Chup: Revenge of the Artist, is a psychological crime thriller written and directed by R Balki. The film follows a serial killer who targets film critics who give dishonest reviews for films. A mysterious serial killer is on the loose in Mumbai, with gruesome murders of film critics. Mumbai Ig Arvind Mathur (Sunny Deol) is investigating the case. There is also Nila Menon (Shreya Dhanwanthary) an entertainment reporter, Danny (Dulquer Salmaan), a florist and Dr. Zenobia Shroff (Pooja Bhatt), a criminal psychologist involved in the case forms the broader gist of the plot.

Chup begins with a brutal murder of a film critic. Followed by yet another, the following week. This sends shivers down the film journalist fraternity, and they demand protection for the 300 odd film critics. Ig Mathur (Sunny Deol) finds it impossible to abide by the demands and gets cracking on the case with the mounting pressure that...

ReviewIt begins with a great idea, and one can appreciate the development of the script, but somewhere in its structuring and performances, the great idea gets a little lost.CrisThat Chup has managed to contain itself is proven by the fact that I could write this review without shaky hands, without constantly looking behind me, wondering if there is a hooded figure ready to pounce with a knife. It is only a film, the making clearly says, about a psychopath who kills film critics, for the reviews that they write. Thankfully it is not shot like a documentary, which could have given you the jitters. Plus they give you stars like Dulquer Salmaan, Sunny Deol and Pooja Bhatt, so definitely, not real. One can imagine how it must have begun as a one-line plot – an artist who kills reviewers – and then developed into a well-thought-out script, with the how and...

Waiting

Starring Naseeruddin Shah, Kalki Koechlin

Directed by Anu Menon

There are hospitals — and there are hospitals — to take care of the ill. But there are no schools to to teach us how to cope with the ill.

Waiting is about two people whose respective spouses are seriously ill and in a coma. Shiv (Naseeruddin Shah) and Tara (Kalki Koechlin) are just…waiting…waiting for a miracle, perhaps?

Of the two Tara is the younger, hence angry, confused and bitter. Shiv, who doesn’t know his from Adam (or Eve) takes charge of her — sort of — holds her hand — sort of — and guides her through the various stages that the bereaved must go through before they attain a state of calm acceptance.

There is this elegantly-staged scene in Tara’s hotel room where Shiv explains to her how she must make her bewildered way through the many emotions that destiny...
