Synopsis
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
