Chupke Chupke

Chupke Chupke is masterpiece by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, I love his style of story telling be it Bawarchi, Rang Birangi, Naram Garam, Golmaal, Khubsoorat, Buddha Mil Gaya, all of which are great movies. All his stories have very simple storyline, powerful cast, lots of human emotion and patriotism towards Indian culture and languages.

Dharmendra is truly amazing, and so is Amitabh Bachchan and rest of the cast supports them well. Since most of the dialogs are in pure Hindi, some people may find it difficult to follow. Hrishikesh Mukherjee through his movies and characters always pointed to some aspect or the other of the lives of Indian people, and hence all his characters always feel very real and get deep inside your skin and you become a part of the act.

The practical joke played by a Botany professor on his brother-in-law is the focus of the movie, as pointed out by other commenter. Chupke Chupke is a film in which the dialogs combine with the situations to collectively impart the comic momentum to the movie which persist till the very last minute, very very entertaining film, highly recommended for the entire family. If you liked this movie, then do give the movies mentioned at the beginning a shot, you would thank me later. :) also highly recommended.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee known for his simple and yet excellent movies gives us a comedy which is so delightful, it is remembered even today

The film has several hilarious moments, especially between Dharmendra-Om Prakash and will make you die laughing especially their Hindi vs English scenes

The film has all ingredients well balanced, comedy, romance and it makes for an entertaining film something we miss from today's comedies especially Rohit Shetty type of rubbish comedies

The first half has several hilarious moments which make you die laughing while even the second half have several hilarious moments and you'll keep waiting for more

Direction by Hrishikesh Mukherjee is classic Music by S.D.Burman is superb, Sare Gamapa sung by Kishore/Rafi is superb while Ab ke Sawan is superb and rest are superb

Dharmendra shows his range as a comedian and does a brilliant job, often known for his action roles, Dharmendra was superb in 70s in all genres sadly post 80's his comedy became terrible But here he excels Amitabh in a supporting role excels in his comic part perhaps his first comic role,his expressions and dialogue delivery are flawless Both appeared together in SHOLAY and their chemistry is fabulous Surprisingly both diverse films in the same year Amitabh and Hrishikesh made several classic films like ANAND(1971), ABHIMAAN(1973), MILI(1975), ALAAP and BEMISAAL(1982) Sharmila is a natural and does a brilliant job Jaya Bachchan too leaves a mark in a smaller role Om Prakash is hilarious in his role, his role is the important part in the film and he excels in his part Amongst rest Asrani in a small role does well and rest are okay

Best comedy movie of 80s era which will give you extreme laughter rolls 😁

A newly married professor implements an amusing plan for getting introduced with the family of his elder brother-in-law under false pretense. It is approved by his wife and actively supported by a few friends. The couple doubly enjoys the secrecy. They continue the whole plan of joking tricks until it becomes enough. Otherwise, they enjoy the desperate love relation in a climate of adventurous hiding.

A prolonged play of secret humor--the broad connotative meaning of the title-- does not lose its relish due to the compact screenplay, the excellent performances of the casts, proper editing, wonderful music by Sachin Deb Barman and a few other supportive constituents of the film. Though the social composition of the characters, the social nature of turns and twists of the sequences focus on the educated urban Indian middle class, the lucid narrative seems to communicate a stable flow of comedian pleasure to all viewers. The final revelation of the true identities among the characters is accelerated because of the maturity of a new love relation. The narrative seems to challenge softly some insensible social norms. It also expresses its deep conviction about love and honesty of individuals and obviously its trust on the creative capacity of intelligent and humorous individual.

Any regular Indian film lover would enjoy the nice acting of at least four film stars--Dharmendra, Sharmila Tagore, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri-- in simple social images and appreciate director Hrishikesh Mukherjee for another successful experiment. The film makes the spectator reminiscent of the genre, which rarely used the very close and the very long shots and rapid cuts. In spite of a theatrical design of the screenplay it could provide the actors and the actresses with the greater scope of establishing their performing talents. The use of bright light and sustained delight of the romantic characters in the family drama--initiated by an unconventionally sensitive, urban, academic personality--makes the film a bright entertainment.

I have watched this movie so many times that i may have lost count. This is definitely one of the best comedies to come out of Indian Cinema.

The movie scores at almost every level, Direction..Hrishi Da at his best, he has used the same trick (a character pretending to play someone else) in many movies but this time he took everything to another level, the way he handled the complex story in such a simple way, its commendable, you never feel bored,Kudos to the Great Screenplay....Music, Chupke Chupke has one of my fav song..."Ab Ke Sanam Sawan Main", watch out for the naughty looks given by Sharmila Ji in this song and obviously Lata ji adds Gem to this composition..Also the "Chupke Chupke" song is wonderful. Lets come to the Acting Department...This was one of the first movies, where Dharmendra plays a comic role, one of the best in his acting career, with right amount of everything without overdoing anything or adding unnecessary gimmicks. He has always given his best with Hrishi Da(movies like Satyakaam, Anupama). Sharmila Tagore played her part really well, looks pretty and mischievous. Om Prakash is amazing, note some of his expressions even in some small scenes, thats how an actor registers screen presence. Amitabh and Jaya ji have smaller but memorable roles.

Overall a great movie, a lesson to some new age Directors that how a simple movie can be so entertaining.
