Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga review: Yami Gautam steals the show (Hindustan Times)

The benchmark that Sonam Kapoor-starrer Neerja set for a hijack drama is too high to be matched, and that's why whenever I watch a hijack-hostage film, I can't ...

I really wish makers had kept more of him in the film, especially when he is questioning all the passengers and staff after the hijack is over. With a lot of layers and shades to her character, she's confident and carries a swag which is hard to miss. Gianni Giannelli's cinematography is intense and the mid-air shots of the plane both from outside and inside add to the chaos. Nevertheless, I liked how Singh captures the tension in the plane when passengers are in a state of panic though at some places, hijackers appear to be a bit undertrained for the job and end up looking messy. Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga starring Yami Gautam and Sunny Kaushal is no different and yes, you end up comparing it with Neerja in terms of the technicalities, the way hijackers behave and understanding their motive to be able to decode the plot. There are some easy giveaways when things seem pretty predictable but when the actual story unfolds, you are taken by surprise and thankfully it's not a case of too little too late.

OTT Review: Yami Gautam's Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga - Hindi film on ... (123Telugu.com)

Yet another film of actress Yami Gautam named Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga has taken the direct OTT route. The movie, directed by Ajay Singh, has Sunny Kaushal in ...

On the whole, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is a heist-hijack thriller that has a good premise but an underwhelming finish. The concept was fascinating, and the movie could have been a great thriller if not for the issues in writing. But one gets disappointed with the mid and final portions after a promising start. The movie is wrapped up just in 100 minutes. The way the hijack is showcased lacks conviction and sounds silly. Hence it is important that the makers need to be more careful to outsmart the viewers and can’t go wrong even with one scene, especially for a thriller. With no option left, Neha and Ankit decide to do the robbery on a plane that is carrying the diamonds. This is where the movie takes a nosedive. The basic premise of the film is pretty exciting. The movie has a few interesting moments. Ankit is asked to do a diamond robbery to repay the debt. Till the time the hijack happens, the movie moves on an interesting note, but later it turns out to be disappointing.

And the moment it reveals its cards, with alert viewers seeing it come, it loses zing. Gautam is having quite a time with all kinds of films: we last saw her in ‘Lost’, in which she plays an investigative journalist; here she is a comely flight attendant who knows more than she lets on. Goons and guns.

Part of the review of the film on OTTplay reads “Once the film reaches the post-hijack situations, things start to unravel, which defies logic and brings in a lot of questionable situations”.

Sharad Kelkar delivers a commanding performance as a RAW officer in the film. The script, written by Siraj Ahmed and Amar Kaushik, is akin to a nesting doll, with smaller dolls popping out gradually until the ultimate revelation. The movie is Currently available for streaming on Netflix, the film opens with standard sequences of a man wooing a woman, making it hard to predict what will happen next (as suggested by the title inspired by the children's rhyme Akkad Bakkad Bambe Bo).

Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is just short of being the most botched-up heist ... (ThePrint)

What disappoints the most is how the Ajay Singh directorial wastes away actors Sharad Kelkar and Indraneil Sengupta in its hurried plot.

The main culprit of the film’s failure has to be its editing. He commits to the role of a robber (Ankit) and loses his cool so naturally and seamlessly as if he’s unaware that he’s on camera. He has upped the ante of playing a robber — Nobody would feel sympathy for his character, the actor has ensured. Kelkar as intelligence officer Sheikh has little screen presence to flesh out his character, and Sengupta is there only to stand in the shadows. Directed by Ajay Singh, the film aspires to be a genre-bender by bringing tropes of a heist and hijack thrillers together. There is little character development of the hostages — they are shown to be completely out of focus and you stay unbothered about casualties.

Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga Review: Yami Gautam Powers The Film Along (NDTV)

Sunny Kaushal has a rakish charm that is a perfect fit for a character who pushes his luck too far after he has dug a huge hole for himself.

But the role has limited emotional bandwidth and that stymies the possibility of a truly memorable turn. As the layers that hide their true colours are peeled in quick succession after the plane has made an emergency landing in Kullu, the film changes course a number of times. The reveals fly so thick and fast that it becomes rather easy after a point to second-guess what lies ahead. Written by Shiraz Ahmed and Amar Kaushik and directed by Ajay Singh, the quirky crime caper centres on a mid-air diamond heist that is upended by the hijack of an aircraft with 150 passengers on board. The last one-third of the 110-minute film delivers revelations and swivels that centre on individuals who string each other along. The writers of Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga, a Maddock Films production presented by Netflix, are like wily cardsharps who get a touch carried away by their bag of tricks and overplay their hand at the business end of their fraught game.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga' on Netflix, Where Multiple ... (Decider)

Yami Gautam Dhar and Sunny Kaushal bring rom-com chemistry to the heist movie mechanics of Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga, where everybody's trying to steal millions ...

(On that point, the sequel it teases seems like it might pick up the slack.) But ultimately, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is free to get a little loose with its details, since the chemistry between Yami Gautam and Sunny Kaushal is such a winning feature. Our Take: In its first few minutes, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga leaps from the film’s present, to eight hours earlier, to eight months in the past, and then back to the present. And in the midair thriller department, it still doesn’t get much better than [Red Eye](https://decider.com/movie/red-eye/), the 2005 Wes Craven film that featured Rachel McAdams matching wits with Cillian Murphy, plus Succession’s Brian Cox sporting [brown hair](https://decider.com/what-to-watch/red-eye/). The Gist: When flight attendant Neha (Yami Gautam Dhar) has a passing encounter with Ankit (Sunny Kaushal) on her New Delhi route, it’s crazy palpable chemistry at first sight, and the text flirting and mutual social media stalking begins in earnest. They’ve got a plan for him to intercept a courier hired by Indian home minister Sanyal (Barun Chanda), switch out the diamond-encrusted mobile device he’s carrying for a dummy, and do a deal for the stones that keeps them alive and hopefully gets them paid. The question is, can Neha and Ankit’s meet-cute survive when the double-crosses start to fall?
