Saat Uchakkey: Pretentious yet entertaining

A cop and robbers story, "Saat Uchakkey" is a pretentiously creative film that offers lessons of life regarding hope, desire and fate. The prologue begins with a scene in a mental hospital and co-relates the events with fables from the Panchatantra. Blended with abstract and reality and treated as a comedy, the film promises you an unusual cinema experience. Set in the heart of old Delhi, the film revolves around seven good-for-nothings who want to become rich. Pappi Jatwala (Manoj Bajpayee) is a failed entrepreneur dealing with antiques. After hearing an old lady in his neighbourhood rant about how the Diwan (Anupam Kher) has stolen and stacked her family treasures in his haveli, Pappi devises a plot to raid the Diwan's home. How he bands his team and they execute the heist, forms the crux of the drama.
