Chup chup ke.....

Recently I watched Priyadarshan's "Chup chup ke". I am still tearing my hair off. I have been a fan of Priyadarshan and I am really disappointed with this one from him. He has pulled off many a hits like Hungama, Hulchul and Malamaal Weekly. One would go to Priyadarshan's movie with the expectation that there would be a wholesome entertainment. This one fails to bring any smile on your face.

I am surprised by the selection of the star cast by the director. Except for Paresh Rawal, Om Puri and Rajpal Yadav the others are surprise inclusions. I am wondering what Neha Dhupia was doing in the movie. Apart from shaking a leg or two in two songs, she has nothing much to do. Probably the audience is used to seeing skin show by her which is not presented in this film. By the way that reminds me of the songs in this film. Himesh has scored mediocore numbers that fails to entertain even the front benchers. God save Multiplex audience. Paresh Rawal for the first time is a disappointment. But this has been compensated with some lively performance by Rajpal Yadav. He is a live wire in this movie.

Shahid Kapur has been struggling in this industry and this movie does not do any good either. Its difficult to tap the talent in him even by the best of the directors. Kareena plays a dumb girl in this movie and has done a decent job. The director has thrown some surprises by casting Sushma Reddy in a widow's role (I am still laughing). Did I mention Suniel Shetty? Ahem....yes he is also one among the star cast. He is portrayed as a caring and protective brother of Kareena. With his wooden looks, he is also a drawback for the movie's success.

All in all, this movie has no elements of comedy. The director is confused with the plot and so is the audience. Hopefully, Priyadarshan realizes and comes up with a good flick next time.
