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.
