Nonureva Really Surprised!

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

namashi_1 Priyadarshan's 'Chup Chup Ke' is a below average entertainer from 2006. Priyadarshan known for making over-the-top, mindless comedies, which have worked big time in the years gone by. But 'Chup Chup Ke' is easily one of his weakest fares. Reason? The first hour of the film is entertaining, though the proceedings are slow. The second is plays a complete spoilsport. The track becomes serious, boring and exhausting. Why Priyadarshan why?Performance Wise : Paresh Rawal can never be doubted, he's a legendary actor and he's amazing in all his films. 'Chup Chup Ke' is no exception. Om Puri is delightful. Rajpal Yadav is a such an actor, that which ever role you handover him he'll excel in it no matter what. Shakti Kapoor is one of the finest actors Bollywood has witnessed. He's mind blowing. Shahid has a lot to learn. Kareena is cute. Neha Dhupia and Sushma Reddy impress. Anupam Kher is bland. Manoj Joshi gets no scope. Suniel Shetty is functional.On the whole, 'Chup Chup Ke' has a enjoyable first hr in kitty, but a dull and dragging second hr leaves you yawning.

sashank_kini-1 I have loved Hera Pheri, Hungama and Hulchul by Priyadarshan because they had the humor that could make me laugh a lot. The jokes in these three movies weren't repetitive and the movie didn't dull down any moment. When I saw Chup Chup Ke with my parents, I kept laughing just because my father was howling in laughter and I fond the movie funny. But when I saw the movie alone again, I did not find it funny at all.Paresh Rawal got too repetitive in his manners and behavior. Shahid was an epitome of over acting. He looked weird rather than humorous playing deaf and dumb. Rajpal Yadav kept playing his usual role as a side kick who is made to do a lot of silly acts. I liked Kareena's acting as it was natural and, thank god, she did not talk throughout the movie. While the Gujarati family, which had Om Puri and a couple of hundreds of people, really addled my mind. I don't think we have wrestlers in Gujarat who keep fighting. Its normally done in the North. And instead of playing Garbo, the family celebrates singing Hindi songs and dancing as if they are Punjabis. I mean, in the beginning, most of the members of the family are shown as if they do not know any Hindi, and in the second part, all are shown singing in Hindi.The second half of the movie was terribly dragging as members of the family kept weeping all the time. The film had too many characters and so, it became a complete mess.Overall, it is a bad movie. So I give it a 4 out of 10.

Naukhez Arslan 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.

Avinash Patalay 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?
