Rating - ***1/2
Director Ajay Singh creates a gripping and impressive narrative revolving around a diamond heist, plane hijack and revenge. The magic of film lies within the twist and turns, double crosses and superbly timed diversion in the plot and true motives of each character.
Neha (Yami), a flight attendant, and her boyfriend, Sunny (Ankit) plan to steal a cache of diamonds to clear an old debt. But 40,000 feet above the ground, their heist goes horribly wrong and turns into a hostage situation, which believe it or not, is just a diversion, which is revealed at the very end.
Sunny Kaushal as Ankit is impressive, he is controlled and subtle in his menace, he is one heck of risk taker who is driven with ambition and greed. A flawed character done well. Yami Gautam, she is talented and once again impress everyone with her layered and nuanced performances.
Ankit, is rich businessman with a shady past, woos Neha, just to sleep with her and coax her into helping him steal the diamonds, which belong to home-minister, who is smuggling them through a human courier.
After losing her 8 weeks old baby, Neha figures out Ankit’s true colours, and double crosses him, and how she manages to pull off a heist, a terrorist attack, blackmail the home-minister and walks away with revenge and Rs 120 crore worth of diamonds, one needs to watch the film!
The film also stars Sharad Kelkar as a RAW officer, assigned to resolve hijack, he has very limited screen time but veteran actor still manages to hold your attention. Indraneil Sengupta’s role will remain a mystery, as he the is missing link and the dark night of the story.
Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is shot within a plane, most of the film, which is something new and refreshing to watch, plus the narrative is crafted in such a way that climax is worth the gasp!
