Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga

A great story, superb content I think is remained half baked in this thrilling and engaging Netflix movie. It is not that I have not liked it but I have watched an opportunity lost to make it more interesting.

As the second half starts and a revelation is made the film becomes interesting but while investigation the investigator played by Sharad Khelkar has a chance to expose much bigger which I think makers didn't care because they want to concentrate only on the love-hate relationship of Sunny Kaushal and Yami Gautam. Both of them have did justice to their character I think I am disappointed by the climax.

If you can see beyond its glaring shortcomings, if you can forgive and forget its over the top and fractionally exaggerated dramatics, you'll have no difficulties enjoying whatever ride the movie has to offer.

I'll admit though that the sudden slew of twists and turns are quite interesting and make the overall experience more rewarding, provided you're not a seasoned spectator, because hardened buffs like us can see that sudden change of course coming from a mile away.

P. S. Yami Gautam Dhar once again delivered a compelling performance (following A Thursday; which I happened to love and admire); I hope she gets more such roles as she appears to be in her comfort space.

The plot of this movie is highly unusual considering that that it has a hijack and a diamond robbery going on simultaneously in flight but one must admit the movie keeps the audience engrossed throughout. After a lazy start showing the romance between Yami Gautam and Sunny Kaushal the pace picks up. Yami is a fun loving flight steward and Sunny is a businessman with shrewd plan up his sleeve. Both are on the same flight and there is mutual attraction between them. The flight is not all smooth as the plane is hijacked . In the ensuing confusion and chaos a robbery also takes place. What follows is action, suspense, surprises and twists and turns which keep you hooked and you don't feel the absence of songs, dances or comedy. There are some diamonds to be stolen and no one knows if they are fake or genuine. Not everything is convincing but the smooth narrative carries you through mainly because of the taut direction and fine acting of the lead couple. Sharad Kelkar as a law enforcement officer acts well as usual.

Director Ajay Singh has with him a tightly formatted screenplay and with some slick direction he has his audience riveted as the plot unfolds. This is a thriller to keep you engaged specially in the second half.

The concept of combining a heist film with a hijack film is quite new in Bollywood. However, it has got a 3rd angle to it that is pretty well brought out in the film and the entire drama that unfolds in the 2nd half is what the film is about.

Both Sunny and Yami have a twist in their characters that forms the usp of this film. What starts as a heist later turns into the 3rd theme of this film. The screenplay is pretty gripping . The twists may not be unpredictable but are still fun to watch. As a time pass, it was a decent entertainer never really allowing you to get bored.

Even the hijacking looks very weak, the characters who play the hijackers are weak but , all this was intentional. How? Watch the film to know.

It's not the smartest film on earth but as i said the twists are fun and enjoyable, something like an Abbas mustan film like Race .

Performances are good. Yami is the star of this film . Sunny too is good. Sharad gets limited screen space but is also good.

Overall, a decent one time watch twisty entertainer . Nothing extraordinary as critics are saying.

This one is better than your average Bollywood masala movie where the good guys & the bad guys duke it out and then the audience is expected to leave satisfied when the good defeats the bad. Plot twist is interesting even if many of the ideas are far fetched. If you believe the unbelievable for sake of entertainment, then the performances will appeal to you. But I do wish the movie-makers had picked a non-give-away title.

Yami Gautam is of course an experienced actress and carries the movie on her shoulders. Shared Kelkar is great as usual in a small-ish role. Others are competent but not noteworthy.
