646f9e108c A traumatized child becomes a Naxalite, and upon being captured must agree to become a police-assassin. Chandrama Singh alias Chamku is raised by Baba, a Naxal leader, in the southern interiors of Bihar, after his family was brutally murdered. He later gets picked up under a covert Governmental program jointly conceived by RAW and Intelligence Bureau to carry out political assassinations. He falls in love with Shubhi, a kindergarten teacher and decides to lead a reformed life but a chanced encounter entangles him in the world of crime once again. Another one-film old writer-director Kabeer Kaushik presented Chamku the same Friday. However, it failed to match his earlier venture Sehar. Chamku is the story of an eponymous character played by Bobby Deol, whose parents were brutally murdered by naxalites when he was a kid. He later gets picked up under a covert Govt intelligence program to carry out political assassinations. The character is almost unbreakablehe survives several gun shots and multiple murder attempts. Though a female character was not required, Priyanka Chopra looks good in a perpetual blue chiffon saree with a stringed blouse in her kindergarten teacher role. An outdated revenge drama, Chamku failed to shine at all. As it was a movie directed by Kabeer Kaushik of &quot;Seher&quot; fame, i was expecting much more than served. The promos were lacking the pull and so was the movie. It started offa regular revenge drama when a child witnesses the murder of his family and then remembers it to take his revenge later on in his youth.<br/><br/>The child is picked by a naxalite group led by Danny and he transforms him into a sharp shooter Bobby Deol. The twist in the story comes when Bobby is chosen by the Intelligence Agencies to work for them. And thats it, no other novelty is there in the plot and there are the same old sub plots of love and emotions seen several times before on the silver screen.<br/><br/>It is strange why the director selected this script, which had nothing new to offer and had no experimentation which was seen in his first movie &quot;Seher&quot;. Subjects on Police and Intelligence Agencies seem to be the favorites of Kabeer Kaushik. But this time he has not given even half of what was there in &quot;Seher&quot;.<br/><br/>Though the performance of Bobby Deol needs special mention but that goes unnoticedthe film fails to generate any interest. He shows improvement in his actan extension to what he played in &quot;Bichhoo&quot;. But an entire talented starcast is just doing nothing in the film. Priyanka Chopra looks ravishing but has no characterisation to work on. Irfan Khan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Rajpal Yadav, Deepal Shaw are simply there doing their act unconvincingly. There are no relief momentsboth Ritesh &amp; Rajpal are given intense characters for a change, which sadly does not work.<br/><br/>Music also has the same feel of being unimpressive and Monty has just given a regular score for the movie. Action is good but the viewer gets an overdose of bloodshed. In the recent times, similar kind of subjects have been seen earlier in &quot;Contract&quot; and many more.<br/><br/>So there in very less to offer this time by the talented directorhis script lets him down.
