Bank Chor Movie Review: Riteish Deshmukh in a film still
Rhea Chakraborty, a news anchor constantly parroting that she is a graduate of the plausibly named Lady Immaculate college, speaks about idolising Arnab Goswami - whom she calls 'Argo' - but, while potentially interesting and definitely spritely, this character isn't given anything to do but plead. The character who has stuff to do is Vivek Oberoi, playing a hipflask-toting supercop who likes his criminals dead. While this might be the most watchable film he's been in for several years now, that really isn't saying much. Sahil Vaid, an amusing actor, has a meaty role here, that of a Faizabad fellow who can't stand casually informal speech - he furiously objects to all the tu-tadaak - but when the situation boils over, we see him tu-ing it as well. There is a distinct lack of consistency through the film.
There is also, rather upsettingly, a serious lack of Baba Sehgal. The pioneering rapper of the 90s shows up to play himself - and speaks like he tweets, in ridiculous rhyme - and while Sehgal is a scene-stealer, he isn't allowed to rob much. The film cruelly first gags him and then disposes of his role unceremoniously, and that is truly, truly unwise.
