    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.

    REVIEW: CHUP (Review by Student)

    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.

    For the love of Vasanth Kumar Shivshankar Padukone aka Guru Dutt sahab

    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.

    One of the best thrillers of all time!

    Amazing combination of different emotions of actors to make a unique story more thrilling.

    R Balki directed his vision through Dulquer and Sunny Deol. Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Bhatt gave a new perspective to the film. Every detail in the film is not to miss.

    A huge tribute to Guru Dutt's 97th birth anniversary and homage to the late director's film Kaagaz Ke Phool.

    It really depicts the pain of all kind of artists, like, painters, film-makers, actors and every creators in the world who suffers from "wrong criticism". You will be totally CHUP while experiencing in theaters.

    Kudos to the entire team!!!!

    Bollywood needs films like this !

    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.
