Ek Chatur Naar movie review

Ek Chatur Naar movie review

Divya Khosla Kumar is her most interesting and hatke role ever laced with quirky dark comedy tones, Umesh Shukla once gain takes up a social cause (to know the cause watch the film) and tells in it nicely. The USP of ‘Ek Chatur Naar’ remains its plot, setting and performances.

This songless thriller with black comedy tones is treated keeping the mass audience in mind, so there are certain liberties taken which cannot be ignored. The series of surprise after surprise which gets reveled during the third act seems a bit rushed. Anyways the ‘naagin’ metaphor is outstanding.

Performances

As said earlier Divya Khosla Kumar as Mamta Mishra is at her quirkiest best till date.

Neil Nitin Mukesh as Abhishek Verma is outstanding.

Chhaya Kadam as Mamta's mother-in-law is fabulous.

Yashpal Sharma is very effective

Heli Daruwala as Secretary Tina does very well.
