Chup Chup Ka fails to grip!

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.

What a great concept! A mute Kareena who doesn't show up until after 95mins into the film! Va!

My goodness! This film would have received a poorer rating for me if not for the fact that Kareena Kapoor doesn't talk in the film as well as the fact that you can enjoy the first hour and a half without sight nor sound of her. God bless the director & writer for that alone.

Okay, with that said here's the plot in a nutshell: Shahid Kapoor plays Jeetu, a happy go-lucky dude whom we meet down on his luck as all the people he is indebted to have now come to collect. His problem? He doesn't have the money to pay up. Nevertheless, he is witty. He devices a plan to gather all of his collectors into a meeting by the sea where he not only reveals to them that he cannot pay up but also that he is about to commit suicide. Unfazed, most of the collectors encourage him to jump into the sea and that in fact if he does so and drowns, they would forget about the money he owes them. So Jeetu jumps into the sea. The collectors go back to the village to report what has happened and a massive search goes into effect to recover his body, which is never found. Jeetu's family gather by the beach, watching the search efforts and they all take turns reflecting on the sad turn of events and what happened the last time they saw him. Jeetu's fiancée Pooja (played by Sushma Reddy) even decides after this to become a widow for life.

Meanwhile, miles away in a remote village in Gujarat, Jeetu's body surfaces in a fisherman's net and in a hilarious skit is taken to hospital by Bandya(Rajpal Yadav) whom found him, and Gundya (Paresh Rawal) his boss. While Jeetu is unconscious, Bandya finds a letter amongst his things and mistakes it for money Jeetu owns, not knowing that it's actually money that Jeetu owes to people. Jeetu awakes to find both men plotting on how to squeeze him for cash and decides to play deaf and dumb to them. Note: Shahid Kapoor plays this in such a stereotypically bad way, it's painful.

Bandya, a man in debt on his own now takes Jeetu under his wing but soon gets in trouble with one of his own debt collectors Prabhat Singh Chauhan (played by OM Puri). After another bout of very funny skits, somehow Bandya & Jeetu end up being servants in Chauhan's house to pay off Gundya's debt and there Jeetu meets a truly mute girl named Shruti(played by his real life love Kareena Kapoor) with whom sparks fly. I don't know whether it's because Miss Kapoor was mute in the role but Neha Dhupia who plays Meenakshi manages to outshine her on the acting front. Blink and you'll miss Anupam Kher & Amita Nangia every time they show them briefly as Jeetu's grieving parents. Manoj Joshi play's Pooja's father.

Music by Himesh Reshamiya of which only two songs are stellar. 'Dil Vich Lagya' & the henna ceremony song, I can't remember the title of that song but it's really catchy and the video's beautiful. On the DVD, there's a video for one deleted song which features Shahid & Kareena Kapoor. It takes place after Jeetu's suicide scene, Jeetu jumps int the sea and emerges in a mermaid-like lair where Kareena's is Dancing Queen. It looks great but wouldn't have fit into the film's storyline, so they smartly deleted it from the film's final cut. Oh! before I forget, Suniel Shetty is in there too, though you wouldn't know from the promos (I didn't even notice him in the promo for 'Dil Vich Lagya' and he's a big part of the song). He plays Shruti's possessive older brother Mangal Singh Chauhan. Here's hoping Shahid Kapoor collected the fattest salary for this film for all the over-time tight slaps he received throughout the film. LOL!

Not such a good movie by Priyadarshan

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.
