Bobby Deol leads the cast of ‘Chamku,’ a film that marked its 17th anniversary. The story follows the transformation of Chandrama Singh, also known as Chamku, from a Maoist follower under Danny Denzongpa to a government assassin, with Irrfan Khan making a significant impact. The film’s director, Kabeer Kaushik, attempted a gritty storyline, but the film, despite the actor’s efforts, failed to resonate fully. The narrative features romantic elements with Priyanka Chopra, whose character is not effectively utilized. The film’s plot, centered around revenge and redemption, struggles to overcome its conventionality. The action sequence on a train is well-executed, but it is not enough to save the film. The film ‘Chamku’ is seen as a missed opportunity.
