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.

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..
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.

Finally, a movie which deserves good word-of-mouth publicity. Watched the preview show and I am quite impressed with the screenplay and direction.
Background reprised music kept the soul of the film alive. Has one song which I felt should have been avoided to keep the intensity intact.
Performance is good, all supporting casts played their role well.
It was nice to see Sunny and Pooja after so long. Salman's performance looks very natural and impressive.
It's not a typical edge of the seat thriller but is still very gripping which would keep you curious till the end.
The climax felt a bit rushed but overall worth a watch for thriller lovers.

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.
