Last
time,
we
saw
Vidya
Balan
and
Emraan
Hashmi
getting
really
dirty
in
their
flick
The
Dirty
Picture,
and
this
time,
they
have
vowed
to
drive
their
fans
go
crazy.
Their
latest
film
Ghanchakkar,
directed
by
Rajkumar
Gupta
is
a
"quirky" comedy
involving
a
bank
heist,
memory
loss
and
a
loud
Punjabi
housewife.
Picking
the
unique
concept
of
thriller
comedy,
Ghanchakkar
impresses
you
until
a
point,
when
you
feel
that
things
are
going
out-of-control
and
irritating.
Story
When
Sanju
(Emraan
Hashmi),
a
suave,
master
safe
cracker
wants
to
retire
from
a
career
in
crime,
he
decides
to
team
up
with
two
dangerous
criminals
to
commit
one
last
heist.
A
bank
robbery
that
will
ensure
that
he
never
has
to
worry
about
money
again.
The
robbery
is
successful
and
everything
goes
according
to
plan.
Sanju
is
given
the
task
of
hiding
the
money
till
things
cool
down
and
the
booty
can
be
split.
Three
months
later,
the
associates
return
to
collect
their
share
of
the
loot,
but
Sanju
refuses
to
even
recognise
them!
They
realise
that
he
met
with
an
accident
and
is
suffering
from
strong
amnesia,
and
decide
to
stay
with
Sanju
and
his
wife
Neetu
(Vidya
Balan)
until
Sanju
remembers
where
he
hid
the
money.

on
the
review...
Ghanchakkar
The
story
isn't
quite
compelling
and
indeed
lacks
meat.
Ghanchakkar
suffers
a
lot
in
the
second
half,
and
gets
overboard
and
repetitive
at
times.
The
film
boasts
of
some
genuine
humour
and
especially,
Vidya's
insane
behaviour
at
times,
but
hardly
makes
any
difference
to
save
the
fate
of
the
movie.
Emraan
Hashmi's
Performance
We
still
don't
understand,
even
after
delivering
some
memorable
performances,
why
Emraan
Hashmi
is
always
termed
as
an
underrated
actor?
Today,
Hashmi
is
not
just
'only
a
good-looking
serial
kisser',
but
much
more
than
that.
Hashmi
gets
his
character
right.
He
effortlessly
slips
into
the
character
and
crafts
Sanjay's
predicaments
-
anger,
frustration
and
suspicions,
with
immense
ease.
Vidya
Balan's
Performance
Vidya
Balan
went
dirty
in
The
Dirty
Picture,
pregnant
in
Kahaani,
and
this
time
she
is
going
crazy.
Like
always,
you
just
cannot
afford
to
ignore
Vidya
and
her
crazy
antics.
She
steals
the
show
with
absurd
mannerisms
and
weird
dressing
sense.
Rajkumar
Gupta
Ghanchakkar's
director
Rajkumar
Gupta
had
earlier
made
films
like
Aamir,
No
One
Killed
Jessica,
those
really
fetched
well
at
the
Box
Office.
Final
Verdict
Ghanchakkar
is
certainly
not
the
best,
but
yes,
if
you
are
a
true
Vidya
Balan
fan,
you
may
take
the
risk
and
grab
a
show
ticket
at
the
theatre,
else
just
give
it
a
miss.
