Detailed Analysis:
'Chaarfutiya Chhokare' is hitting the screens tomorrow and it is one more social thriller and it is placed in Bihar. Its releasing along with half dozen films. Film has rather thin plot. Neha Malini (Soha), who is an NRI girl returning to India in order to start a school in a village in north Bihar. Starting off optimistic and happy about her endeavor, she is unaware of the hardships, obstructions and risks awaiting her in this small, serene village. She is pleased after meeting three boys Awadhesh, Hari and Gorakh but soon finds out that it is the beginning of a nightmare. Being hardcore criminals, these three boys become the center of her activities. After seeing this, she vows to stop the criminal and sexual exploitation of the children in the village. Her meeting with Janaki (Seema Biswas) – the mother of one of the boys, Awadhesh – helps her understand the deeply embedded political-criminal nexus that pervades the system. Neha is resolute to free the three of them from this world of crime. Performance wise Soha Ali Khan delivers an honest act. But she lacks star presence or ability to rise above the script. Seema Biswas is good, Zakir Hussain and Govind Namdev are decent. Few not so known supporting actors deliver compelling acts. Background music of the film is cliche and songs are in sync with the film but still lacks that 'x' factor. Script is so wayward and bore that such a good story idea is murdered brutally on paper itself. Dialogues are strictly good. Cinematography is decent and editing is crisp. Costume and art department did fine. Director Mnaish Harishankar fails to impress as despite good story idea, he falters in almost every department. Film is not only bore but lacks cinematic experience. Film will release tomorrow and will not get opening of any sort for sure anywhere. Film will get competition from releases like 'Balwinder Singh Famous Ho Gayaa', '3 A.M.' and 'Desi Kattey'. Film will find it really tough at box office. .
