Ratings: Negative Sentiment Review By: Komal Nahta Site: Filminformation
R. Balki’s direction is fair and one also gets to see glimpses of his brilliance at times but the fact remains that his choice of subject is so dull that the narration also loses impact. Amit Trivedi’s music and Swanand Kirkire’s lyrics are of a fair standard but the songs are not of the popular variety. On the whole, Chup has a weak premise and, therefore, stands bleak chances at the box-office.

Ratings: Negative Sentiment Review By: Anupama Chopra Site: Youtube
Chup: Revenge of the Artist is a suspenseful slasher film, a swoony romance, and a serious meditation on the contentious relationship between critics and artists. Like previous R Balki films the idea is instantly provocative and dazzling then the execution. Chup insists that critics are essential to cinema but it suggests that we do our job with more sincerity and respect and help audiences hone their taste. Point Noted but perhaps filmmakers should also up their game

Chup is a muddle but certainly not of monumental proportions. That it ventures into uncharted territory is undeniably commendable. But it needed something more to elevate itself above a mere idiosyncratic concept.

Ratings: 2/5 Review By: Shubhra Site: Indian Express
Am I supposed to take this seriously, or laugh it off? Ultimately, it comes down to this: do you really believe that film critics have the power to kill movies? Especially in this digital day and age, when everyone is a critic, not just professional ones? It’s also true that good films always find their audience, but do bad movies deserve to die unsung? Towards the end, a character says : a film works because of word-of-mouth, not critics, and that straightaway undercuts the film’s premise. If indeed critics these days have less influence than doltish trolls, why take the trouble to go after them in the first place? There, I’ve said it: will I still be alive tomorrow?

Despite its positives, Chup’s aspirations to grandeur make it far less engaging than its uncommon theme might suggest. Balki’s film fails to grasp the essence of Guru Dutt’s magic, which was rooted not merely in the beauty of visuals and music, but in the ability to use both to capture the pain, mischief, sense of humour, love and longing of his characters with empathy. In contrast, Chup feels distant from its characters and uninvolved.

At a concept level, Balki and his team of writers (Raja Sen and Rishi Virmani) have a virgin plot that focuses on the life of the film critics, whose vocation has never really been explored in Hindi cinema. He dedicates the first half in cooking up the story and building up the intrigue, quite brilliantly.Now, all you can do is wait for the big reveal in the end, but in a Bollywood thriller that is seldom rewarding. And ‘Chup’ is no exception.

The film surely gripped me till the interval. And then, the curse of the second-half struck. The explanation of the intriguing mystery was so lame that I refused to believe it. I hoped that Balki who wrote the story and the screenplay along with Raja Sen (a film critic himself) and Rishi Virmani would spring one final twist on us and redeem the film. But sadly, that never happened.

It’s like the secret fantasy of every filmmaker come true – kill a film critic every Friday. Although the premise provided grounds for sound critics-bashing, Balki actually gets the space of a critic pretty well, even giving him a dash of respect. Chup is, of course, not perfect And the winding up which gives the killer an entire reel of sentimentality, offers no comfort or justification for the venomous brutality of the killings.

On the whole, CHUP is a unique tale of a serial killer on the loose and boasts of some fine performances. At the box office, it’ll take a healthy start due to the reduced ticket prices on Day 1. From Day 2 onwards, word of mouth will play an important part in pulling audiences to cinemas, especially in urban centres.

Chup comes from a team that immensely loves cinema and everything it represents, you must surrender to an idea that is untouched and brilliant. With some minor flaws, you should not miss watching his ode which is more than just a movie about a killer on loose.
