Directed by Ajay Singh, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga features Yami as a flight attendant Neha who makes a plan with her boyfriend Ankit (Sunny Kaushal) to steal some diamonds mid-flight. The problem is the plane gets hijacked before they can do so and they have to figure out a plan B. The heist thriller clocked in 29,000,000 hours of viewership in the first two weeks of its release, beating out other Indian films RRR (25,540,000) and Gangubai Kathiawadi (22,130,000).

The Hindustan Times review of Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga stated, “Glad to see the female actor’s part written quite well and fleshed out in a script that mostly has male characters. [Yami] Gautam truly nails her part and shines in every frame she appears in. With a lot of layers and shades to her character, she’s confident and carries a swag which is hard to miss. In vulnerable scenes, her emotions look real and controlled, while in parts where she puts on her full-on sassy avatar, she goes all out and looks equally convincing.”

Besides Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga, Lost starring Yami as a journalist was also released online this year. She will be seen in the sequel OMG 2 alongside Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi later this year.
