A young man named Jeetu finds himself in debt with his father receiving harassing visits from money-lenders. Although his father is scolded daily for his non-progress in their debts, his mother and his fiancée Pooja believe he can successfully fulfill his task and live happily, but burdened with high debt, Jeetu sees suicide as his only way out of the situation (insurance money for the family). Unfortunately for him, taking a plunge off a dock into a placid ocean doesn't kill him. He awakens in a boat with two very interesting characters, Gundya and his servant Bundya. In the cost of putting Jeetu in a hospital and saving his life, Gundya and Bundya believe Jeetu owes them a debt. Already in much debt , Jeetu decides to play off that he is deaf and mute. He then finds himself mortgaged to a wealthy man, Prabhart Singh in return for Gundya's confiscated boat and thus ends up as a servant boy at a mansion in Kolkata. It is here where he meets Prabhart's beautiful daughter Meenakshi and ... Written by Teri Maa
Chup Chup Ke is a terrible combination of comedy and drama, definitely the two worst genres to mix. From experience, we can attest that Priyadarshan is an expert in comedy and definitely not in drama/romance (with the exception of Virasat). The opening scenes in the film are a turn-off to an audience expecting comedy as it involves a hurt family and Shahid's unsuccessful attempt at suicide, etc. If there's anything that keeps you in your seats its Rajpal Yadav along with Paresh Rawal. The two are comic geniuses and are the saving grace of this film. Kareena comes in much later in the film and has a small, but obviously very important role. Shahid and Kareena give good performances. Neha Dhupia was a bit disappointing. After some comedy, the movie once again shifts gears to a serious mood, and by that time the movie becomes a drag. Songs are lame except for "Dil Vich."
