Chup

A brutally honest and spine-chilling psychological thriller from R Balki that flaunts a brilliant lead act from Dulquer Salmaan alongside a subtle and memorable cop-act by Sunny Deol !

The narrative by Balki moves in a lethargic pace but has its own beauty and the tight screenplay ensures that the audience is glued to the screens right from the word go!

The interval block and the climax sequences were top- notch and made memorable by haunting music and performances

The references to yesteryear classic 'Kagaz Ke Phool' by maestro Guru Dutt was intertwined cleverly with the narrative and deserves a special mention.

Overall,Chup is an authentic Balki craft that deserves a watch from the cinemas for its novel narrative,stellar performances and beautiful musical score.

I don't want to give spoilers but yes every scene in the movie is designed in class and one can be thrilled by seeing the way they have portrayed the murder and every detail has won the heart. The background score is the main protagonist I must say. This film will keep you intact till end.

Such "Story and Screenplay" is something which was missing for a very long time. Witnessing this superb masterpiece through public review was an extraordinary experience in itself. The whole cast and their roles are so magnificently written ..every killer has a story but this story is something which touched my heart! A Must-Watch Film.

An absolute masterpiece from R. Balki yet again! Must Watch!!! One of the best suspense thrillers with an intriguing plot & breathtaking screenplay. Beautiful background scores keep one thrilled in their seat right till the end. Massive tribute to Guru Dutt Ji. Standout performance by fan-favorite superstar Dulquer Salmaan - He is like art, one can never take the eye away from. Halfway through this review, my hands are already shivering while thinking of the after-effects of it, yet I am taking the risk because this film is worth its appreciation. Cinema lovers are truly going to enjoy this one. #CriticsKoChup Bollywood is back. Thank you Balki Sir!

Biases first I love guru dutt to the core, Amitabh Bachchan and Sunny Deol.

An extra Mark for the love of craft of Guru Dutt. In the opening credits when his name was mentioned I knew I would be judging this one harshly.

I love saga of sorts with good thriller quotient and love for cinema. The S. D. Burman and O P Nayyar music reminiscence was a welcome pleasure.

The movie has a good message about the harshnesss of some professions like movie criticism how important and unimportant they are and if compromised how they can ruin the pleasure of an audience.

Although I am fond of the work of Mr Sunny Deol and have been looking for his work since Ghayal returns, I feel he was underplayed and underutilized. His character is called Aravind and the Tamil actor who starred in Roza would have been a perfect choice for this role.

Halfway through the movie I felt it was too R Balki like similar to Shamitabh and only later I discovered it was his directorial.

The movie is great and has all the elements you want from a guru dutt tribute from music to lights to story. The presence of stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Pooja Bhatt only add to the brilliance.

Dulqueer Salman is finally finding footing in Hindi cinema and hope we see more of him.

Disappointed with Sunny Paaji being toned down. He is too big an actor to waste in such mediocrity. Hope his next release Baap alongside Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt and Mithun Chakraborty do justice to his onscreen persona.

Well directed, well written and masterfully shot. The build up had me glued to my seat, every frame was just a delight to watch. References to Guru Dutt's Kagaz Ke Phool were tastefully done and all in all the serial killer and his various activities were depicted with a finesse that would make one's skin crawl. The cast gave excellent performances and the hauntingly beautiful music was just the accentuation that the film needed to top it all off. All in all, an extremely enjoyable and goosebump-inducing film by R. Balki. Worth a watching in your nearest movie theater for sure. Chup = chills..
