Good start, but then it gets ruined

... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreSome Time adaptation are far better than the Originals and Chocolate proves that, but the problem is that this Film is far away from the IQ level of most of the Indian Film Lovers.About Story: This is not the easy film. You can't miss a single shot, even the worst song "mummy ko nahi hai pata". You have to connect the story chain of Irfan Khan. You have to use your mind, you have to try to find the main suspect. I am 101% sure, If you don't know anything about the the Film, you will not find the "main suspect" at any point during watching it. Even those who are saying, this is the dubbed/copy/stolen version of "The Usual Suspects" can't find the "main suspect". When I was watching "The Usual Suspects" before 15 minutes from the End, I tell the name of "main suspect" & he was,but in Chocolate you can't.Acting: Acting is the Plus point of this movie. No need to tell about Anil Kappor, Arshad Warsi & Irfan Khan's Acting, we all know they are the Ring Masters of Acting. Sunil Shetty in a New Avtar. Imran & Tanushee did a fantastic Job.Music: Refreshing music by Pritam & plus point the "Anthem" of the film.A Perfect Film for Perfect Audience.
... View MoreInnumerable movies have been copied and perhaps "Chocolate" qualifies for the worst when it comes to adapting for Bollywood. For starters, the story line is loaded with complexity. Added to it are the sub-plots which are far too many and should have been trimmed down to aid the comprehension of the Bollywood audience. And the non-linear progression adds to the woes. There are too many unwarranted "sex" references (read that "force-fit"). Basing the London was a bad idea. Performance wise Anil Kapoor delivers a strong screen-presence. Next is Arshad Warsi. Tanushree Dutta attempts hard to display her "oomph". Emran Hashmi hardly leaves an impact. Sunil Shetty was extremely wooden. Irfan Khan is perhaps the worst considering the expectations that would arise when his name is associated with the project. Sushma Reddy is awful on both department, choice of costumes and acting. I was amused to the opening credits stating "Inspired Films" presents. I suppose "Plagiarised Films" would more more apt.
... View MoreDon't be put off by tripe written about this film comparing it to the original. Just as 'Vanilla sky' was not as good as 'Open Your Eyes', this film may not be as good as the Usual Suspects but it is a very credible attempt at remaking the original for Indian audience. What would be the point in making the exact original, as the context and audience are different. If one could make a remake the original as good as, or better than the original, then it would denigrate the original. Why bother to go and see a remake if you expect to see the original. Why not except how good the original was and what brave attempt it is to try and pay homage to the original in the remake.Yes the songs are crap and were unnecessary to the story line. Anil Kapoor and Irfan Khan with their new looks have given depth to their characters. The rest of the cast is mediocre and can't match the performance of two leading actors. Sushma Reddy can't act that is certain. Tanushree Dutta may be the obligatory pretty face in Indian movies, but she tries hard to give some twist to the story line and her relationship with Irfan Khan. Cinematography is quite refreshing for an Indian film and is homage to the original. Some of the plot lines are weak and lack credibility but the pace and continuity of the film certainly keeps you guessing. I kept thinking till the end that it would end like the original with Kevin Spacy walking out on his own. The end shot did come as a surprise, as it gave the story some freshness, even though it may appeal to sugar sentimentality of Indian Audience. Do see this film and then see the original again and except the original may be best but this remake is not bad as first Film from a young directors who is not afraid to tread dangerous ground.
... View MoreThis is a really good thriller keeps you in suspense throughout the movie ending is shocking but the story could have had more if the ending were different this movie still has the type of stupidity but it is a genius there is good elements in this movie especially the character that Anil Kapoor is obsessed with finding won't reveal the character you just have to watch the movie but it is a great story with only Anil Kapoor and Irfan Khan delivering a good performance the rest are just cheesily hanging around Sunil Shetty is a lso pretty good perofrmance it's a good movie it just lacks some elements which makes it a weak candor but otherwise it's good suspenseful it's enjoyable songs suck but the movie is good the story althoug weakened by the ending
