<p>Tamanchey greets you with a snazzy opening sequence, urging you to settle in for a good cinematic ride. And then, the rest of the film turns out to be as wayward as the bullets that henchmen fire at heroes in action flicks. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Bad editing, no story, a listless plot, unintentionally jerky camera work and utter disregard for continuity and believability end up making the film seem like a rust-eaten blunderbuss trying to work with moist gunpowder. If ever there was a spark of creativity, the storm resulting in the presence of a creative and a song director, besides the “visual” director, ensures that it never got a fire going. <br /><br />Mysteriously disappearing and reappearing cuts – both on the skin and clothes, unnecessary scenes, gaping plot holes and a drawn-out yawn-inducing climax only make matters worse. Arrested cons Munna (Nikhil Dwivedi as the quintessentially misogynistic UP boy who is also an extortionist) and Babu (Richa Chaddha as the hard-nosed no-nonsense Punjabi/Haryanvi drug-dealer) are apparently the sole survivors when the police van they are being transported in crashes. <br /><br />Munna wants to return home for his marriage, slated for a few days later, but no cake for you for guessing what transpires between the fugitives. Babu abruptly returns to her “man”, the wrestler-turned-drug kingpin Rana (a menacing, hate-able Damandeep Sidhu). <br /><br />Munna tracks her down and becomes a member of Rana’s gang, robbing banks. Interestingly, the lead pair also manages to sneak in some “tender” moments in the midst of one such heist! <br /><br />The single star the film gets is because of a small kitty of sparkling dialogues, Sidhu’s negative turn, and a few moments in the climax where the lead pair finally gets to display some real acting. Otherwise, Tamanchey feels like it has been unnecessarily censored just to get a “U/A”.<br /><br /></p>
