Umesh Shukla is a person whom I actually have loved for his body of labor. Be it Oh My God or 102 Not Out! But, also, Divya Khossla has been an actress whose body of labor I don’t relate to! Be it a weird dance with Neha Kakkar on Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi, on a rip-off of Bangalore Days titled Yaariyaan 2. Now, the 2 forces have united for a movie titled Ek Chatur Naar!
The primary tease of the film was a tribute to Sridevi, and I used to be terrified and petrified, pondering, This is likely to be a remake of Chaalbaaz! Thankfully, it isn’t. The film is a few woman deciding to blackmail a person after she by chance gets his phone and learns his secret which may turn the person’s life 360 degree! To this point, so good!
Ek Chatur Naar trailer plays on plenty of word-plays, certainly one of the strongest skill sets for Umesh Shukla, and these word plays appear on slides in between the trailer, one of the vital significant ones, which sets the premise – Gareeb Jaaga, Ameer Bhaaga! Clearly, Divya plays the Gareeb, and Neil Nitin Mukesh plays the Ameer!
With a title that’s a direct nod to the enduring song from Padosan, the trailer guarantees a battle of brains where nothing is so simple as it seems. But does it have the chaturai to maintain us hooked with the film as well, with Divya, obviously playing the ‘Chatur Naar’ as promised – while the premise definitely intrigues and the title suits well, I actually have my doubts!
While this might clearly have been one of the vital good cat and mouse chases, where a chatur naar checkmates the villain, this smart thriller doesn’t promise as much fun appropriately! The trailer lands flat, and as Divya Khossla explains in certainly one of the scenes, Sheher mein do tarah ki basto hoti hai – ek Nadi ke kinaare waali and ek naale ke kinaare waali. While she tries to travel from this Naale ka kinaara to the Nadi ka kinara, I’m not too sure if the journey might be as interesting because it sounds! Because I actually imagine, Filmein bhi do tarah ki hoti hain – ek acchi waali and doosri, allow us to skip that one!
