Total Siyapaa

Despite the giddy pace, it soon becomes clear that there's not enough of a story here, merely a string of gags. The thin plot is stretched out until it collapses under the weight of its contrivances, squandering a good cast, particularly Kirron Kher as the shrill Mummyji. Such a shame that the film's central conflict evaporates conveniently and unconvincingly in a hurried, all-too-neat finale. Funny, but in a pedestrian sort of way. While the promos of the film prepare you for a laugh-riot, what unfurls on screen doesn't keep you in splits through and through. Initially, yes, the humor works, especially when Ali meets his prospective mother-in-law Kirron Kher, but thereafter, a few sporadic instances apart, several episodes fall flat. On the whole, TOTAL SIYAPAA appeals in bits and spurts. You expect a laugh-riot, but what comes across on screen is half-baked.

One sentence to wrap up the whole film is " A genuine forceful effort to make people laugh (Only possible on Gun Point)". Ali Zafar's 4th Movie (2nd disaster in sequence) is out and finally the fans are disappointed again. The whole plot from start till the end was beyond apprehension. One feels tortured and painful while watching this so called comedy flick. The idea to shoot the movie in one night, one dress and one go is poorly conceived, weakly written, immaturely directed and childishly portrayed. The characters appear in a haphazard manner. The cast was quite limited. The scope remained narrow, dialogs highly unimpressive and acting substandard. The father of the heroine (Yami) is missing, brother fighting with Pakistani neighbor (without any good reason), sister is acting weird (crushing on Ali and at the same loving her husband and the mother is making a joke of her husband while he is missing. Ali Zafar should quit movies immediately and concentrate on his music. Acting is probably out of his league. Yami Gupta was not seen as fresh as she was (I mean it is an achievement to shoot the complete movie in only one dress without any definite reason). Kirron Kher was OK but Anupam Kher was not seen at all in the movie (invisible character) The idea of India Pakistan tussle among a love couple surely would have achieved a great success and a nice movie if conceived and directed with some sense. Such ventures only add frustration to the audience and adds another disappointment to the flop charts numbers in the Bollywood. I do not recommend this movie to watch even when you don't have anything to watch. A failure with two thumbs down !!!

Total Siyapaa- 2014 Director: Eeshwar Nivas

Total Siyapaa' is funny, but only in bits! It has some hilarious moments, but they are limited only till its first-hour. The songs were good and there was a good amount of humor. There is not a single reason to appreciate this movie, the script was idiotic, didn't expect that, since Neeraj Pandey was associated with this movie. The film has no story at all, some Scattered events sewed together, which were supposed to make sense, but they seldom do.

To be honesty I'm a huge fan of Ali Zafar but I was astonished to see the movie that what on Earth made him do this film. No proper plot and story, poor direction. Not recommended.

the only thing that kept me awake was cute actress . The plot is little for the hours devoted in showcasing it . some scenes are awkward to watch with family. Yami gautam looks wonderful in all scenes . Characters behave exaggeratedly . no laughing moment other than those shown in its advertisement . nothing seems logical . emotions do not explain the outcome . Some TV serials are far more interesting than this , at least they end sooner. the turn of events is unexplained . Movie is low budget as things happen inside closed spaces .Some scenes are interesting but their presentation does not bring out the inner sarcasm .

'Total Siyapaa' is funny, but only in bits! It has some hilarious moments, but they are limited only till its first-hour. A weak second-hour plays a spoilsport.

'Total Siyapaa' Synopsis: Settled in London, Aman hopes to marry Asha, an Indian woman also based in London. He visits her parents' house to seek their permission to marry her. However, his plans to impress the family start failing when they discover that he is a Pakistani.

'Total Siyapaa' begins superbly & the first-hour has some genuinely hilarious moments. The Hindu-Pakistani conflict works hugely. However, things go down in its second-hour. The pace drops & even the humor is clearly missing in this hour. In short, a winning first-hour gets effected due a to weak second.

Neeraj Pandey's Screenplay gets it right in the first-hour, but lacks merits in the second-hour. E. Nivas's Direction is fair. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are decent.

Performance-Wise: Ali Zafar is likable. He enacts the caught-up protagonist nicely. Yami Gautam is charming. Kiron Kher is simply awesome. She emerges the real scene-stealer here! Sara Khan is credible. Anupam Kher is wasted.

On the whole, 'Total Siyapaa' works, but only in till a point.
