The film ‘Chamku,’ released 17 years ago, presents a complex narrative centered around Chandrama Singh, also known as Chamku, played by Bobby Deol. The story follows Chamku’s journey from a Maoist associate under Danny Denzongpa to a government assassin. The film, directed by Kabeer Kaushik, was met with mixed reactions. Chamku’s character is marked by a consistently serious demeanor, which he maintains throughout the film’s events. Irrfan Khan’s performance provides a pivotal offer, leading to Chamku’s transformation into an assassin. Eventually, Chamku encounters Priyanka Chopra, although her role is considered underutilized. Their interaction leads to love, songs, and pregnancy, amidst the backdrop of a familiar revenge drama. The film’s plot, exploring themes of revenge and redemption, failed to fully captivate, despite a well-executed action sequence set on a train.
