Ghanchakkar (English: Crazy) is a 2013 Indian suspense comedy caper film directed by Rajkumar Gupta and produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur from UTV Motion Pictures. The film stars Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan in the lead roles. The theatrical trailer debuted on 28 March 2013, along with Himmatwala. The film received mixed reviews from critics.

Sanjay Athray aka 'Sanju' (Emraan Hashmi) is a master safe cracker who maintains a casual lifestyle with his wife Neetu (Vidya Balan). He meets two criminals, Pandit and Idris and they offer him a chance to assist a bank robbery. If the heist is successful, they will ensure that he never has to worry about money again, so he accepts the offer. The three thieves make off with 35 crore rupees. After the bank robbery, Pandit tells them that they'll meet after three months and then they'll spilt the money, so Pandit and Idris let Sanjay hid the money. After 3 months, Pandit and Idris discovers that Sanjay lost his memory. Pandit and Idris decide that they will stay at Sanjay and Neetu's house until Sanjay remembers where he hid the money and to make sure they're not cheated and they give Sanjay for one week time. Sanjay tries to remember where he hid the money.

When Sanjay learns that his college friend Uttam Nagpal (Parvin Dabas) has become an overnight millionaire, apparently by winning a lottery, he suspects Neetu of knowing the hiding place of the money and of conspiring with his friend. Uttam moves to London after being confronted about the money. Sanjay finds out that Neetu has purchased a one-way ticket for London.

An unknown person contacts Sanjay and urges him to divulge the location of the money. Under pressure, Pandit and Idris kidnap Neetu and ask Sanjay to meet them in a train station, on the third platform at 1am. When both Pandit and Idris confront Sanjay and demand the money, Sanjay claims that he doesn't even recognise the two.
