Plot

This film starts with an ex-MLA shot dead by three unknown men likely belonging to a dangerous gangster group in Delhi. His death shocked the entire nation, and due to media's pressure, police are desperate to arrest the gunmen and close the case.

However, all police officers in the police station are corrupted and have connections with gangster groups. Being ordered to close the case within 24 hours, police chief Ramlal decides to find three scapegoats to blame for the MLA's shooting, and shoot them to make it like an encounter, leaving them no chance to clarify themselves. Ramlal and his men choose three detained criminal for minor crimes in the police station: Daler Singh, a kind hearted and brave man who was arrested for street fighting with some goons teasing with a woman, Bunty, who was arrested for theft, and Munna Supari, a junior member of Usmaan's gang, who was arrested for harassing police when drunk.

Police drive the three chosen scapegoats in a midnight to a remote forest, preparing to shoot them there. However, before shooting, Ramlal's gun gets stuck, and he then accidentally shoots someone in a distance. To everyone's shock, the shot one is Usmaan, a famous don who has long bribed and been sheltered by him. The three scapegoats escapes during the chaos.

Feared being revenged by Usmaan's brother Mannul, Ramlal tells him that the three shot Usmaan. Mannul orders his men and police to find the three "murderers", alive or dead. The three are now on the run from both cops and Mannul's men.

They visit Kajri's place for shelter, a club dancer who is Munna's friend and who also happens to be the girl Daler was always in love with. After learning their story, Kajri decides to help them. She drives them to the train station and asks them to catch the earliest train to Mumbai and never come back to Delhi. However, Kajri's boss Tata Singh betrayed them after knowing the three are wanted by Mannul with Rs 7.5 million. Tata tells Mannul the three's whereabouts.

When waiting for the train, Bunty accidentally finds there's a sim-card and a micro camera in a necklace he stole from Usmaan's man in the police station. Curious about why the sim-card, he installs it in his own phone. As soon as he installs it, Intelligence Bureau is informed that the sim-card is activated. It is revealed that the IB officers planted the sim-card and the camera in the necklace to locate Usmaan's men and collect evidence against them.

Mannul and Ramlal's men arrive at the train station before the three board the train, and chase them. But before they get them, IB agents, who have superior power than Ramlal's police station, arrive and arrest the three. In the IB, they submitted the camera containing evidence against Usmaan, Mannul, and Ramlal's connection with them, making them all arrested. The three are therefore released for their finding.

Critical reception

The Times of India gave the film 2 stars and wrote "While the motive and twists in the story are interesting, the comic execution ruins it and the film would have still worked had it been a black comedy."

Bollywood Hungama gave 1.5 stars writing "The film has an interesting premise, but the director doesn't have the grip on the plot and it shows in the film." The performance of Deepak Dobriyal was particularly praised.

Faheem Ruhani from India Today gave 1.5 stars and wrote "Chal Bhaag's got a poorly written screenplay, amateur production design, shoddy performances, listless dialogues and useless item songs which play out as and when the director fancies."

Rahul Desai from Mumbai Mirror criticised the film heavily and gave 1.5 stars. He wrote that the film was awfully-executed and the makers got the basics and technicalities all wrong.

The film got appreciation only from IndiaGlitz, achieving a rating of 3 stars. Vishal Verma praised the director and most of the actors. However, he opined that the director should have come to the point earlier, without taking much time to establish the characters.
