Suspense-thrillers are very rare in Lollywood. When I heard about this movie, I decided to watch it as a huge fan of this genre. I was hoping for something refreshing from Pakistani filmmakers but unfortunately, this film proved to be a huge disappointment.
The main plot of the movie makes absolutely no sense at all in the first place. Even if we ignore numerous plot holes in the name of cinematic liberties, the lazy writing and poor direction will surely bother you throughout. Cheesy dialogues make thigs even worse.
First half an hour or so does manage to grab your attention. But pace of the film drops as the it proceeds and events become far from convincing.
When we reach the climax, what we are served is several twists and turns reminding us a few Abbas-Mustan movies. However, these twists feel just for the sake of it and hardly convincing. Everybody is manipulating with someone and double crossing other.
Acting by leading cast is also below average.
On the whole, Chakkar is a poorly made film that is not going to contribute anything in the progression of Pakistani cinema.

Well... First of all I'd like to mention that I had read in some review of this movie "Fareb" before watching it that this movie was a remake of an English movie "Unlawful Entry". But as i hadn't watched Unlawful Entry, so being a thriller genre fan I went for it. But after watching this movie, I was very disappointed.
This movie starts up with a very interesting note. A happy married couple (Faraaz Khan & Suman) happens to interact with a Police Inspector Indrajeet Saxena (Milind Gunaji)who tries to enter their lives by doing strange things. The movie holds viewers' attentions for first forty, forty five minutes or so. But after that, when intentions of Inspector Saxena are revealed, the proceedings become utterly predictable which totally demolish the impact made in first few minutes. There are no twists and turns in the story which are quite necessary for a thriller. I was at least expecting an interesting climax but unfortunately, it was clichéd as well.
Performance wise, all the character did justice with their roles and music was OK as well.
On the whole, Fareb could have been far better if writer had experimented, especially, in post-interval part rather than relying on old stereotype formulas.
