Critic Consensus
Critical consensus on Tamanchey is largely negative, with most reviewers finding it a derivative and poorly executed crime thriller that offers nothing new to the genre. The most consistent praise was directed at Richa Chadha's performance, with several critics singling her out as a standout even amid the film's broader failings. Common criticisms centered on a hackneyed, superficially written screenplay, weak direction, and a wasted premise that many felt had potential for a more compelling film. A small minority found it a passable one-time watch due to the lead pair's chemistry and tongue-in-cheek dialogue.

"This hackneyed tale of a trio of law-breakers who struggle to keep out of harm's way only to discover that crime does not pay has no clear sense of place."Read full review ↗
"For this dish, you need to assemble the following. Girl. Should be able to handle guns and talk tough.... Guy. Who speaks some kind of weird mish-mash of UP-Bihari Hindi and a wildly-printed shirt, which tells us he is a) naïve and b)good-at-heart.... ...Serve"Read full review ↗
"Wild and wacky Tamanchey is an enjoyable rollercoaster rider about two mismatched criminals on the run who fall hopelessly in love. You know where this reckless couple is hurling to. But that doesn't stop this bang-bang affair from being a fun ride ."Read full review ↗
"Tamanchey is an enjoyable affair with crackling chemistry between the leads amidst the bloodshed and bullets, which keeps you entertained till the end."Read full review ↗
"One star in the rating is reserved solely for the livewire, Richa Chadha. Like in Fukrey, in Tamanchey too, she gets her bindaas, badass girl act pat."Read full review ↗
"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."Read full review ↗
"Watch it only if you have nothing better to do this weekend."Read full review ↗
"The film suffers in the editing department (Manish Jaitly) and so does the cinematography (Dani Sanchez Lopez). The film's screenplay (Shailesh Pratap Singh, Bharat Ratan) is very average, while action sequences (Kaushal & Moses) seem very stereotyped and bring nothing new to the table. All in all, TAMANCHEY is an average fare."Read full review ↗
"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."Read full review ↗
"Tamanchey lacks novelty but can be watched once for its tongue in cheek dialogues."Read full review ↗
"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."Read full review ↗
"The movie just works for our lead couple performances, who try to hard to conceal the badly sketched story line."Read full review ↗
"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."Read full review ↗
"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!"Read full review ↗
"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."Read full review ↗
"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."Read full review ↗
"Watching TAMANCHEY gives you a feeling that the script was written on the sets, just like most of our television serials."Read full review ↗
"An inane plot, poor execution and forced acting all makes for a bad film. Tamanchey misses the shot. Easily Avoidable."Read full review ↗
"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…"Read full review ↗
"Wild and wacky 'Tamanchey' is an enjoyable roller coaster ride about two mismatched criminals on the run who fall hopelessly in love."Read full review ↗
"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."Read full review ↗
