silvan-desouza Even though the film is hardly more then 2 hours, yet it seems lengthy. Rajkumar Gupta after the superb riveting Aamir(2008) and No One Killed Jessica(2010) tries to change tracks and make a caper kinda comic thriller film. The film has a good premise and starts off well, Emraan and Vidya's banter is well handled, the bank robbery too is well handled and then the going-ons get entertaining when the 2 enter their house to find out where is the money, The film slowly starts wearing out as it does get predictable, yet it startles you when the fingers point towards different directions, The climax though hatke may not appeal to all yet it works wellDirection by Rajkumar Gupta is good Writing is a bit flawed Music is okay Emraan Hashmi has grown a lot since his Aashiq Banaya days and yet again he proves he is a fantastic performer, he handles his role superbly Vidya Balan who gets a comic role does a superb job Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das are superb in their roles Pravin Dabas has 1 scene

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________

namashi_1 Rajkumar Gupta's 'Ghanchakkar' is An Uneven Comedy! It has a promising premise, fabulous performances & even skilled direction, but what it lacks, more-so in the second-hour, is solid writing! 'Ghanchakkar' Synopsis: A man robs a bank, but ends up losing his memory 3 months later. Mayhem ensures. 'Ghanchakkar' begins superbly & the twisted narrative is certifiably crazy & entertaining. The second-hour, as mentioned before, isn't solid. Also, this comedy-thriller, turns dark & violent in the latter hour, which surprises its viewer completely, but not particularly in awe. The climax, when the mystery unfolds, is actually, an anti-climax. Sure, it has a worthy twist, but the entire sequence is not up-to the mark. Parveez Shaikh & Rajkumar Gupta's Screenplay is damn funny in the first-hour, but dips in the second-hour. I'm sure, a better second-hour would've benefited big time! Rajkumar Gupta is a talented storyteller & his direction here, too, is skilled. Cinematography is standard. Editing is sharp. Music by Amit Trivedi is melodious. Performance-Wise: Emraan Hashmi is in terrific form. He plays the troubled protagonist with complete conviction & ease. A Stellar Performance! Vidya Balan gets it right, yet again. She plays the Punjabi housewife faultlessly. Rajesh Sharma is brilliant, he supports the leads wonderfully. Namit Das is ordinary. On the whole, 'Ghanchakkar' has its moments, but its the second-hour that plays a spoilsport.

anupamwww let begun with why we watch movie . we watch for entertainment , for fun and to look for some effort of nobility among others.this movie focus mainly of husband-wife relationship among daily chaos . which i think has covered it well by actors .the villains to done their pat at dark comedy role .so through out the movie their is a comic feeling .. which at end blunts as splashed simple .. either a twist or a simple progression with the usual satire wood have been justified rather then a sudden change from comedy to tragedy .. its a movie where audience laugh all through only to see a tragic . making no-sense unjustified end (such end can not be the end neither it ties the loose strings it put your effort and your laughing meaningless)
