Chup Chup Ke (2006)

This movie is a remake of a Malayalam Movie Priyadarsan made several years ago. The Malayalam movie was genius. It had no trouble mixing comedy and drama. Proving that mixing these two genres is very much possible. Heck the Malayalam movie was so good any person who's watched it, would still stop whatever they're doing to get another glimpse of scenes from the movie if some scene from the movie happens to be played somewhere around them.So why was this movie so much worse than the Malayalam version? Well, let's see what changed, shall we? Pretty much the only thing that changed, was the cast. Actors in the Bollywood version was so horrible, it's incredible. In fact, the only person who acted well in the movie was Kareena Kapoor. Shahid simply did not do a good enough job adapting to the character. Not to an extend that is expected of him, who's otherwise a brilliant actor.Not even the comedians were able to pull of the brilliant Comic breaks that was scripted for them. Bollywood has evolved into an industry people seek to join for it's glamour, and nothing but the glam and money. These days, it only has a handful of good actors. While the rest are popular only due to glam and gossiping. Shameful!

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.

This is a really nice film to watch with your friends and family, i mean when i first saw this movie i really liked it and i would watch it again.Shahid Kapoor is a great actor, he should do films with Akshay or maybe Salman Khan, he is very talented and was very funny in this film, and not to mention he is the next best danced to Hrithik Roshan. Kareena Kapoor was very good in the film, even though i am not a big fan of hers she is very talented and can go far in her career, that is if she picks the right roles. I also liked Anumpam Kher and Shakti Kapoor too also, they were very funny in the film.The music is very good in the movie, my personal faves were "Dil Vich" and "Hare Hare"i really recommend it to everyone.

I saw the movie at least 5-6 times in TV. But every time I missed some crucial portion so I could understand the movie. But then during holi of 2007 I got a chance to watch the movie when it was being shown in local cable channel in Patna. This is a typical original Priyadarshan movie.Shahid Kapoor takes a lot of loans from different peoples in order to settle in some business. He is unable to repay the loan. To escape from the lenders he jumps to the village river to commit suicide. But he is saved by Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav who own a boat & are fisherman by profession. Paresh Rawan has taken a huge loan from Om Puri to procure the boat and he is also unable to repay it. Hence he leaves both Shahid & Rajpal in their home as a security. Shahid pretends to be deaf & mute and obviously won their sympathy. Kareena falls for Shahid thinking that he is actually deaf & mute. Confusion starts when Sushma Reddy comes into the picture. She is the ex-fiancée of Shahid and stays as his widow thinking him to be dead.Whom will Shahid marry finally. Will it be Kareena or Sushma ? Chup Chup Ke though is a comedy but it is in different class than that of certain Dhawan. Priyan's Garam Masala, Hulchul, Hungama, Yeh tera ghar yeh mera ghar, Hera Pheri, Phir Herapheri, Muskurahat were of different class. His comedy are of different league altogether than those of all other comedy movies.In all, Chup Chup ke makes a nice watch.
