Hulchul

Director
: Pryiadharshan
Music
: Vidyasagarr
Producer

Hulchul by Priyadarshan is a remake of the Malayalam hit, God father. Promoted as a comedy, it has a galaxy of stars lined up.

The movie is about two estranged families staying in nearby villages. One of the families consisting of the hot tempered Angaarchand (Amridh Puri) and his four sons (Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Arbaaz Khan and Akshaye Khanna) live in a small town Matkapur. The other family headed by the rich and arrogant Lakshmi Devi ( Lakshmi)lives in Anpura with her three sons and Anjali (Kareena Kapoor ), her granddaughter. The two families are always at loggerheads with each other. .

Angaarchand hates women to the point of erecting a board in front of the house declaring 'Women-kind are not allowed inside'. Even the mare mention of the opposite sex is strictly forbidden in their family. Angaarchand has taken such a stand due to past family tragedy involving a women which resulted in the feud between the two families.

Both Anjali and Jai (Akshaye Khanna), the youngest son of Angaarchand land up in the same college. Anjali has been send by her family with a devious scheme - to make Jai fall in love with her and thus break his families vow. Jai on the other hand plays his own game. But the charade turns serious when the two develop real feelings for each other. Then it becomes a battle between the couple who wants to get married and the two families who are dead against it.

The first half delivers what the film promises.. It is light with comical situations in plenty. But in the second half the movie takes a complete turn, becoming more serious. Clashes of ego between the two families come to the forefront till the climax where it becomes light again. Music is just okay; screen play, dialogues and cinematography is good.

Akshay as Jai gives a convincing performance. Arshad Warsi as his best friend and trouble maker who assists Jai in all his pranks steals the show. Kareena looks good and is competent especially in the first half. Amrish Puri gives his usual tough act. The rest of the cast are ok.

Even with all its flaws, the movie is entertaining in most parts. Leave logic behind and you could enjoy it.
