not the best of movies but has an old plotline to it, revenge. With 2 A- class actors and some b-class actors, this film doesn't reach the standards expected. Could have been more action packed. The film is like 1hr 45 mins, quite short for a standard bolly-film. The songs are lower than average and so is the storyline. Bobby deol (chamku), in his child had to suffer the sight of a man killing his father for reporting him to the police. Chamku himself was shot in the shoulder but survived. He grew in a group KA the naxalites, they go around killing rapists etc. Half the group gets killed in an ecounter and chamku is shot twice but sill sirvives. Here irfan walks him to give him a job or he will be shot. He takes he job which is to be an assassin for him, he is trained up fully with 29 others inclu. ritesh, rajpal. 6 survive from the 29 and many die because of suspisions and they wanted to leave. Chamku remains still and and is asked to train up sum more ppl. About half way into the movie he meets priyanka, she is a teacher to small kids and chamku helps her take them across a road. He likes her and meets he several times, from their hey become lovers. Chamku has to leave on training and later we find out she is pregnant. Chamku has also foound out the whereabouts of his fathers killer. Chamku gets a chance to kill him in the end and sum wierd twist happens, which i don't understand e.g. why did he kill irfan?? Wat offer did he giv that guy? Not a recommended film

Chamku was actually a happy village boy who saw his father being shot by the local thakur and could never rest happy ever after. The problem with Chamku is its disjointed script and its relentless flashbacks which mar a film that could have tread new ground. ... Full Review

Chamku, which sounds more like a comedy is far from laughs, is actually based on the series theme of naxalism. Then with some stroke of luck, an intelligent agency officer makes a deal with Chamku: he now becomes a state sponsored assassin. ... Full Review
