'Saat Uchakkey' boasts an ensemble cast so strong, its barely surprising how splendidly they invest themselves into their respective parts. Sadly, the only strong merit of this comic caper are its performances, as the film is just an okay watch!
'Saat Uchakkey' Synopsis: A team of good-for-nothing people team up to steal treasure from an eccentric old man, but face opposition in the form of a cop.
'Saat Uchakkey' is a fine idea, but the execution is underwhelming. The first-hour, to begin with, barely leaves a mark. Its in the second-hour, when things fire up & the laughs come in. The comic touches work well in the second-hour, despite profanity, but the first-hour, is weak from every angle.
The Writing needed to be more persuasive. The Dialogue are realistic & at times, laugh-out-loud funny. Sanjeev Sharma's Direction is decent. Cinematography & Editing are standard.
Performance-Wise: The Actors are uniformly excellent! Vijay Raaz takes the lead with a terrific act. The supremely talented actor takes center stage & comes up with the film's funniest moments. Manoj Bajpayee is first-rate, as always. Kay Kay Menon shines. Aditi Sharma is fantastic & proves her potential, once again. Anupam Kher is hilarious in a cameo. Annu Kapoor is perfectly over-the-top. Aparshakti Khurrana supports very well.
On the whole, 'Saat Uchakkey' is a mixed bag.

Idiotic hack crooks, a babe, a safe, a plan and a mad mystic. Add them all up and you get the best comedy you've never heard of.
Even with some a-list star power (at least a-minus...okay, b-plus?) this movie got very little publicity. But that does not diminish its genius.
Terrific writing, solid delivery and a believable group of characters. Some truly classic lines, and a fun twist at the end.
I gave this movie seven stars because of the fabulous performance delivered by some gems of industry Manoj bajpayee, KK Menon and specially by Vijay Raaz he kills with his terrific performance. Except great performance of actors this movie is an average with all other aspects scenes are too stretched, comedy is not too good.
The first half is looking like director just want to reach the interval or the second half. This movie is looking like there is a great story and cast but the direction failed with the execution.
Overall watch the movie to see one of the great performances executed by Vijay Raaz.

Makers don't have any idea about making of this film for sure. There is not any story. Headache in the name of screenplay and dialogues are full of unnecessary stuffed slang in the name of reality. First introduction of 'Bichchi', played by Annu Kapoor, although character's name was interesting, in mental asylum initially looks interesting but then it gives strong feeling of the irritating stuffs coming ahead. His character is established like some hypnotist at spiritual note with added cruelty, then he becomes narrator and ends up with some God's angle, preaching all idiotic crooks in irritating way in unbearable climax. His escape from asylum is magical because makers are also confused about the way, so they took help of miracle. Then next Character Puppy, played by 'Manoj Bajpeyee' gets introduced, home items being taken away for not repaying the loan, so convenient that he needs money so he has to do something even drastically wrong. His way of planning his own murder, yes it's clear in screenplay, no guess or thrill game for the sake of black comedy was just killing of creativity. Few needy and greedy friends of Puppy even a lawyer, a girl, mad in his love, a Police inspector, a hidden treasure in an old mental person's haveli, which ownership was frequently challenged by an old lunatic lady. All this were competent to make a movie according to makers. Second half is very bad and long night sequences make it unbearable for eyes too with some tangy light effect. It is so sad to watch good actors like Manoj Bajpeyee, Kay Kay Menon, Vijay Raaz, Anupam Kher, being scarified in the name of absurdity oops comedy.
This movie is underrated and killed by censor board, every character has given nice performance. not a cup of everyone's tea. Nice concept.
