Hulchul

An adaptation of the 1991 Malayalam film Godfather, Priyadarshan's 'Hulchul' is a thoroughly entertaining film, that also packs in several terrific performances from it's mammoth cast. It's loud, yet a joyride!

'Hulchul' Synopsis: A man and woman from feuding families each pretend to fall in love, as part of a revenge plot. Chaos ensues when their fake romance becomes a reality.

Neeraj Vora's Screenplay, which focuses on two rival families, is throughly enjoyable, what if it is high pitch. And the dialogue, are superb. The first-hour is absolutely hilarious, while the Second-Hour gets serious & slightly intense. Priyadarshan's Direction is good. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are passable. Music by Vidyasagar, is decent.

Performance-Wise: Akshaye Khanna is fabulous, as always. Kareena is highly energetic. Paresh Rawal & Arshad Warsi are hilarious! Jackie Shroff is excellent, as ever. Suniel Shetty is extremely likable in a strong supporting role. Arbaaz Khan is adequate. Amrish Puri is great. Laxmi plays the vamp, most convincingly. Manoj Joshi & Shakti Kapoor are terrific. Asrani, Farah Naaz, Akhilendra Mishra & Deep Dhillon lend good support.

On the whole, 'Hulchul' is high-voltage entertainment.

The movie is hilarious and so well made. Priyadarshan is master in making a family comedy like this one. Akshaye Khanna and Kareena kapoor looks good together but its not about them in the movie. The real strong point of the movie in my view are three main characters, Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal and Arshad Warsi. All of them have given a great performance.

From scene one, till last, this movie is a laugh riot. The movie is an adaptation of the 1991 hit Malayalam movie Godfather, then also Priydarshan has crafted a real gem here. All the characters are so written. Be it Arshad, Akshaye, Paresh or Sunil Shetty, Jackie Shroff and Arbaaz Khan. A special mention for the ever awesome Amrish Puri, as I suppose this was his last movie as an actor. He is amazing and so nautral in every scene.

Supporting cast have done a great job. Music is good and some of the songs are really well made. Overall a good family entertainer.

Priyadarshan's Hulchul is a great entertainer. Like his earlier film Hungama, this one will also have you in splits. There are a lot of great actors in the film. Starting with Akshay Khanna, Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Amrish Puri, Arshad Warsi and many more.

Arshad Warsi is hilarious, he picks up where he left off in Munna Bhai MBBS. His character is well etched and has you laughing every time he's on the screen. Paresh Rawal is great as usual.

Akshaye Kumar and Kareena Kapoor have great on screen chemistry its clearly visible in the song "Rafta Rafta". They fit their roles like a glove. Jackie Shroff and Suniel Shetty are good as usual.

Sadly, this is one of Amrish Puri's last performances, but he does a great job. He will be sorely missed and remembered forever!

Hulchul is a one-time watch movie. The film though entertaining, has comedy scenes in parts. Arshad Warsi steals the comedy part. Hence, the rest of the cast work well in the given material. Kareena looks beautiful and Akshay Khanna did a decent good job. There are too many talented actors in the film, hence not all get enough chance to deliver the same. Like any Priyadarshan movie, the climax is overdramatic but is bearable. This movie may not make you laugh holding your stomach but is a decent watch, if you haven't.

The storyline of this movie is just amazing acting is also very good.
