The yami Gautam-Sunny Kaushal film is fine till it stays on the two of them, but when it starts to play with all its other threads, it starts feeling scattered.

The problem is that the big reveals aren't particularly rewarding, and while there's enough entertainment value to sustain the movie, all the plot twists and backstories and big reveals get to be exhausting.

A slick, competent romp with enough rug-pulls to make you dizzy, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is a film that values fooling its audience much more than having them along for the ride... But that’s par for the course when it comes to junk-food thrillers.

A smart and entertaining thriller...
