Detailed Analysis:
'Tamanchey' is hitting the screens today and it seems an interesting crime drama. Film has rather twisted characters. Film tells us story of tow characters - Bindiya Thakur aka Babu (Richa Chaddha) and Munna Manohar Mishra (Nikhil Dwivedi) who met in a strange situation when police jeep carrying them to jail met with an accident. They keep running throughout the major part of first half until one morning Babu disappears after making love with Munna. Munna falls in love and searches for Babu like mad lover. Munna is a kidnapping expert and Babu deals in drug in NCR region. Babu works for Tau who is dreaded criminal cum wrestler and one day Munna arrives at Tau's place leaving Babu stunned. She is a kept of Tau and from here on wards how Munna plays games with Tau to get her love back in middle of all danger forms the rest of the story. Performance wise Nikhil Dwivedi is honest but he does not look comfortable at all in this character of rustic criminal as even his dialects leaves a lot to be desired. Richa Chaddha has proven time and again that she is one hell of a performer and she delivers yet another stunning act. Her raw sensuality adds spice to the film. Rest of the supporitng cast is decent. Background music is loud and music/songs are melodious but only the remix of oldies as original songs fail to capture mood. Script is wayward and tries to assimilate too many things. Cinematography is good but editing is poor especially in 2nd half. Costume and art department are below par!. Director Navneet Bahl has not done a bad job but he is done by bad writing. He tries too many things. For example, in very last shot the whole 'ghar - ghar' game just before shootout looks so out of the place. Film is never emotional or intense, it keeps swinging both sides. Film will release today and should get at least 450 screens which will be more than enough for such film as there is not much business potential. Film will find it tough at box office in middle of so many releases. Go for this one if you like your cinema different for sake of being different!
