Chup

A brutally honest and spine-chilling psychological thriller from R Balki that flaunts a brilliant lead act from Dulquer Salmaan alongside a subtle and memorable cop-act by Sunny Deol !

The narrative by Balki moves in a lethargic pace but has its own beauty and the tight screenplay ensures that the audience is glued to the screens right from the word go!

The interval block and the climax sequences were top- notch and made memorable by haunting music and performances

The references to yesteryear classic 'Kagaz Ke Phool' by maestro Guru Dutt was intertwined cleverly with the narrative and deserves a special mention.

Overall,Chup is an authentic Balki craft that deserves a watch from the cinemas for its novel narrative,stellar performances and beautiful musical score.

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.

I don't want to give spoilers but yes every scene in the movie is designed in class and one can be thrilled by seeing the way they have portrayed the murder and every detail has won the heart. The background score is the main protagonist I must say. This film will keep you intact till end.

Such "Story and Screenplay" is something which was missing for a very long time. Witnessing this superb masterpiece through public review was an extraordinary experience in itself. The whole cast and their roles are so magnificently written ..every killer has a story but this story is something which touched my heart! A Must-Watch Film.

Most of us will be aware of what to predict from a psycho-thriller, a cat and mouse game between the killer and the cop, the killer's past and the motive, the climax, and all that. What makes this movie different from other thrillers is that the whole concept which the film try speak itself is something distinctive and never seen before.

On top of all that DQ's performance stands out. One of the good thrillers to be considered to watch in the cinema and won't disappoint anyone, just surprised by the fact that this movie is rated pg15 in UAE with all its blood and gore while it's rated A in India.

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.
