The film “Chamku” starts with a promise to be “Gangajal” but the film lacks the compact script to hold on even in the initial hour. The action scenes from Bobby Deol are effective and a few dialogues are memorable but you don’t have a soul in this movie. The film is not intense, the way it should have been and it even lacks logic in the way it depicts the script.

The movie starts with a young Chandrama Singh Varma, Chamku who is born and brought up in the Naxalite areas and as a kid he watches the murder of his father in front of his eyes .He joins the naxalite group as a grown up and once he escapes a police encounter, he is used by the police to kill politicians. While he is working for the police, he gets in love with a teacher, who later gets pregnant. Chamku gives wrong information about himself to the lady teacher and he tells he is a banker .Then Chamku is present in the Naxal areas and he reaches RAW from where, it’s unclear.

The film has romance, action, thrills, a series of Naxalites stories and even political games but none is linked to other properly and the film can be watched in breaks. Even the shoot locations are confusing and how the glamour gets into the rural areas is still more confusing.

The film lacked a clear script and depiction made it further unclear. Director Kabeer Kaushik, who made the film Saher (Arshad Warsi fighting the local don), lacked similar clarity in this film. He should have concentrated to one topic and depicted it properly.
The music of the film is another drawback, it is not rural like “Omkara” and not even bollywood masala kind with items. You have punjabi folk, western and rural north belt songs all in one.

The performance of Bobby and Priyanka is very filmy and illusory. The film will not have average response in multiplexes and may get audience in some regions in north, audience who want to watch the actions from Bobby Deol will go to watch the movie.

Rating: 3/10
