Critic consensus

What 11 critics are saying

Critical reception for 'Chor Chor Super Chor' is mixed-to-negative, with most scores clustering in the 40-50 range and an overall sense of unfulfilled potential. Several critics acknowledged the film's clever or original premise, and Deepak Dobriyal's performance was singled out as a saving grace across multiple reviews. The most consistent criticism points to weak execution, a script that loses momentum in its final stretch, and a narrative that fails to sustain its initial promise for a feature-length runtime.

    A script like this, finessed into something sharp, would make for a fine film. This one will please Dobriyal fans, but its annoying need to act like a farce with a laugh-track is what ironically dashes its chances.

    Turning the tables on someone usually is a fun thing. But the execution is amateurish, so is most of the acting, even if Dobriyal keeps some of it humming. This may have been a good half hour reality show, perhaps, but doesn't have enough for a full-length feature film.

    The story doesn't make a lick of sense and that would've been fine had the film actually been funny instead of tedious.

    'Chor Chor Super Chor' is an intelligent film which has all the ingredients of a sleeper hit. It's a fantastic watch this weekend for its quirky narrative. You can pick 'Chor Chor Super Chor' for its jovial moments.

    This enjoyable film is a surprise. It sparkles with original wit directed at lives that would have been truly sad if they weren`t so funny.

    CHOR CHOR SUPER CHOR has situations that have you laughing not at the comedy but at the ingenuity of the plot. This could have been one helluva movie. But like the robber, it gets trapped in its own doing. A clever idea done in by some not-so-clever thinking.

    Exploring the Capital on the big screen is in vogue but not all the efforts reach their destination. This particular film comes very close to stealing its spot.

    With some more enthusiasm and zest the film would have had a better impact. Watch it for the performances and some funny gags.
  9. KoiMoi

    Film review ·

    Chor Chor Super Chor is not a bad film but it shocks you with being dull and less promising as compared to what the trailer had promised. This is an interesting idea that is slayed due to a lack of zestful execution. I am going with 2/5. Watch it for Deepak Dobriyal alone! And if sanity and you are friends, avoid it!
  10. Mumbai Mirror

    Film review ·

    When the plot comes to a cul-de-sac three-fourths the way in, it's almost as if some other film starts and needlessly stretches a secondary track to a primary climax and closes the romantic angle as if it were an afterthought.
