If you really wish to see Charles Sobhraj in action then just go ahead and watch Main Aur Charles. Randeep Hooda’s body structure and disposition has been so typical of the original Charles Sobhraj that he really looks as suave and real as could be.

With Kanth the police officer being portrayed by Adil Hussain, one could not get closer to reality in the flick. The manner in which the beauties are lured by Charles and then bounced off only shows the stuff the psychopath was made of. Mira Sharma was a reporter who also fell in the Charles snag and is ably portrayed by Richa Chaddha, who has perhaps given the best performance.

Well to sum it up one only has a vivid view of the ways and life of the kingpin of attraction to women through this movie and by the time it ends the Sobhraj finesse comes out as a big hero in fact. Today as he is cooped up in a jail in Kathmandu, we wonder what he would have to say about this reel life portrayal.

We give it a three stars out of five.
