In R Balki's latest film 'Chup: Revenge of The Artist', a serial killer is killing noted film critics one by one and giving ratings to their dead bodies. Gruesome right? Featuring Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary and Sunny Deol, 'Chup' is meta in so many levels. While Deol plays an investigating officer, Salmaan plays a mysterious florist called Danny who falls for entertainment reporter Nila, played by Dhanwanthary. Dulquer's role is complex and he gives his all to play Danny to perfection. Is the role his career's best? Watch Critically speaking to find out more.

Critically Speaking: Has Dulquer Salmaan delivered his career best in 'Chup'?

<p>Film criticism is a strange job these days. If one takes a cursory glance at Rotten Tomatoes pages of some of the recent crowd-pleasing movies, Bollywood or otherwise, there is a huge gulf between the critics' ratings and the audiences' ratings. On social media sites, particularly Twitter, if critics end up giving a negative review to a well-loved movie, trolls heap abuse -- it's a given at this point. There is a certain lack of trust here. And R Balki uses that in his latest, 'Chup: Revenge of the Artist'. Balki is worth admiring for always trying to do something different with each film. The resulting experiments are not always successful, but he deserves the points when most of his peers use readymade formulas to make big bucks.</p>

<p>The concept of 'Chup' alone is worth the price of admission, even if the execution turns out to be clumsy. The film gets enough things right for it to be an oft-interesting-and-never-boring film. It will also probably kick off a debate about critiquing works of art (if we consider films works of art, that is) -- something, I presume, the writers (Balki, Raja Sen, and Rishi Virmani) intended.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A serial killer is loose on the rain-drenched streets of Bandra, Mumbai, and this one is pretty finicky. He (or she?) only murders film critics. And his modus operandi is brutal, almost vengeful. The corpses are found, in different cases, slashed as though by a coked-up wolverine, cut in half a railway track, and in one case, the major internal organs are removed. The killings appear to echo the metaphors used in the reviews.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;(it's like R Balki is daring us critics to give 'Chup' bad reviews)</p>

<p>The culprit does have one thing going for them. They are fair. They target those critics too who they believe are over-generous with their star ratings. A movie called 'Kalinga', an expensive spectacle and little else (a reference to 'Kalank', no doubt) is effusively praised by the fearful critics, one of whom is killed anyway.</p>

<p>So who is this picky killer? Is it a disgruntled filmmaker? Or one of their fanatics? Or just a psychopath who believes film critics should not exist. This is the question Inspector General Arvind Mathur (a refreshingly understated Sunny Deol) is tasked to answer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One other subplot follows a gentle but lonely florist Danny who has a habit of talking to himself. He falls in love with entertainment reporter Nila Menon (a brilliant Shreya Dhanwanthary, who also played a journalist called Sucheta Dalal in 'Scam 1992'), after spotting that she, too, talks to herself (yes!).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Eventually, these two threads coalesce, as they must.</p>

<p>'Chup' is not really a murder mystery, which the trailers had led me to think. The film does not even try to hide the person who has acquired the status of bogeyman for the film critics. Or at least I think that is the case. That would have been fine by me. But the movie tries to cram too many ideas into its plot, which is way more than it can handle. It is, simultaneously, many things -- a tribute to Guru Dutt, a police procedural, a thriller, a meditation on the art of film criticism, and even a bit of a character study. In the end, it fails at being any of those. For instance, Arvind, despite Sunny really nailing the role that requires him to be more subtle than he likely wanted, comes across as something of a dunce for a high-ranking police officer (I am sure that wasn't the attention).&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are moments when 'Chup' throws up a few interesting questions and then leaves one hanging. Also, for an out-and-out psychopathic serial killer, the script goes too long a way into explaining why they became what they became -- the rough childhood, the abusive parent, the dead dog, and so. Oh, the poor thing. One character even says something like, "It's no surprise then they turned into a serial killer." It's not just off-putting, but also rather quotidian.</p>

<p>There are, of course, a lot of things to like here, which is why I said earlier that the movie is never boring even when it stumbles. The performances are excellent all around. Deol, Salmaan, and Dhanwanthary are all pretty great. Cinematographer Vishal Sinha, going along with the movie's throughline, makes Mumbai even more beautifully cinematic than it is during Monsoons. The visuals are quite lovely, and well-complemented by Aman Pant's score. The classic Hindi songs appear in the movie every now and then, and this reminded me of 'Bombay Rose', a stunning hand-animated feature that is, in my opinion, the finest tribute to Bollywood.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And finally, 'Chup' does succeed in bringing out the fraught relationship between filmmakers and critics. So, that's it. This film is largely watchable but is not as profound as it thinks it is.<br />

'Chup' is a beautiful, well-acted film, but squanders a lot of interesting ideas

'Chup'

<p>R Balki has always tried to give a hard-hitting message through his light-hearted films, whether it was 'Paa', 'Pad Man' or 'Cheeni Kum'. But, this time, the acclaimed director has tried to venture into a new genre with his forthcoming movie 'Chup' and looks like Balki has done a fair job.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On the first day of the week, makers dropped the thrilling trailer of the upcoming psychological thriller starring Sunny Deol, and Dulquer Salmaan in pivotal roles.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The crime thriller set in Mumbai revolves around Sunny Deol, who is investigating&nbsp;a series of murders taking place in the city against the film critics. The one-minute trailer also shows the gripping chemistry of Salmaan's character with Shreya Dhanwanthary. They both look like struggling actors and seems like there is something mysterious hidden.</p>

<p>The clips show the gory scenes of critics being tortured by the serial killer, who is engraving rating stars on their foreheads for their biased reviews&nbsp;of the movies and the filmmakers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film also has several references to legendary filmmaker Guru Dutt and how his cult-classic film 'Kaagaz Ke Phool' was panned by the critics. The harsh words written for his film affected&nbsp;Dutt so badly, that he even stopped making films.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film also stars Pooja Bhatt in the lead role. In the trailer, Bhatt's character is saying that how the film is a baby of the director and calls critics 'killers'.<br />
<br />
Written and directed by R Balki, the film is scheduled to release on September 23.</p>


R Balki has always tried to give a hard-hitting message through his light-hearted films, whether it was 'Paa', 'Pad Man' or 'Cheeni Kum'. But, this time, the acclaimed director has tried to venture into a new genre with his forthcoming movie 'Chup' and looks like Balki has done a fair job.

The crime thriller set in Mumbai revolves around Sunny Deol, who is investigating a series of murders taking place in the city against the film critics. The one-minute trailer also shows the gripping chemistry of Salmaan's character with Shreya Dhanwanthary. They both look like struggling actors and seems like there is something mysterious hidden. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunny Deol (@iamsunnydeol) × The clips show the gory scenes of critics being tortured by the serial killer, who is engraving rating stars on their foreheads for their biased reviews of the movies and the filmmakers. The film also has several references to legendary filmmaker Guru Dutt and how his cult-classic film 'Kaagaz Ke Phool' was panned by the critics. The harsh words written for his film affected Dutt so badly, that he even stopped making films. The film also stars Pooja Bhatt in the lead role. In the trailer, Bhatt's character is saying that how the film is a baby of the director and calls critics 'killers'. Written and directed by R Balki, the film is scheduled to release on September 23.
