Wow! Such a good movie.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Let's be realistic.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

An adaptation of the 1991 Malayalam film Godfather, Priyadarshan's 'Hulchul' is a thoroughly entertaining film, that also packs in several terrific performances from it's mammoth cast. It's loud, yet a joyride!'Hulchul' Synopsis: A man and woman from feuding families each pretend to fall in love, as part of a revenge plot. Chaos ensues when their fake romance becomes a reality.Neeraj Vora's Screenplay, which focuses on two rival families, is throughly enjoyable, what if it is high pitch. And the dialogue, are superb. The first-hour is absolutely hilarious, while the Second-Hour gets serious & slightly intense. Priyadarshan's Direction is good. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are passable. Music by Vidyasagar, is decent.Performance-Wise: Akshaye Khanna is fabulous, as always. Kareena is highly energetic. Paresh Rawal & Arshad Warsi are hilarious! Jackie Shroff is excellent, as ever. Suniel Shetty is extremely likable in a strong supporting role. Arbaaz Khan is adequate. Amrish Puri is great. Laxmi plays the vamp, most convincingly. Manoj Joshi & Shakti Kapoor are terrific. Asrani, Farah Naaz, Akhilendra Mishra & Deep Dhillon lend good support. On the whole, 'Hulchul' is high-voltage entertainment.

Priyadarshan's Hulchul is a great entertainer. Like his earlier film Hungama, this one will also have you in splits. There are a lot of great actors in the film. Starting with Akshay Khanna, Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Amrish Puri, Arshad Warsi and many more.Arshad Warsi is hilarious, he picks up where he left off in Munna Bhai MBBS. His character is well etched and has you laughing every time he's on the screen. Paresh Rawal is great as usual.Akshaye Kumar and Kareena Kapoor have great on screen chemistry its clearly visible in the song "Rafta Rafta". They fit their roles like a glove. Jackie Shroff and Suniel Shetty are good as usual.Sadly, this is one of Amrish Puri's last performances, but he does a great job. He will be sorely missed and remembered forever!

Priyadarshan succeeds when he chooses to portray a meaningless theme on screen. Fights between two families of the boy and girl with all the ridiculous theories is commonplace over trivial issues and in the end their love lords over the enmity. What makes you laugh your heart out is superb acting by Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, and Aksay Khanna who has finally come of age and the complete meaninglessness of the plot that leaves you stunned that whether a more meaningless plot can ever be carved out. Anyway a good light movie that should surely be watched at least once but not more than that.The gahamagahmi scenes which created such a classic out of Hera-Pheri once again makes a comeback towards the end with a foolish marriage ceremony culminating with hero succeeding in putting the Varmala in its proper place.

Then you would love this movie. Arshad Warshi is so funny, the highlight of the movie.The movie starts off okay, its setting the plot. Here's whats happening, actually the whole plot is very superfluous. But then you would never really care. Wait for Arshad to kick in. The movie sort of slacks off a bit in the end.Acting is good except 'Julie' aunt does not impress. And a series of songs that will bore you. Bad songs and not needed. I wouldn't care about it.Its just a laugh your socks off movie. The dialogs are snappy and very hilarious.You will come out with a good deal of laughs.I rate it 8/10.
