Bank robbery films have always excited me but in the case of Bank Chor, it is like watching an unfunny joke being told by the least popular kid in the class. Riteish Deshmukh plays a smart-alecky bank robber who gets embroiled in a mess while robbing a bank with two of his dim-witted associates. Things take a turn when they realize that amidst the hostages is one more bank robber who is more experienced and cunning than the trio put together. Amateur director Bumpy has tried to expand a 10-minute short into a 2-hour narrative that powers itself with fast-delivered one-liners and occasional twists. Instead of supporting the film's movement, Vivek Oberoi and Rhea Chakraborty disrupt it by playing nonsensical characters that do not hold muster. There's a reeking political angle in the plot that worsens the proceedings. Even though everything falls in place towards the end, to make Bank Chor look like a clever film, whatever happens in the first 30 minutes is enough to doze you off. Sahil Vaid goes borderline overacting but makes it at least bearable. There are a lot of issues with Bank Chor and even if the makers corrected it, it would still be a film that should not be recommended. There is just no substance here. TN.

'Bank Chor' is actually a pleasant surprise. I mean, its no masterpiece, but its definitely a decent film, that has a strong second-hour as a plus. Sure, its never compelling enough to be called great, but there is some potential here, that cannot be denied.'Bank Chor' tells the story of 3 buffoons (Riteish Deshmukh, Vikram Thapa & Bhuvan Arora) who, while trying to rob a bank, pick the worst day possible when everything that can go wrong, goes wrong and how they're inadvertently caught in the crossfire.'Bank Chor' has a slow first-hour & how the buffoons try to rob the bank hardly offer any laughs. Even the entry of the super-cop (Vivek Oberoi, in an okay performance) doesn't get you thrilled. But, wait for it...'Bank Chor' has a sharp twist towards the interval point & from there-on, the film shifts gears from being a crime-comedy to a thriller of sorts & it works. The second-hour is filled with surprises & the climatic twist is indeed cleverly written. In short, 'Bank Chor' has a weak first-hour, but an interesting second, that somewhat makes for it. The Screenplay is erratic & how one wishes if the Writing as strong in the first-hour as its in the second. The Dialogue, however, range from funny to ordinary. Bumpy's Direction is fine. Cinematography & Editing are average. Art Design is good. Performance-Wise: Riteish Deshmukh is excellent as the leader his bumbling group. The talented actor shines, even when the Writing doesn't support him. Vikram Thapa & Bhuvan Arora are appropriately goofy as the jokers from Delhi. Their banter with Ritiesh & the entire Mumbai versus Delhi angle, raises a few laughs. Rhea Chakraborty is cute. Sahil Vaid is effective in a meaty role. Upendra Limaye & Sandesh Kulkarni are excellent. Naveen Kaushik is first-rate. Baba Sehgal is funny. On the whole, 'Bank Chor' isn't perfect, but absorbing in parts nonetheless.

It's hard for me to review this film, as I have not seen a huge number of Indian films--probably no more than a couple dozen. Most of the ones I've seen were wonderfully entertaining but I am far from an expert on Bollywood. Because of this, I have a hard time knowing how good this film is relative to other films from this country. So, consider this when you read this review. This may be among the very best India has to offer or it just seems that way to me. I don't understand bad review of the movie . As soon as i started it . i didn't move my eyes of it. thought a comedy . but soon it turned out be a great heist. and the ending was perfect . should be a sequel.

'Bank chor' is a Bollywood heist comedy thriller film which is directed by Bumpy and distributed under Yash Raj Fims banner.Bank Chor is another comedy film of Riteish Deshmukh and Vivek Oberoi. Though their last film "Great Grand Masti" was highly disappointed, Bank chor is full of entertainment. Last few years Bollywood couldn't deliver us a comedy thriller film like this. "Hera Pheri" was bollywood's best comedy thriller film. We cannot compare "Bank chor"with "Hera pheri". But Bank chor's comedy was not bad. Nothing to say about Vivek Oberoi's and Riteish Deshmukh's acting. They gave their best as well as. You can enjoy this movie with family and friends because their is no adult comedy.
