Not a bad movie at all.. It grips you all the way.. Performances, Background score picturisationeverything was quite good.. couldn't figure out that why it was just given two stars overall.. It deserved atleast more than that. Worth a Watch for sure.

In general not a bad film. I didn't watch the film with any expectations which is probably why i was pleasantly surprised. Emraan does his job well. Neha is beautiful and surely should be in more films. The plot is decent but there are flaws

I'd like to begin with the funny moment: recently I have been presented with a DVD (4 movies on 1 DVD, among which there was Crook), when I wanted to watch Crook, I realised that it was recorded at the multiplex, I threw it away immediately. The movie grabbed my attention from the very first frame, but the sequence at the multiplex with Emraan Hashmi doing a CamRip didn't turn out to be what I expected of the movie, even though I wasn't thinking about racism at all. A litlle bit of illegal actions which don't come over-exaggerated, a little bit of romance and sure a little bit of Australia. So that's why the movie is not boring: it is sometimes entertaining, sometimes dwelling superficially on very serious problems and I can claim that most of the audience me included don't want no more. Why should the writer dig deep into the problem? If Taran Adarsh wants to investigate into it, so he must write a review for a documentary on Indian-Australian relationship if someone shoots it. I want actors and entertainment. There's no need to find an explanation for every scene, because there must be place for your own thinking to flow. Australian guy Russell changed his mind to revenge Suhani, he heard her shout to the cell "Save Nicole, save the city". Moreover, he had a relationship with her sister and he knew who was responsible for her death, that's why both parties are to think over their actions. The behaviour of any character can be explained by preceding actions. The movie made me worry.

Crook was a complete below average box officer. Eventhough some people might say that it got slowed down since it had a competition with A Flat, but to my concerns A Flat was also a fail at the box office. Crook had more gross than A Flat eventhough it was still a disappointment. Status-Average

Neha Sharma looks really ‘hot and sweet’ in the movie. She does minimal acting in the movie, except pouting her lips, giving cute innocent-looking smiles, and wearing tiny clothes with loads of accessories. Well, we didn’t watch the movie to see her acting skills and she didn’t disappoint us at all with her looks; but sadly she looks destined to join the one-movie wonders like Geeta Basra, Sayali Bhagat and Sonal Chauhan!!! Emraan comes good once again and charms us with his cool effortless acting. His keeps his time-tested bad-boyish & ‘who gives a damn’ attitude in this movie as well; and does so quite convincingly. Bhatt camp has come up with some excellent music once again with atleast 3 chartbusters in this album. First one is the peppy track ‘kya’ by Neeraj Shridhar. Then there is the high-pitched and intense romantic vocals of KK in ‘tujhi mein’ . & last but not the least, there is the soft mushy romantic number ‘tujhko jo paaya’ by Mohit Chauhan. Also there is a nice Punjabi track ‘challa’ to add to the album. The movie also boasts of the super 10/10 hottie Shella Allan who plays a blond bombshell stripper in the movie; ‘n there are some real steamy scenes between her and Emraan too. Now, where does the movie go wrong? Although the 1st part of the movie has a breezy romance between the lead pair, the 2nd part is a copy of ‘I proud to be an Indian’. And to make matters worse, Arjan Bajwa- the chocolatish model boy, has been casted as the macho Indian who takes revenge on the Autralians. He doesn’t suit the bill at all. ‘The motu from sprite ad’ is his accomplice in the fight … its really puzzling how could the director cast him in something other than a comedy role. Beware, do not even try to look for a plot in the movie, as it could only leave you disappointed. Overall, I’d give Crook a 3-star rating for the hot babes, nice music and cool dude Emraan.

After watching the movie, I think it's a must watch for at once as it has strong message to say and it's a good attempt. All stars acted very best but I like Emraan very much. Awesame acting by Him.This movie should get minimum 3.5 stars at least.

"Racism" is a serious issue with extremely deep impacts on the global society in general and on sub-continent in particular. Attempting to make a movie on the topic is, in my humble opinion, not only a very difficult task, rather its a very heavy social responsibility to portray the issue in its truest form; figuring out the causes of the issue and suggesting remedies. It is indeed a huge responsibility to portray such a subject on celluloid. The credit must go to Vishesh Films and Mohit Suri for accepting the responsibility and trying to make a film on this very sensitive topic. But accepting such a huge responsibility asks for a thorough research; some logical cinematic adaptation and some convincing narrative. The film in question which is oddly titles as "Crook - its good to be bad" (I seriously fail to understand the relation of the title and the tagline with the subject and narrative over here). Unfortunately the film fail to carry the huge responsibility carried on its shoulders due to ingredients of the film working exactly opposite to how they should've worked. The film falters mainly due to the following reasons... o The issue of racism is a national, rather global issue. Presentation of this issue should've been on an equivalent scale. What starts off to be a serious global issue in the film, ends up being strictly a PERSONAL ISSUE of a person. So as a result, Arjan Bajwa's character turns out to be a villain out of any ordinary love story / revenge movie. Where the film should’ve been exploring the faults in the societies for the issue, it ends up blaming personal inclinations and stubbornness for the concern, which in real life has bothered and affected several hundreds of lives in the sub-continent. This in fact is a serious flaw in the movie; scale of narrative falls way below the scale of the theme. o The first hour of the film is the second biggest culprit. With only a few glimpses of the issue at hand, the film un-ambitiously keeps on wandering on the clichéd route of comedy and romance. By the time, the narrative starts taking the core issue seriously, almost a precious half of the run-time is wasted and the remaining time seems to less for the issue to justify the issue at hand. o In such a movie, the characters should've been solidly built and elaborated, but the screenplay keeps itself busy in the useless and unimpressive scenes of annoying friends, clichéd romance and un-required obscenity of strip club visits. As a result the film finds itself left only with one hour or so to simultaneously explain the behaviors of the characters and to explore the issue of racism. The end-product thus is although glossy, yet lacks the HARD_HITTING punch in context of the huge theme. o Unlike usual Bhat films, the music is plain ordinary and doesn't do much to enhance the impact of the movie. o The dialogues also lack the required seriousness and credibility The performances are mixed. Emran is decent, but i won't rank it among his finest. He has performed way much better in so many other movies. Maybe it is because the role and the script lack the meat. Neha Sharma looks cute and confident but her dialogue delivery needs loads of work to be done. The standout performance surely is of Arjan Bajwa, who impresses in a role which in itself is not impressive at all. The bunch of unasked-for actors playing the roles of Emran’s friends in Australia are annoying to say the least. Kavin Dave is an adorable performer but his role is one of the weakest links in the chain. The screenplay and direction leaves a lot to be desired. Mohit Suri has done some remarkable work in the past including masterpieces like "Kalyug" and "Woh Lamhe". But "Crook" can be termed as his weakest product yet. Overall, this is a huge opportunity lost. The movie misses the required glory with quite a huge margin. It is not "Hard-Hitting" enough. With the title totally mismatching the product, this Vishesh Film presentation "Is quite bad to be considered good"
