On the whole, Paanch Minar is a crime comedy that works in a few moments, supported mainly by the performances and scattered humour. The film lacks a strong story and better utilisation of its cast, which limits its overall impact. Raj Tarun’s comedy works, and Sudarshan, Brahmaji, and Ajay Ghosh provide occasional laughs. If you are looking for light entertainment with minimal expectations, the film works to an extent, but expecting sharp twists or inventive writing will leave you disappointed.Read at source

Paanch Minar
Paanch Minar
Krishan Chaitanya “Kittu” is a young man who has studied software engineering but is unable to find a job in his field. Under pressure from his family and his girlfriend's father—who insists that Kittu secure stable employment before approving their marriage—he takes up work as a cab driver. To avoid embarrassment, Kittu lies to everyone, claiming he works as a software engineer. At his company, deaf drivers are paid more, so he pretends to be deaf while on duty to earn extra income. Kittu drives a taxi purchased from Chotu's garage, which serves as a front for his family's illegal operations. One day, the family discovers that their accountant has stolen a large sum of money. They kill him before he can reveal where he hid it. Chotu later learns that his uncle Murthy was also involved in the theft. Because of their close relationship, Chotu does not confront him publicly but instead demands that he return the money. Although Murthy does not know where the accountant hid it, he agrees and secretly hires two contract killers to murder Chotu. The two killers arrive in the city and hire Kittu's taxi to take them to Chotu's location. Kittu witnesses the murder but pretends not to have seen anything in order to protect himself. During the return journey, the killers—unaware that Kittu can hear—discuss their plan to retrieve the hidden money and then kill Kittu. Unable to react without revealing his deception, Kittu is forced to continue the ride while looking for a way to escape.
