Ghanchakkar (film)

Crazy) is a 2013 Indian heist black comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Gupta and produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur from UTV Motion Pictures.

[4][5][6][7][8] 'Sanju' (Emraan Hashmi) is an expert- master safe cracker who maintains a casual lifestyle with his wife Neetu (Vidya Balan).

After the bank robbery, Pandit decides that Sanju should keep the suitcase of money hidden (as Pandit and Idris already have record with the police, coupled with the fact that Sanju is married, and will be the least suspected by the police ) and that they will meet after three months and then they will split the money.

After three months, Pandit and Idris discover that Sanjay lost his memory in an accident with head injury and hence, Sanju is suffering from retrograde amnesia.

Pandit and Idris decide that they can not trust Sanju anymore, they need to keep a close eye on him in case he runs away.

Then, he suspects his wife Neetu of knowing the hiding place of the money because she has a joint account with him and also sole-access to their bank-locker.

Under pressure and now frustrated, Pandit and Idris kidnap Neetu and ask Sanjay to meet them in a train station by writing a note and attaching it to the screen of his TV, on the third platform at 1:30am.

When he pulls the trigger on his pistol, he is shot dead by the unknown person and thereafter, he kills Pandit in a rage in the train.

Disillusioned, confused and tired, Sanjay throws his phone out of the train while Neetu smiles.

All lyrics are written by Amitabh BhattacharyaEmraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan worked hard to bring the film to a wider audience.

The critic continued: "Vidya Balan, in particular, deserves to be singled out for applause simply because of her willingness as a leading lady to take on a role this farcical.
