When London-based Sam Higgins goes missing in the Ladakh region of India, his friend, Dev Anand, travels there in order to locate him. He finds this region to be quite different from the rest of India, as a matter of fact, Indians are regarded with suspicion and distrust, while the majority of the population appears to be Spanish, Italians, and other foreign nationals. The region does have a Police Station, but they are of no help to Dev, on the contrary they suspect him of being a smuggler of illicit drugs and ammunition. Dev’s inquiries lead to conclude that he must meet a mysterious man named “Policeman” who has taken over the region and is feared by everyone. He also finds out that this region is well-known for attracting foreigners as opium is grown in vast quantities.

Charas Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.3 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 316.

In my review of ROG, I had mentioned that I have pledged myself to try and watch every movie Irfan Khan acts in. Charas falls within that line of study, and I am again kept far away from disappointment.

Charas, “A work of fiction based on real facts”, tells the story of a Heron plantation “somewhere in the hills of India” that produces the best Heroin in the world, the man who runs it and the involvements of other power-players with it – from international Mafia, to cops, to politicians. In midst of all this, a British desi cop is trying to find a lost Englishman with the help of a street-guide from Delhi.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 1.5 star out of 5 Star.
