Chup Chup Ke

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

This movie is not like other Priyadarshan comedy all time hits. It is a time pass movie.

Comedy scenes are good but the movie overall is like a drama which drags and feels boring. Shahid Kapoor seems like not suitable for this type of role.

The only thing which will keep you watching is Rajpal Yadav and Paresh Rawal. These two are gems of bollywood comedy movies.

Only for them it's a 1 time watch !

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.

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?

Being a Priyadarshan movie, everybody must have expected a comedy caper. Even i thought it was a comedy movie until the end when there was no 'hungama' with all the actors running around. Priya's trademark style.

The film was okish. The story was decent. But for a Drama subject, i don't see why there were so many unwanted characters. It makes one confused at some point in the movie.

The performance were okish by everyone except Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav who were outstanding as always. Shahid Kapoor has a long way before being called a good actor. Kareena Kapoor had a surprisingly small role which she surprisingly performed well enough and she looked very cute and......reddish. Neha Dupia was good too.

Catch this on a DVD and watch it with family. Its a clean movie.
