Chori Chori Chupke Chupke

After a love triangle story in Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega these 3 stars were again chosen in this controversial flick. The film would have been considered as hit if there was not a controversy with the production values from Bharat Shah. Here director duo Abbas-Mustan did a very different and unique job as compared with their previous and after directorial ventures. They are considered as thriller makers of Bollywood. But in this CCCC they proved that they can equally handle to make a romantic family drama. Hardly there is a single action scene when Preity was being raped by Salman's colleague in her apartment, Salman slapped him.

The movie has almost all the standards and ingredients like song, story, casting, performances etc. which are required to make a movie hit. But of course for Salman's fan this was something a surprise gift from him. Why? Because for so long he has been doing roles where he has a scene to show his open body and dance la-la-la all around. His role as a rich young businessman who has no-nonsense nature and of normal attitude is really impressive. After all Madhubala, a prostitute role performed by Preity is amazing. Later when she too turns out thoughtful about her life she deserve proper attention. Her facial expressions and body language become more attractive, and focus mainly goes to her. Her previous role as a pregnant woman in Kya Kehna was not that heart-touching as it is here. Of course, this can be termed as improvement. Then Priya, a very innocent and helpless wife of Raj who only depends on him for a better result. She has nothing powerful influence in the story as the main ingredients are in the hands of Preity.

Finally, the main point of the story which is something rare and unique in itself. In real world of this age it is not totally impossible to happen such step of searching for a surrogate mother. Perhaps, many are happening in this large world where these are kept secret. And in this way the scriptwriter of CCCC has uncovered a hidden truth which is taking place in others daily lives. But still then it is a doubt.

Chori Chori Chupke Chupke is about a newly married couple, Raj and Priya (Salman Khan and Rani Mukherjee). Priya cannot conceive after an accident which made her miscarry a previous pregnancy, and they finally decide to use a surrogate mother, who will carry their child. They pick Madhubala, a vulgar prostitute (Preity Zinta). This element in the film is obviously not very realistic. I mean, isn't it easier to adopt? And even if they pick a girl, does it mean the man has to sleep with her? I guess the writers have not heard of artificial insemination, but I guess if they had, the film wouldn't have been made, so anyway let's get on. So yes, they hire the services of this young, crude woman, who knows nothing about anything but has good intentions and a kind heart deep within. She agrees to help them, but what about her? Will she ever realise what she's doing?

The film is generally a nice watch. Despite its flaws, it has an engaging story, many familiar faces, and great songs. The big family thing is evidently a take-off on Hum Aapke Hain Koun, which is not a bad thing, since audiences must love this concept. That the film relies on a host of character actors and not a single villain is quite nice; actors who are often made to play the bad guys, find themselves here as nice uncles or grandpas; in particular Amrish Puri shines in his wholesome, kind grandpa avatar. The cinematography is quite bad, and so is the lack of originality in the script. Particularly annoying is the chain of sequences lifted straight off Pretty Woman. Why? Does it hurt to attempt some originality, Abbas? Mustan? Anyone? Those watching will likely find these portions quite distracting especially because of how poor they are, compared to the original.

Similarly, the lead pair struggle with poorly written parts, although their chemistry isn't very bad. Khan plays his part pretty well. It's nice to see him take a serious character for once, although he tends to underplay it a tad too much. Moreover, the cheap dialogues about his great love for his wife and how hard he finds it to sleep with another woman were quite cheesy and redundant. Mukherjee, who is pretty and radiant, is just about okay acting-wise; this isn't entirely her fault because the part is really just another derivative manifestation of numerous previous prototypical female roles of the sort, serving age-old ideas and lacking depth and complexity. Still, she is generally effective and tries her best to somehow enhance an otherwise stereotypical part of the traditional, ever-giving wife. Eventually, both take a back seat to make room for the entrance of Preity Zinta.

And indeed, the film belongs to Preity Zinta, who steals the show with what gradually emerges as THE performance of the film. Even within a less credible film, and despite some faulty instances early on where she is made to scream a little too much, she manages to make the transformation from the loud prostitute to a sensitive woman most naturally, presenting a convincing and touching portrait of awakening and self-discovery. Due credit goes to Zinta, who is totally unaffected and free of pretense. She appears to live the role and makes you wish for her character's best interest, partly because of how the role is etched out, but mainly because of Zinta's magnetic and positive personality. This performance is easily the main reason to watch the film, and by the end, her Madhubala is the one you end up feeling the most for, more than you could initially imagine.

The film's poignant ending only highlights Zinta's position as the star of the show, and the directors probably realised right through the process that focus should be placed entirely on her character. It is therefore not very surprising that she gets to be the one on whom the film's beautiful title track is pictured. This number, where she is clearly positioned as the leading lady rather than a supporting character, is handled very well. It is also interesting that, except for one brief moment, we don't get to know much of her story and how she had wound up doing what she did. This was actually a very refreshing and welcome change that isn't usually employed by filmmakers in mainstream Hindi films. Madhubala is never a victim, and that is a half-achievement for this film. Watch Chori Chori Chupke Chupke for Preity Zinta. My high rating is easily for her sincere and moving performance.

I love this movie very much i watched it over and over. I don't see why anyone would think this movie wasn't good. Maybe you have seen better or whatever it is i personally love it. It is one of my favorite movies and I am not Hindi at all but i do love it. It might be a little like "Pretty Woman" but i haven't seen that and I don't think it's any better than this. I don't know why you are all trashing about it but maybe you have a good reason but I think i have said it enough but i absolutely love this movie, and to those who say it's not good at all well then I wonder why you watched it and what movies you consider good. As for everyone else that i watched it with they enjoyed it too so it surprises me that this many people don't like it. As for Rani Mukherjee ( i think thats how you spell her last name) she is very beautiful and my favorite actress ever!

The movie has every thing that a hindi movie has; a tearjerking story, a utopian joint family, a beyond-dreams-rich business family where no body seems to work, and a lady that could not bear children. There is angle of surrogate mother which is new for bollywood. Every one is exceedingly nice, and every one is trying to please everyone else. The story, however, fails to convince the need for a surrogate mother when adoption can be a better, nicer, and far less complicating option. This movie has a infamous side as well. the producer Bharat Shah is supposed to be neck deep in money-laundry for Mumbai Mafia and he is still incarcerated ( or at least I hope he still is!!)
