The first thing you look for in an Emraan Hashmi film is the sex appeal. Add to it a Mahesh Bhatt production and you know the storyline will be intense, probably highlighting a social cause and there will be a new chic again probably a shy soft- spoken damsel. Yup, all these things are present in Mohit Suri’s latest flick- Crook! A story about the race war in Australia and our sexy Emraan (Suraj/ Jai) caught in the middle of it.
Debutant Neha Sharma (Suhani) is a chic funky looking gal sporting denim hot pants on the beautiful white sandy beaches of Melbourne along with her stylish shrugs and H&M style multicoloured bangles. Also to watch out for is the hunky muscled up Arjan Bajwa who plays the angry brother. I expected much more from him and he kinda lingers on the shades of grey.

Lack of strong characterization the film lags through the first half and like the usual Mahesh films the last half hour is a mix up of various intense plots leading to an equally intense climax.
The Punjabi migrant dudes are styled appropriately with their fake jerseys and brightly matched jackets with jogging pants and jeans. An interestingly funky attribute is their spiky haircuts and cool Desi Indian semi branded jackets which bring a hip-hoppish look to the gang. Another striking element is the firang chic who plays a stripper with whom Emraan shares the sizzling kiss (as much awaited and repeated). Toned and striking, she also adds that oomph factor to the style sequence with her funky halters and poker straight hair. Music is just about ok with the ‘ Dane dann’ Punjabi track only lingering in memory. Interesting watch on the whole, not too bad!
