Ghanchakkar

Finally a good movie after weeks of boredom. Engages you from very first seen and keeps you on the edge till end.

You will definitely laugh out loudly throughout the robbery scene. as the mysteries unfold your head will keep revolving. what to believe and what not, thats the question?

A really clean and simple thriller. no overdose of characters. no over dose of acting.just the right amount of 'forgetfulness'.

If you watch the movies to 'Enjoy' them, watch it. you will enjoy the acting, the plot, humor, comedy, simplicity and shortness of the story.

Have fun.

Ten minutes into screenplay, you are annoyed with Vidya Balan's diction. Thirty minutes into screenplay, you are blown away by the script. Suspense mounts, and you want to finish the remaining 90 minutes in a flash. That is how Ghanchakkar gathers its viewers.

Emraan Hashmi is great with his portrayal while Vidya Balan troubled me a little. Her demeanor looked over-smart. The supporting cast is average, most of the time trying & failing to make us laugh. But, the plot is enough to keep us hooked.

It seems illogical at first and you may start guessing hell of a lot of ideas on what happened & what happens next, but the epiphany is truly enduring & clever. With a slow-paced second half, it makes us yawn for a while, but the climax will blow it off. The makers have meticulously written the play and that is why it is recommended. 6.5/10.

Music & songs are average, editing is good & overall, quite a funny film which doesn't use large amounts of vulgarity.

BOTTOM LINE: A comic experience that should be considered. Recommended!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

i saw ghanchakkar today.and,i must tell you that the movie is much diff from that you could have imagined after watching the trailer.it's basically a dark comedy.maybe,on the lines of Tarantino movies.the movie almost proves that some Indian directors of today have guts to make serious-realistic-methodical type movies with notable actors.of course,it must be difficult for the makers as because still there is not a decent market for such movies.we know movies like gangs of wasseypur,shanghai,kaminey etc have not been commercially very successful although they deserved to.so,one cannot blame filmmakers any more for making 1 dimensional mainstream typical commercial flicks because there seems to be a market for such movies forever.even i love watching decent commercial flicks like ashiqui 2 etc.so it depends on the viewers how they perceive movies like ghanchakkar.if it's a decent hit,it will be a big boost for directors who wanna make unorthodox-contemporary indie flicks.

Not sure why lowest rating.. i can watch this movie any time and any number of times .. cult classy and totally cool.. do watch it guys and you'll definitely love it.

This movie is not as bad as its reviews are. In fact, it very refreshing comedy/thriller. I think audience and critics didn't take it in its spirit or its ahead of its time. Any person can enjoy it at any time.

Story is very well written. There are no big loopholes in it. Director has done a great job. Though plot was very small but they spread it very well over 2 hours. Acting wise, Emraan has done a great job. I am and never was a great fan of his acting skills but he proved in this movie that he is great actor and you will love watching him. Vidya is miss-cast in my view. Though she is great actor but I think makers of this movie picked her because of her success streak. Otherwise a pure Punjabi actress would do much better job and brought more reality, particular culture and ascent in this role. Even Juhi Chawal despite her age was better choice than Vidya.

All in all, its a must watch. Its little bit experimental film but its very easy to digest. One thing I'll must say that it will glue you to your seat till the end though you might feel little boring at some instances. But you'll not regret watching it.
