‘Ghanchakkar Movie Review- Tanmay Dubey

 

 

Starring :- Emraan Hashmi, Vidya Balan, Rajesh Sharma, Namit Das

Director:- Rajumar Gupta

 

What if Jason Bourne was not flamboyant, tough like rock, agile like snake, and smart like a fox? Will he be a Ghanchakkar? Who loves his wine (loves to forget it!) and wife (big boisterous fashion loving punjaban played with ease by Vidya balan- high time for her to shed some kilos!), who is a complete idiot sitting hours in-front of box (Read TV,) this Ghanckakkar (a refreshing change of guards for Hashmi who pours tons of vulnerability in the role) has a mastery in breaking big locks of any big tijori.

That’s where trouble (or should I say opportunity) comes knocking his door when Pandit (Rajesh Sharma in his cunning best) and Idlis (Namit Das in his underwear best) recruit him as a team member to rob a bank.

The threesome rob a bank wearing masks (must congratulate the director for one of the most incredible funny scene without using dialogues in Indian cinema!) the money is looted and Sanju    (Hasshmi) is asked to keep it safe…..dhantanan…..

Three months after; the duo of Pandit and Idlis return to take their portion of the loot, but hey who are you? I don’t know you? Asks Sanju. He even forgets where has he kept the money!

What follows then is humor and suspense filled story checking whether Sanju has really lost his memory or is he double crossing the gang. In the end the director chooses to take the ghanchakkar way to finish up thinks and one is left guessing.( it was little disapointing!) The dialogues of the film are funny, crisp and echo the common lingo. Music is just below average (may be it didn’t had any scope in this forget me not comedy flick!) Screenplay is tight and keeps you bind.

Emraan does his role with full earnestly (and kisses!). Director Raj Kumar Gupta (his previous ‘Aamir’ & ‘No one killed Jessica’) once again proves that a good script is winner with or without the stars.

All in all a light breezer for the weekend !
