Cinematic comedy can be considered as one of the oldest film genres in Bollywood. Comedy films are "make 'em laugh films" designed to elicit laughter from the audience. Ace film maker Priyadarshan who has directed hilarious flicks like HERA PHERI, HULCHUL and MALAMAAL WEEKLY in the past is all geared up for his forth coming film CHUP CHUP KE which is slated for a 9th June release. It is produced by UTV and has an ensemble cast comprising of actors Shahid Kapur, Kareena Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Sushma Reddy, Rajpal Yadav and Paresh Rawal. A romantic comedy of errors and mistaken identities, with foot-tapping music by Himesh Reshamiya seemingly assures you of an amazing laugh riot and complete family entertainment.

Jeetu (Shahid Kapoor), a small town hustler, is constantly in debt and dodging creditors. His father, a retired schoolteacher and fiancée are made to suffer the consequences of his financial instability. He is constantly being told off and being forced to kill himself in shame.

So Jeetu decides to fake his death so that his family gets to claim his life insurance to pay off erstwhile debts.



Two bumbling fishermen, played by Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav, find Jeetu entangled in fishing nets and take him with them. They owe money to a businessman, Prabhat Singh Chauhan (Om Puri) and mistaking him to be a millionaire, hatch a scheme to give Jeetu's services to Chauhan in exchange for the money they owe.

Sensing that he may reveal too much, Jeetu plays safe and pretends to be a deaf-mute and plays along with them. Complications ensue when Chauhan's niece, Shruti (Kareena Kapoor) also turns out to be deaf-mute. Jeetu's secret is revealed one night when Shruti and her cousin, Meenakshi (Neha Dhupia) find him in a state of high inebriation.

The unexpected complications, surprises, laughter and twists that follow, constitute the crux of CHUP CHUP KE, the year's keenly awaited musical comedy; a must-watch for every family member!
