'Chamku' is Directed by Kabeer Kaushik. The director has come up with a beaten track of subject and though the
presentation has been good the narrative lost out big time and this was expected since the script did not have anything
different to prove.
An old story retold, the film is about Chandrama Singh more known as Chamku (Bobby) and the location is the dense and
deep forests in Bihar. Apparently, Chamku is an orphan who grows up in the rough environment and believes in the
philosophy of gun which leads him to become a dreaded naxalite. However, the police forces get successful in nabbing him
and instead of killing him, the cop (Irrfan Khan) comes with a proposal. He takes Chamku as part of an undercover
programme and the motto is 'Kill or get Killed'. Chamku becomes a government assassin and as things go with his daily
killings, life changes when he comes across the pretty heroine (Priyanka Chopra) and his love with gun changes to love for
the woman. However, the past that he has been dealing with comes to the surface and things take a violent shape. And what
happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Presentation:
The dialogues were just about okay, even the technical values were not upto the mark with music being a major letdown and
the editing was not crisp. The pace of the movie was slow and the only saving grace is some top notch camerawork.
Another life to the movie has been some top notch performance by Bobby who came up with a real emotional and high
voltage performance while Priyanka had nothing much to do except flaunting her sarees. A highly impressive star cast of
Irrfan Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Riteish Deshmukh was grossly underutilized and they cannot be blamed since there was not
much scope to perform for them here. Akhilendra Mishra was alright, Danny comes and goes. Deepal Shaw was wasted, the
item song of Rosa was a glimmer of visual feast. The others need no mention here.
