge]]. The storyline is based on media and crime. The film released on 26 October 2012 on [[Dussehra]]. After the death of director Desai, the film was completed by his wife Priyanka Desai. It generally received negative response from critics and was declared a disaster at box-office.

==Plot==
The story follows media, politics, crime and sex at the point of life and death. Samar Grover ([[Emraan Hashmi]]) is a struggling news reporter. Even though his talk show is at the pinnacle of success, his personal life has turned upside down due to problems with his wife ([[Sagarika Ghatge]]). Seeing no way out, he accepts an assignment offered by a dynamic media tycoon named Lisa ([[Neha Dhupia]]), which he believes can make him millions. However, along with Lisa, one of India's most richest man, Roger Khanna ([[Aditya Pancholi]]), together play a game on Samar, which plunges him into a vortex of violence in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Beneath the veneer of glamour, money, power and the enviable life of media, lays a truth that is at once unbelievable and shocking.

===Reception===
The soundtrack received positive to average reviews from critics as well as public.

''Happysing.com'' gave a very positive review saying, "Rush has some really good songs, chhup chhup ke and Mumkin Nahi are must listen. Rest aren’t bad too. Worth a try for all, and worth a buy if you’re a music lover."
Suhail of Gomolo<ref>[http://www.gomolo.com Gomolo]</ref> gave the soundtrack ''4 out of 5 stars'' justifying the soundtrack as 'An Everlasting Package' with tracks that are too hard to drop-out. Rush soundtrack is a Highly outrageous travel!.<ref>{{cite web|last=Suhail|first=mir|title=Music Review of Rush on Gomolo|url=http://www.gomolo.com/play-movie-music-review/21657/244793}}</ref>

There were average reviews as well. One of them was given by ''Music Aloud'' who gave the album an average rating of "5.5 out of 10 stars" and commented, "After a superlative effort in Barfi, surprisingly unremarkable score from Pritam for Rush".

One of the negative review was given by ''Bollyspice.com'' who gave the album a negative rating of "2 out of 5 stars" and also commented that, "I found the soundtrack to Rush to be a frail attempt on Pritam’s part. After having recently composed some truly spectacular songs for his last album ‘Barfi!,’ Pritam has delivered here an album which has two great songs with the rest being very average."

==Release==
''Rush'' was to be initially released on 26 October but for some reasons it was then pre-poned to 24 October. However the film was again postponed from 24 to 26 October due to lot of films being released around the same time and the emergence of successful run of Karan Johar's Student of the Year. The film was finally released on ''26 October 2012''. Rush released in 850 cinemas across the entire country.
