Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein is apparently a fictional rendition of the highly scandalous murder case of to-be-producer Karan Kakkar. The events of this crime occurred all over India, especially in the city of stars and showbiz—Mumbai. Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein unfolds the horrific events encountered by a group of 5 friends, who in a bid to have larger-than-life experiences, end up getting doomed. The screenplay of the movie seems realistic and keeps a certain raw sense during the initial sequences. After couple of minutes have passed, you get to realise that Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein is one of those movies with a unique packaging but the inside still keeps a hollow space.

The video replays the incidents as they happened. As things begin to unfold, the cops realise there's more to the aforesaid crime than meets the eye. They trace down a witness, who can solve the jigsaw puzzle but he fabricates his story. Who is the mastermind? Though the 'whodunit thriller' manages to hold your attention, solely for maintaining the suspense quotient, various factors go against it. For instance, non-linear narration, found-footage photography and inconsequential banter among the youngsters. Also too many characters make the plot convoluted. Naseeruddin's Shah clever (as always) acting, ably supported by Amit Sial and Anand Tiwari, makes this crime mystery gripping, despite the flaws. If you can keep a tab on the multiple characters and their ulterior motives, this one is quite unpredictable and keeps you guessing.
