Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Jasrick Johal Average film that could have been so much more, saved by great acting by lead Emraan Hasmi,Vidya Balan, Rajesh Sharma, and Namit Das. Film is about a bank robbery and how the three robbers are supposed to split the money after three months but the person with the money loses his memory in the interim. Dir Rajkumar Gupta tries hard to make a great film, but a very slow pace and the writing of the film are a big letdown. After a certain point the film doesn't move.What saves the film is some really fun moments, great acting by all 4 leads and a good ending. Overall one excepts more from such talent, exceptions were high after aamir and NOKJ but there are not meet. But the film is still enjoyable just don't walk in with too many exceptions.
rahuljonathan-nair Yet, a harder puzzle to crack is figuring out just how so many talented people could make such a disappointing film. Ghanchakkar has all the ingredients for a dark comedy, yet shaken and stirred they blend like oil and water. The storytelling itself is inconsistent. Frustration sets in during the film's flabby middle portion where nothing much really happens.These inspired moments then are few and far between in this lazily scripted film that leaves you bored and searching for the nearest exit. I'm going with two out of five for Ghanchakkar. The money is found in the end, but that's 2 hours and 17 minutes of your life that you'll never see again!
Ketan Gupta Indian Cinema has certainly evolved over the years with experimental movies Lootera , Ek thi dayan , Special chabbis to name a few. Ghanchakkar succeeds in experimenting the truth but final act pauses the entire movement of the film.Sanjay , Pandit and Idris plans to rob a bank and decides to keep the entire loot with Sanjay as he is the only one married among them. After 3 years , both come back to collect the share but are flabbergasted as Sanjay looses his memory in accident and could not trace the where about of the bag full of money.Hard-hitting Aamir , reality drama No one killed Jessica and now crime/thriller Ghanchakkar , Raj Kumar Gupta goes one step further with crime/thriller with engrossing storyline and succeeds in extracting riveting performance by the star cast. The movie do has few hilarious moments in the first half and the doubt factor remains till the end. Unfortunately , the movie tumbles in the climax which could have been made better. Editing is tight. Screenplay is brilliant . Cinematography and art direction is simple. Music is below par. Background score does not gel well with film. Dialogues are good. For the first time , I liked Emraan Hashmi's acting. The actor gets into the character of a person with memory loss and gives a brilliant performance. Vidya Balan was amazing as Punjabi-accent nagging wife. Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das lends a good support.Overall , a very brave niche flick with commendable first half and not so engrossing later half. Decent 3/5
Arnav Goswami watched GHANCHAKKAR ..there's no Comedy(they try hard but its still not there) & there's a no crime(they made it look pity) & as well as there's no Romance...also they (makers) haven't exploited the talented cast..cause their script, dialogue, screenplay all sucks(that's what refrain its actors from performing)....its below average from the start & ends little close to the average(cause of climax)....still I would say _SKIP THIS ONE_ (I was looking to this but its turns out to be a big disappointment. Complete waste of two hours) ________IMDB I LIKE TO KEEP MY REVIEWS SHORT, PLEASE DON'T FORCE TO WRITE LEASE TEN LINES________
