Chup Chup Ke

Yup, this movie is and will be remembered for Rajpal Yadav.

I could not stop laughing in the first half of this revisit.

Paresh Rawal, Shakti Kapoor & Late Shree Om Puri as usual did great job.

The movie has a decent plot with enough elements of chaos, but sadly the love story of Shahid & Kareena feels a stretch and unnecessary.

And Sunil Shetty's character has got anger issues...

This is a really nice film to watch with your friends and family, i mean when i first saw this movie i really liked it and i would watch it again.

Shahid Kapoor is a great actor, he should do films with Akshay or maybe Salman Khan, he is very talented and was very funny in this film, and not to mention he is the next best danced to Hrithik Roshan. Kareena Kapoor was very good in the film, even though i am not a big fan of hers she is very talented and can go far in her career, that is if she picks the right roles. I also liked Anumpam Kher and Shakti Kapoor too also, they were very funny in the film.

The music is very good in the movie, my personal faves were "Dil Vich" and "Hare Hare"i really recommend it to everyone.

The risk of making comedy is sometimes the director chases his tail and goes overboard. So how does Chup Chup Ke fare then?

Shahid - One word "mediocore".

Kareena - Having missed role of a life-time in Black, I expected her to fight back with stunning performance as a mute girl. "Expectations reduces joy", ah! - I am a wise man now.

BTW - the love track between the two appears force-fit. Is it missing on-screen chemistry?

Sunil Shetty - Makes entry just a couple of seconds before interval and is his usual self.

Neha Dhupia - Wonder how Priyadarshan convinced this glam doll to play second fiddle? Bait: Gets to sing the songs (since Kareena is mute). Nevertheless, meatier and better performance than Kareena.

Paresh Rawal seems undisputed king of comedy and his chemistry with Rajpal Yadav is great. Off-late the latter is being accused of substituting Johnny Lever. With Chup Chup Ke, Rajpal Yadav should silence his critics (how long? my guess is as good as yours!). Other Priyan regulars don't leave any lasting impression which include Om Puri and Asrani. Shakti Kapoor's love-track gets axed on the editing table. Anupam Kher, as usual does his part well as a principled father.

A couple of songs in the movie are good - thanks to the latest craze, Himesh Reshammiya. The downside - a la Hum Aapke Hain Koun!! The promo song "Shab-E-Firaq" should have been incorporated in the end titles.

Off-late the critics are have invented positive statements like "leave your mind at home and enjoy the comedy" which actually means "mindless comedy". Chup Chup Ke luckily escapes this category and scores above Phir Hera Pheri.

The comedy track is in right proportion and blends seamlessly with the backbone of the story.

Finally what was Sushma Reddy thinking when she signed the dotted line?

A light family entertainer which contains many good laughs. The real star of Chup Chup Ke is Rajpal Yadav. He makes one choke with laughter. Surprisingly full mileage is not taken out of the roles of Paresh Rawal and Om Puri. Kareena looks stunning , ravishing and lot of ...ings and her chemistry with Shahid works for the movie. Now a few bad points. Shahid carries his role single dimensionally. Chup Chup Ke is a movie in which many people are surplus to the requirement. Neha Dhupia is wasted and so are Anupam Kher, Sushma Reddy, Om Puri and Paresh Rawal. Asrani and Shakti Kapoor are just a shadows of their former selves. Sunil Shetty looks tired and type casted. But the biggest let down is casting of Om Puri as a Gujju. Sushma Reddy looks unpalatable sans make up.

This Flim shows us comedy and manything. I really enjoyed a lot.
