Rating: 2/5 stars (Two Stars)


Star cast: Deepak Dobriyal, Anshul Kataria, Priya Bathija, Paru Uma, Alok Chaturvedi, Bramha Mishra, Jagat Rawat, ChandrahasTiwari, Shrikant Verma, Anurag Arora, Avtar Sahni



Director: K Rajesh



What’s Good: A polished satire framed with neat wit.



What’s Bad: Sloppy Execution.



Loo break: A few for sure.



Watch or Not?: Chor Chor Super Chor is well conceived thought which is formulated into a satire. Revolving around the dhanda of petty chors, the film is strictly harmless. However, it is saddled with an unimaginative and slim script, which depends only on its actors for its humor quotient. It’s mostly bizarre slapstick and there is nothing here that you absolutely must see!

 

The film follows the story of two gangs in Purani Dilli that indulge in petty criminal activities. Amongst the gang wards which are milder than the extreme action one would expect, the film trails along the love story of Satbir and Neena. Desperate to be with her, Satbir – a crime artist is all set to give up his promising career in thugging! But the story isn’t another love story as Neena turns out to be a journalist sniffing around for a story. Since Satbir has already bitten the forbidden fruit, this film’s climax wraps up to tell you whether this romantic story ties up in love or pathos!

 

Chor Chor Super Chor Review: Script Analysis

The story that revolves around gangs that indulge in petty crimes, the characters are crime artists known for their neat ways of thugging someone. The script has package thumping and frantic activity so as to not bore you. But Alas, it is the film’s premise that is intrinsically dull and repetitive.


The characters are affectionately etched out especially Satbir who is earnest in his bit! He’s spoofy and gives the film its most glistening lunatic moments. However, the film could have improvised on framing its plot. There is a desperate need in Bollywood to make out-of-the-box films, and in their tryst they readily compromise on their quality. The film’s organization is shabby and there is a lack of neatness in its framework. The film has to substantially strain to amuse you. I will refrain from saying that the script stenches, frankly because it doesn’t. There is good deal of interesting ideas, and subplots, but it is the film’s inability to hold the wit all through, which is disappointing.


A few dialogues from the film are hilarious and there are hints of charm in few of its stray scenes. But the turgidity in the screenplay with wafer thin content simply sags.

Chor Chor Super Chor Review: Star Performances

Deepak Dobriyal is impulsive and effortless in his role. And he perhaps is one of the film’s most deep rooted stronghold points. There is grace in how he carries his role and an edge in his delivery that he has retained from when we first notice him in Vishal Bharadwaj’s Omkara.


Anshul Kataria is top notch. With a sturdy performance he is surprisingly good.


Priya Bhatija aided with her years of experience in television uses it well in her first film. The actress is prompt in her acting and has a pleasant screen presence.


The supporting cast is very able and acting wise, the film is top notch and doesn’t waver at any point.

Chor Chor Super Chor Review: Direction, Editing and Music

Director K. Rajesh is clear in his conception of the film but his execution is fractured. The intrinsic fun value of the plot is destroyed in its incoherence and inconsistency. There is sloppiness in the film’s screenplay and often there is a lack of rhythm in the way the story falls which is anything but entertaining. It is sad Rajesh did not spend more time caressing the mood of the film or his characters which is what fails in this film. The film’s tight editing is stellar and luckily, the saga of a film wraps up in 90 minutes! Music is intelligent with low shelf life, but streams well into its plot!

Chor Chor Super Chor Review: The Last Word

Chor Chor Super Chor is not a bad film but it shocks you with being dull and less promising as compared to what the trailer had promised. This is an interesting idea that is slayed due to a lack of zestful execution. I am going with 2/5. Watch it for Deepak Dobriyal alone! And if sanity and you are friends, avoid it!
