Tamanchey

Watch it only if you have nothing better to do this weekend.

Tamanchey lacks novelty but can be watched once for its tongue in cheek dialogues.

A juvenile attempt to twine the Tarantino wine with desi Bonnie and Clyde whiskey, first timer producer director Suryaveer Singh Bhullar's 'Tamanchey' shoots many blanks in this desi action, attitude 'guy' type exercise that aims to be 'cool' but turns cold.

The movie just works for our lead couple performances, who try to hard to conceal the badly sketched story line.

Actually, the premise of this movie had potential. Two selfish and materialistic people suddenly find passion so strong that they can't keep their hands off each other and everything else starts taking a backseat. But unfortunately, the execution (director Navneet Behal) is terribly sketchy and immature.

No amount of catchy soundtrack, meticulous set design, or slick editing (by Manish Jaitly) can save the film from the lofty, misplaced ambitions of the people entrusted with guiding it.

The writing is superficial and the actors seem to be convinced of that. The otherwise reliable Richa Chadda tries to infuse some life but even she looks disinterested at times. Nikhil Dwivedi is also saddled with a role that is no great shakes. The back ground score has a zing but pity it is wasted on a film like Tamanchey.

The film, directed by Navneet Behal, gives the viewer nothing new. One wonders the purpose of making a crime film (we recently saw Desi Kattey, again titled after guns), that the viewer has seen a hundred times already. Curious, really!

Given the "different" setting for the love story Tamanchey could have had a spark that could've made it at least a film watching once, if not a good film. That as you know by now, didn't quite work out.

Watching TAMANCHEY gives you a feeling that the script was written on the sets, just like most of our television serials.

Tamanchey is soul-less tirade that is almost impossible to sit through. A plain terrible film that is nothing more than a waste of time and an encyclopedia of needless cussing. Tamanchey is easily an avoidable film.

An inane plot, poor execution and forced acting all makes for a bad film. Tamanchey misses the shot. Easily Avoidable.

The film has many loopholes, and some parts are hard to digest. But Tamanchey still qualifies for a one time watch. If you are expecting glamour of Bang Bang or class of Haider, then please plan something else for the week. But if you are a fan of crime capers, which are strange yet entertaining, then book the tickets for Tamanchey.

Tamanchey had all the glimmerings of a brilliant film but director Navneet kind of lost the opportunity make a cult film like Gangs Of Wasseypur. However, it's still a good one time watch just because of the performances…
