Chup Chup Ke

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?

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

This movie was really entertaining. I watched this movie uncountless time. Really love it very much.

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.

I have seen plenty of the Indian movies, almost all of them are about young men and women trying to get married. This one is a little similar, however, this film is so very funny. I had to rewind some scenes just to laugh again. I have never seen a film that made me to laugh so hard.

Best of all, those funny scenes don't seem to be contrived. they are so natural. The actors are so good at it. Rajpal Yadav was the best. Indian movies tend to be more than two hours long with an interval. Most of the films lost its momentum in the first part. I very much enjoyed this film, I actually didn't mind that this film was so long, because they keep showing funny scenes one after another.

If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely watch it. It will make you laugh so hard. Too bad, the storyline is mostly fit with the Indian society. Otherwise, I totally hope that Hollywood can make one based on this.

Shahid Kapur, he can really dance. there was one close up scene showing his teeth, he needs to see a dentist to fix his teeth. I suggest that he should use electrical toothbrush.
