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...

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.

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?

Humour in first half is more than 10 on 10, kareena (with Neha dhupia) and Sunil Shetty bring down the movie with their sub par performance. If it would have just been a comedy movie would definitely would have gotten higher rating.. Across 10-15 years always used to miss the start and end of this movie despite repeated watch on TV. Finally saw it in 2021 in one sitting.

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