Twists! turns! on this flight journey, but you might not need a seatbelt
25 March 2023
Plot: Flight attendant, Yami Gautam, and her boyfriend, Sunny Kaushal, attempt a steal diamond whilst on a flight. What seemed like an easy job, gets complicated when the flight gets hijacked. Will they be able to stick to their plan? Is what the movie is all about.

This is a very fresh attempt and an original story that you rarely see these days in Hindi movie industry. Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga stays true to its storyline, a focused storytelling. The guy tries to woo the girl, they fall in love, there's a romantic song, they decide to marry and start a family, all this is taken care in the first 10minutes, and the story takes off as soon as the flight takes off on screen. Audience is hooked to the story as things are revealed in patches. In way they are entertaining, as there is hardly any dull moments for the viewers.

Good things: 1. Focused stroytelling - no BS! Or over-the-top action scenes or dialogues.

2. Original story (even if it's lifted the makers have done a good job) 3. Believable characters, Yami and Sunny have delivered exactly what the script demanded.

4. Will keep the viewers hooked.

5. You won't feel you have wasted your 2hours watching the movie.

Could have been different: 1. The way twists were presented seemed a bit plain. These were great twists, but could have been presented in a more dramatised way (dare I say it but an The Usual suspect'esqu ending would have made this movie a gem!)

2. An adrenaline pumping background scores during the movie would have been nice imho. (Something in recent time, Monica o'my darling had) such bgm kind of gives the viewers om-the-edge vibes!!

Conclusion:

The movie is good, could have been awesome but it's still is enjoyable. The movie unit deserve the appreciation for sticking to the storyline and not adding any unnecessary character development or melodrama. Viewers get what they expect after watching the trailer!

Considering the kind of unoriginal, masala flicks we are celebrating, this movie I hope stands out and the sequel (if it happens) becomes even better.

The movie is a 7.2, definately not 8.0 as the current rating is as of today.

The movie night not have that Wow factor, but it's still a well-made movie.
