So much average

One of the best films i have seen

An unexpected masterpiece

For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

This movie was so entertaining and enjoyable I really enjoyed watching the film a lot Akshaye khanna was brilliant kareena kapoor was brilliant arshad warsi is the show stealer paresh is funny Jackie is superb amrish is always remarkable Arbaaz is superb Sunil is superb shakti is superb Nice songs I really enjoyed listening and seeing songs of this movie Good storyline good screenplay good editing good direction Overall 8/10 what a film

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.

I thought this movie was an okay one because of the storyline. I give the acting a 6 and a half out of ten. I give the storyline a 9/10 and I give the songs a 6/10. Kareena Kapoor pretends that she is in love with Akshaye Khanna but then she really falls in love with him. Circamstances have different plans for them. Akshaye Khanna's dad Amrish Puri and Kareena Kapoor's grandma or mum hate each other but at the end their families get together and Akshaye Khanna and Kareena Kapoor get married. I liked the bit when everyone is running to get the necklace and when Akshay Khanna pretends to be the groom when Kareena Kapoor's grandma/mum finds out.

Hulchul continues Malayalee director Priyadarshan's habit of remaking Malayalam hit movies into Bollywood box office success. Hulchul is a remake of the Siddique-Lal-directed "God Father" (1991), in which two kids from rival families fall in love. Their romance is complicated by the fact that the guy's patriarch and the girl's matriarch bitterly hate each other. The story is somewhat inspired by Romeo and Juliet, except that it's a comedy.("Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega..." (2000), which was not directed by Priyadarshan, was a remake of Priyadarshan's Malayalam superhit "Chandralekha" (1997).)"Hera Pheri" (2000), touted as one of the biggest Bollywood comedies of the past decade, was Priyadarshan's remake of Siddique's first big Malayalam hit, "Ramji Rao Speaking" (1989).It would be nice if Priyadarshan could bring something original to the Bollywood screen, rather than remakes.
