Sangeeth Sivan directed Chura Liya Hai Tumne
marks the acting debut of yesteryear actor Sanjay Khan’s
son Zayed Khan. The film, co-starring Esha Deol, is
the story of love, trust, betrayal and the mad rush
for money.
The film tells the story of Vijay (Zayed), a handsome
charmer and a con man rolled into one. In a chance meeting,
Vijay comes to know Tina (Esha Deol) in Goa and a romance
develops between the two.
But the lovers soon separate as Tina is urgently summoned
to Bangkok, Thailand, where her uncle has been killed
in an accident. Vijay follows Tina to commiserate with
her.
A new scandal
comes to fore when Tina is told that her late uncle
was wanted in India for a Rs. 10 crore gold heist from
the RBI.
To further increase her troubles, three of her uncle’s
accomplices, freed from Indian prisons, come to Bangkok
to get the money and start chasing Tina.
Another shocking truth stuns Tina after she discovers
that her beau Vijay is actually Prakash Yogi, the brother
of a fourth accomplice of her uncle's in the gold theft.
Confronted with Tina, Vijay takes off all his masks
to reveal his true identity. He is in fact not even
Yogi but a crook who too was after the money. But he
also concedes that he was in love with her.
A confounded Tina doesn’t know whom to trust and rely
on in this troubled hour?
Review
Directed by Sangeeth Sivan Chura Liya Hai Tumne
sees the acting debut of Sanjay Khan’s son Zayed Khan.
Zayed is good looking and sports a hep look throughout
the film. In fact, there are many instances where it
seems that too much attention has been paid to show
Zayed as a cool dude. Had half of the effort been put
in getting an optimal histrionic output from the actor
the film might have been more interesting.
Chura Liya Hai Tumne could've been an ideal popcorn
flick. But the movie falls due to mediocre screenplay,
hackneyed plot and poor performances form the actors.
The only thing that stands out in the movie is director
Sivan’s style of cinematic presentation.
Sivan develops the plot at a feverish pace, not giving
a viewer to bat an eyelid. The narrative does manage
to arrest your attention intermittently despite the
shortcomings.
The highlight of the movie is its nail-biting climax
that uplifts the film to another level. Like a bolt
out of the blue, the suspense in the climax catches
you unaware and the concluding reels are equally gripping
Worth a watch.
