How sad is this?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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!

I have seen plenty of the Indian movies, almost all of them are about young men and women trying to get married. This one is a little similar, however, this film is so very funny. I had to rewind some scenes just to laugh again. I have never seen a film that made me to laugh so hard.Best of all, those funny scenes don't seem to be contrived. they are so natural. The actors are so good at it. Rajpal Yadav was the best. Indian movies tend to be more than two hours long with an interval. Most of the films lost its momentum in the first part. I very much enjoyed this film, I actually didn't mind that this film was so long, because they keep showing funny scenes one after another.If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely watch it. It will make you laugh so hard. Too bad, the storyline is mostly fit with the Indian society. Otherwise, I totally hope that Hollywood can make one based on this.Shahid Kapur, he can really dance. there was one close up scene showing his teeth, he needs to see a dentist to fix his teeth. I suggest that he should use electrical toothbrush.

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.

Being a Priyadarshan movie, everybody must have expected a comedy caper. Even i thought it was a comedy movie until the end when there was no 'hungama' with all the actors running around. Priya's trademark style.The film was okish. The story was decent. But for a Drama subject, i don't see why there were so many unwanted characters. It makes one confused at some point in the movie.The performance were okish by everyone except Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav who were outstanding as always. Shahid Kapoor has a long way before being called a good actor. Kareena Kapoor had a surprisingly small role which she surprisingly performed well enough and she looked very cute and......reddish. Neha Dupia was good too.Catch this on a DVD and watch it with family. Its a clean movie.
