Chaalis Chauraasi (4084)


Just imagine…
Four friends attempting to rob a whopping 20 cr. guarded only by 2 men at a lonely locality. But there is a glitch; they do not have a plan!
Pankaj suri (Nasaruddin Shah), ex HOD & English literature professor at the University ropes in three of his friends; Albert Pinto (Kay Kay Menon)- a car thief obsessed with vintage Fiat, Bobby (Atul Kulkarni)-a Pimp who calls himself the ‘Manager’ & Shakti Chinnappa (Ravi Kishan) a straightforward drug-peddler who dislikes moral lecturing!
It is a heist gone wrong movie! The four of them plan to pose as Mumbai police in order to scare off the two men guarding the loot. Obviously, to pretend as policemen they require khakhi pants, sunglasses, a few pistols & a Police van. Albert manages to get his hands on a red van numbered 4084, which they intend to revamp into a police van, but to their dismay it is stolen from them! Now that their master plan has gone for a toss, they decide to go ahead with 'no-plan' as their new plan!
With no vehicle how would they look convincing enough? What about their ‘New plan’? Will they be able to get their hands on the 20 cr.? What if special agents & real policemen get involved? What if another character, gangster ‘Tony bisleri’ gets entangled in this situation?
Fantabulous performances by the veteran actors is the only opium that would keep you intoxicated in this crime comedy movie. Screen play is good despite loopholes in the story. The ‘chemistry’ between Atul Kulkarni & Kay Kay Menon manages to generate quite a few LOL moments & is far better than chemistry or biology of the tacky item songs! Overall result- manages to scrape through as a raunchy heist comedy!
Watch it if you like the actors, but do not expect too much from the movie- Acting is flawless, the movie is not!
