Chatur Singh 2 Star is based on a novel, titled Chalak
Jasoos by M. Raza.
The only admirable thing in this film is the outstanding
cinematography which captures the attractive, wonderful
locales of Cape Town in South Africa.

So here goes our Chatur Singh on a secret mission to
South Africa. His bumbling mannerisms, clumsiness and of
course, his 'super intelligence' sets off a string of
events which lead to more chaos and confusion than anyone
could have ever imagined. In an attempt to make matters
comical, Chatur Singh also has a sidekick called Pappu
(Suresh Menon).
To be honest, there are some moments which are funny, but
as compared to Sanju Baba’s other comedy films, this isn’t
even a quarter of it. Outlandish get-ups and over the top
acting are served aplenty in the name of comedy.

All characters try their best and end up indulging in
buffoonery. The punches and jokes do not appeal at all.
There is nothing like a story in this film. Just
unsuccessful attempts to pack one joke after another.
Chatur Singh 2 Star enacted by Sanjay Dutt is a police
officer always ending up botching up cases and making a
fool of himself. He is a disgrace to the Mumbai Police
Department.
Inspite of making a mess of almost every case handed to
him, Chatur Singh has just been handed the biggest case in
the department's history. This is a perfect chance for him
to prove everyone why he is the best officer they have.
A corrupt politician (Gulshan
Grover) is shot by a sharpshooter, and the prime suspect
is Sonia (Amisha Patel). She gets framed for the murder.
Also connected to this crime is the mystery of missing
diamonds, which lead to South Africa.

Sanjay Dutt appears out of form in this film. There is no
chemistry between him and other comical characters played
by master comedians like Suresh Menon, Satish Kaushik and
even Anupam Kher. Sanju Baba at some instances appears
over the top. Ameesha Patel looks out of place in this
comedy.
The incidents in South Africa are unbelievable and
difficult to search any humour in them. There are
sequences which appear amateurish, and except for a couple
of songs, there is nothing in this film. More so, inspite
of having gathered master comedians like Sanju baba,
Suresh Menon and others.
