      nonsense

      I wonder if there is any sense of sense in this movie. Its a big joke. Good.. Its entertaining .. You get to see the most stupid plot played very seriously in the form of a film .. I wonder which audience group this movie is basically targeted to.

      Priety (a pros) plays a surrogate mom for a happy couple Salman/Rani who want a child but can't. I wonder how it would be if this drama was a real-life take-off from a real couple's life.

      Rani appears happy with another pretty lady in her house who has been brought in to make a child for her & Salman. She cares for Priety and tries pushing her husband Salman to Preity so they may have some romance. When will the audience get fed up of Salman's nakhras.

      Though a good past-time, this movie is unbearable. Absurd.

      An Entertainer with fine performances & music.

      Chori Chori Chupke Chupke has all the ingredients to be a success of 2001 after "Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai", which was the huge success of 2000.

      This is a remake of "Doosri Dulhan" which starred Sharmila Tagore, Shabana Azmi and Victor Bannerjee, where all the three performers delivered excellent performances. The visible difference with that movie is its presentation and youthful lively characterization with Anu Malik's music.

      The film begins with some light moments with some songs well filmed on abroad locations, later takes an emotional turn with the entry of Priety Zinta, as a prostitute, who is chosen by Salman Khan to conceive his baby.

      All the three characters have done a splendid job, but the winner is undoubtedly Priety Zinta, the film belongs to her, she has performed very well as a prostitute who encounters a different world after entering in the life of Salman Khan.

      Even though getting less scope Salman Khan performs lively and underplays the character as per demand, Rani Mukerjee too has done her part of job pretty well.Rest Johny Lever, Amrish Puri & Farida Jalal did as usual.

      Abbas Mustan, the director brothers has a good grip on script, especially in the second half of the movie,Music Director Anu Malik has come up with one of the catchy title song "Rag rag main is tarah...", dialogues by Javed Siddiqui are also worth appreciation with some meaningful lines.

      The only draw back is its unacceptable story idea, but the positive aspects are enough to make it a box office success.

      Preity shined through...!

      It is said that some of the scenes from this movie are borrowed from the Hollywood movie "Pretty Woman",which i think is a interesting fact. The love-triangle between the characters of Salman Khan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji was a very interesting one as it was not so very original. To want a child so much that you would be willing to share your man to another woman just to have a child-are insane in my opinion. Watched this movie very long time ago, but i found that Zinta overshadowed everyone with her bubbly character as a prostitute. Even if i wished for her to get her man,i was satisfied with the ending anyway. Everyone got somehow what they wanted.

      Preity Zinta all the way!

      Chori Chori Chupke Chupke is about a newly married couple, Raj and Priya (Salman Khan and Rani Mukherjee). Priya cannot conceive after an accident which made her miscarry a previous pregnancy, and they finally decide to use a surrogate mother, who will carry their child. They pick Madhubala, a vulgar prostitute (Preity Zinta). This element in the film is obviously not very realistic. I mean, isn't it easier to adopt? And even if they pick a girl, does it mean the man has to sleep with her? I guess the writers have not heard of artificial insemination, but I guess if they had, the film wouldn't have been made, so anyway let's get on. So yes, they hire the services of this young, crude woman, who knows nothing about anything but has good intentions and a kind heart deep within. She agrees to help them, but what about her? Will she ever realise what she's doing?

      The film is generally a nice watch. Despite its flaws, it has an engaging story, many familiar faces, and great songs. The big family thing is evidently a take-off on Hum Aapke Hain Koun, which is not a bad thing, since audiences must love this concept. That the film relies on a host of character actors and not a single villain is quite nice; actors who are often made to play the bad guys, find themselves here as nice uncles or grandpas; in particular Amrish Puri shines in his wholesome, kind grandpa avatar. The cinematography is quite bad, and so is the lack of originality in the script. Particularly annoying is the chain of sequences lifted straight off Pretty Woman. Why? Does it hurt to attempt some originality, Abbas? Mustan? Anyone? Those watching will likely find these portions quite distracting especially because of how poor they are, compared to the original.

      Similarly, the lead pair struggle with poorly written parts, although their chemistry isn't very bad. Khan plays his part pretty well. It's nice to see him take a serious character for once, although he tends to underplay it a tad too much. Moreover, the cheap dialogues about his great love for his wife and how hard he finds it to sleep with another woman were quite cheesy and redundant. Mukherjee, who is pretty and radiant, is just about okay acting-wise; this isn't entirely her fault because the part is really just another derivative manifestation of numerous previous prototypical female roles of the sort, serving age-old ideas and lacking depth and complexity. Still, she is generally effective and tries her best to somehow enhance an otherwise stereotypical part of the traditional, ever-giving wife. Eventually, both take a back seat to make room for the entrance of Preity Zinta.

      And indeed, the film belongs to Preity Zinta, who steals the show with what gradually emerges as THE performance of the film. Even within a less credible film, and despite some faulty instances early on where she is made to scream a little too much, she manages to make the transformation from the loud prostitute to a sensitive woman most naturally, presenting a convincing and touching portrait of awakening and self-discovery. Due credit goes to Zinta, who is totally unaffected and free of pretense. She appears to live the role and makes you wish for her character's best interest, partly because of how the role is etched out, but mainly because of Zinta's magnetic and positive personality. This performance is easily the main reason to watch the film, and by the end, her Madhubala is the one you end up feeling the most for, more than you could initially imagine.

      The film's poignant ending only highlights Zinta's position as the star of the show, and the directors probably realised right through the process that focus should be placed entirely on her character. It is therefore not very surprising that she gets to be the one on whom the film's beautiful title track is pictured. This number, where she is clearly positioned as the leading lady rather than a supporting character, is handled very well. It is also interesting that, except for one brief moment, we don't get to know much of her story and how she had wound up doing what she did. This was actually a very refreshing and welcome change that isn't usually employed by filmmakers in mainstream Hindi films. Madhubala is never a victim, and that is a half-achievement for this film. Watch Chori Chori Chupke Chupke for Preity Zinta. My high rating is easily for her sincere and moving performance.

      Great Movie

      I love this movie very much i watched it over and over. I don't see why anyone would think this movie wasn't good. Maybe you have seen better or whatever it is i personally love it. It is one of my favorite movies and I am not Hindi at all but i do love it. It might be a little like "Pretty Woman" but i haven't seen that and I don't think it's any better than this. I don't know why you are all trashing about it but maybe you have a good reason but I think i have said it enough but i absolutely love this movie, and to those who say it's not good at all well then I wonder why you watched it and what movies you consider good. As for everyone else that i watched it with they enjoyed it too so it surprises me that this many people don't like it. As for Rani Mukherjee ( i think thats how you spell her last name) she is very beautiful and my favorite actress ever!
