Ek Chatur Naar, directed by Umesh Shukla. Known for mixing humor with strong social messages (Oh My God!, 102 Not Out), Shukla is now back with a black comedy thriller that blends laughs with nail-biting suspense.
Starring Divya Khossla Kumar in her most transformative role yet and Neil Nitin Mukesh as a man trapped in a dangerous game of deceit, the film explores how one clever woman’s manipulations turn a small-town story into a high-stakes thriller.
What is Ek Chatur Naar About?
Set in a quirky small town, the story follows Mamta Mishra (Divya Khossla Kumar) a young single mother who appears timid but hides a razor-sharp brain. When she gets access to a fund consultant’s phone, she uncovers secrets that allow her to twist lives to her advantage.
Enter Abhishek Verma (Neil Nitin Mukesh), the “emotional fool” caught in Mamta’s clever schemes. What starts as harmless interactions soon spirals into blackmail, manipulation, and shocking twists every seven minutes, keeping the audience guessing till the very end.
