Chup

Biases first I love guru dutt to the core, Amitabh Bachchan and Sunny Deol.

An extra Mark for the love of craft of Guru Dutt. In the opening credits when his name was mentioned I knew I would be judging this one harshly.

I love saga of sorts with good thriller quotient and love for cinema. The S. D. Burman and O P Nayyar music reminiscence was a welcome pleasure.

The movie has a good message about the harshnesss of some professions like movie criticism how important and unimportant they are and if compromised how they can ruin the pleasure of an audience.

Although I am fond of the work of Mr Sunny Deol and have been looking for his work since Ghayal returns, I feel he was underplayed and underutilized. His character is called Aravind and the Tamil actor who starred in Roza would have been a perfect choice for this role.

Halfway through the movie I felt it was too R Balki like similar to Shamitabh and only later I discovered it was his directorial.

The movie is great and has all the elements you want from a guru dutt tribute from music to lights to story. The presence of stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Pooja Bhatt only add to the brilliance.

Dulqueer Salman is finally finding footing in Hindi cinema and hope we see more of him.

Disappointed with Sunny Paaji being toned down. He is too big an actor to waste in such mediocrity. Hope his next release Baap alongside Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt and Mithun Chakraborty do justice to his onscreen persona.

The movie in this Bollywood era is a masterpiece

The content of murder mystery in relation with movie critics was out of the box...balki proved himself once again with this movie about his uniqueness..the humour was outclass and sharp..the cinematic creation was mind blowing with old songs of Guruduttji in background..this is purest example of a soft dark movie...dulquer played his character immensely well with soft and tender touch Shreya was no less and looked hot sunny paaji as a cop was dynamite even Poojas character was smart and new...

Good makers sign can be seen here as bluntly they revealed the murderer and how the chase with reason of the murders was amazingly revealed ..the maker created the thrill too which keep you engaged tightly till the superb climax

Amazing cinematic experience.

A movie which really stands out amongst all. This Dulqueer Salmaan and Sunny Deol starrer, directed by the much acclaimed R. Balki is everything you expect it to be. An engaging storyline with good screenplay and just the right amount of metaphor. The movie is hailed by D. Salmaan. He is not a stranger when it comes to delivering commendable performances but this has to be his best work yet. The range shown by him while playing the character of 'Danny' is mind-blowing. The rest of the cast which includes our very own Sunny Deol and a familiar face in the web series world Shreya Dhanwantary did justice to their roles aswell. Even the background score produced by Aman Pant is extremely impressive. Lastly, the direction by R. Balki is what forms the gold petals around CHUP. Balki proved that the most important thing in a movie is it's story. Even though I think the climax could have been shot a bit better and when it comes to the technical aspects of the film like it's colour grading I honestly think there is a lot of room for improvement there. Overall the movie is a treat to the audiences. It has a gist of everything. It's a must watch in my opinion. Don't know about others but this movie encouraged me to write my first review.

Well directed, well written and masterfully shot. The build up had me glued to my seat, every frame was just a delight to watch. References to Guru Dutt's Kagaz Ke Phool were tastefully done and all in all the serial killer and his various activities were depicted with a finesse that would make one's skin crawl. The cast gave excellent performances and the hauntingly beautiful music was just the accentuation that the film needed to top it all off. All in all, an extremely enjoyable and goosebump-inducing film by R. Balki. Worth a watching in your nearest movie theater for sure. Chup = chills..

An absolute masterpiece from R. Balki yet again! Must Watch!!! One of the best suspense thrillers with an intriguing plot & breathtaking screenplay. Beautiful background scores keep one thrilled in their seat right till the end. Massive tribute to Guru Dutt Ji. Standout performance by fan-favorite superstar Dulquer Salmaan - He is like art, one can never take the eye away from. Halfway through this review, my hands are already shivering while thinking of the after-effects of it, yet I am taking the risk because this film is worth its appreciation. Cinema lovers are truly going to enjoy this one. #CriticsKoChup Bollywood is back. Thank you Balki Sir!
