Movie review: Ghanchakkar, Vidya steals the show

Ghanchakkar kicks off with Sanjay Athray (Emran Hashmi) who is a master in his one and the only profession, robbery. But he decides to give up his con job after a last heist alongwith two



But the director through her fully portrays the notorious and the over excited Punjabi mindset which cannot be ignored. Not to forget ‘Hainnn' which she adds every then and now.

Except her light humour act the few cheesy dialogues go haywife. Though, they try hard to enlighten you but they just drag you to make you laugh.

There is one scene where the thief duo relates Emraan Hashmi's lost memory situation with that of Ghajini's character. They alongwith Emraan guess all possible Khans who would have played the role in that flick just leaving out Aamir Khan. So awful.

If we look at the performances, Emraan Hashmi in his second venture after ‘Ek thi Daayan' this year has given a good performance. The suspicion and confusion he carries in his eyes looks humorous and at the same time is mysterious.

Vidya Balan as a Punjabi housewife is lovable in every scene she marks her presence. The way in which she delivers her Punjabi lines works as a punch of laughter.

Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das are equally brilliant in their act. Together they both bring out fine performances.

Amit Trivedi is a gem of a talent. He adds a great melody in the background while songs are also likeable, though there are only two songs. One in the beginning, the other in the end.

I'll go with two stars for ‘Ghanchakkar'. Enter the theatres only for Vidya Balan or else look out for other options this weekend.
