Critic Review
Tamanchey (2014) The film starts off with Munna Manohar Mishra (Nikhil Dwivedi), a kidnapper from Uttar Pradesh and his escapades from the police. At one point, he 'encounters' a bindaas and dare bare girl Bindiya Thakur aka Babu (Richa Chhadda), who happens to be a street-smart drug peddler from Delhi. They meet each other in police custody while being escorted to jail in different police vans. A fateful accident of both the vehicles enables the lucky duo to escape from the clutches of the cops, most of whom are dead in the accident. They become each other's survival kit and guide. Munna, who is initially shell shocked to see a girl as bold as Babu, gradually gets used to her and her foul mouthed mannerisms. What initially starts off as hesitation for Munna, gradually transforms into a matter of the heart, while he (despite being engaged to an unseen girl from his village) falls head over heels in love with Babu, who, on the other hand, never reciprocates her feelings for him, despite being his partner in crime all the time. Amidst an escapade train journey, the duo, after getting drunk inside a goods carrier, land up getting intimate with each other. It's only at 'dawn' that it dawns on Munna that Babu has left him, without any caveat. So much so, that when Babu had to choose between her much accustomed world of crime and Munna, she chose the former over the latter! A dejected Munna then goes all out in search of her and thus reaches Delhi, when he discovers a startling truth about Babu and her 'association' with the mercilessly brutal criminal Rana (Damandeep Sidhu). This time round, a determined Munna goes all out to woo Babu and win her over... all over again! While doing so, Munna and Babu accidentally land up killing a policeman. And the only person who can help them out is Rana, who is unaware of their romance which is brewing right under his nose. There is a sudden twist in the tale when Rana decides to leave the country along with Babu. And the only way by which they can escape this situation is by killing Rana. Will Rana ever get a whiff of the romantic liaison between Babu and Munna, will the Babu-Munna duo kill Rana in order to succeed in their love, will police ever be able to arrest the smart trio of Munna, Babu and Rana is what forms the rest of the story. .

The end, along with a good twenty minutes that precede it, seem entirely forced. No amount of catchy soundtrack, meticulous set design, or slick editing (by Manish Jaitly) can save the film from the lofty, misplaced ambitions of the people entrusted wi.

One star in the rating is reserved solely for the livewire, Richa Chadha. Like in Fukrey, in Tamanchey too, she gets her bindaas, badass girl act pat..

Tamanchey is soul-less tirade that is almost impossible to sit through. I am a survivor of the two hours of torture which should have had swagger, it doesn’t, should have had wit but it doesn’t and afterall the film should have had thrill which is abs.

It is easy to see that theatre actor Damandeep Singh Siddhu is a confident and competent performer. But those two attributes are wasted here. The hero admits at one point that the femme fatale he has fallen for is “zehar”. He could have been speak.

Overall, Tamanchey lacks novelty but can be watched once for its tongue in cheek dialogues.
