Total Siyapaa (2014)

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

well i had high hopes with this move i just love Ali zafar and yami and was expecting this movie to be super doooper hit, me n my four other mates went to watch this movie it start well like first 10 minutes n then we were trying to find out any funny scene to laugh there were few scenes but they weren't enough to make this movie watchable and the topic was just too good a thing between Pakistan and India and there could had been many many things that could had made this movie special but sorry to say Ali, yaami n anupam kher all good actors but there talent was wasted in this movie. ANUPAM KHER didn't said a single word in this movie?

A Wednesday was a classic. Directed by Neeraj Pandey, who's not know for being prolific (the way RGV is, who can be excused his misdemeanors due to the qty?).Special 26, his follow-up, that took quite a few years to follow up, was a lesser work, but in comparison to most of the trash dished out by Bollywood, it was pretty decent.He's now put his name to a remake of a famous 2004 Spanish movie, that reads like a run-of-the-mill work on paper, but isn't it all in the treatment? I thought so, and bought tickets for 2 of us to watch it, missed it the first time, and ended up watching it recently, in a small screen multiplex.Not to put too fine a point on it, but it has to be one of the most appallingly bad movies I've watched in a long time. And that's including the pointless 'Gunday', 'GI Joe 2' and many more that litter this hall of fame. Reminded me a lot of another Indie that shoulda coulda been good, that came out a few years back - Buddha Mil gaya. This doesn't quite plumb those depths, but they sure tried to make it do so. Can't lay much of the blame on the acting though, since most of them are seasoned performers. I do question their choices, however, esp. both the Kher spouses'. The only thing it has going for it is a spunky performance of Sara Khan, and boy I wish it were enough. But the crapfest around her just reminds us that this ain't good even for an obscure TV run. Sadly though, with every pencil-pusher thinking he/she's a reviewer, and mandating 'taste' across the board, this is the kinda movie that surprises with its box-office, leading to a churn of others such as this at the multiplexes. Not for me, though, hopefully. 2014's first turkey. Watch at your own risk.

When I first caught the preview of this film "Total Siyappa", it seemed a fun and entertaining film, the concept was new, the songs were good and there was a good amount of humor and romance. But after spending or I should say wasting 1hour 45mins on this movie, I can't find a single reason to appreciate this movie, the script was idiotic, didn't expect that, since Neeraj Pandey was associated with this movie. The film has no story at all, some Scattered events sewed together, which were supposed to make sense, but they seldom do. The movie progresses very slowly and by the second Half it gets super boring and starts to fall apart. The acting was average, Ali Zafar tried but doesn't actually click, Yami Gautam was all smiles and nothing else, only Kiron Kher did something good in acting department rest were all were bland. In the second half Anupam Kher appears but I don't have a single clue What he was doing in the movie, it's rather annoying to see such a talented actor's potential not utilized.The movie also tried to tackle the India-Pakistan issue, but it all seemed pointless, at the conclusion, I would say it's a "total" waste of time and money.

I thought a film with a cast involving Yami(yummy) gautam, Anupam kher, Kirron Kher and Ali zafar would be a laugh riot. After watching the movie, I would like to ask the producers for my money back.Basic plot is Indian girl takes pakistani Boyfriend to meet her family. I wont divulge any more details as it will rob you of the little joy you will get when you watch this movie. At first I thought this was going to be funny like meet the parents but by the opening 15 minutes it becomes very clear that the director and producers have not taken any effort in ensuring that the cinema goers enjoy themselves.The only saving grace of this movie was that Yami gautam does a decent job with what she was given and so do Anupam kher and Kirron kher. Anupam kher's talent is hardly used in this movie. I am trying to find something positive to say but nothing comes to mind. The movie is filled with the same old clichéd characters like a loud mouth punjabi mother- in-law, a hateful brother-in-law, a seductive sister-in-law etc. There are hardly any funny moments. All we get are a couple of lame cricket jokes and a racist British cop. Establishing characters in a story that takes place in a span of a few hours or a day is not possible without sharp, insightful writing.This film was supposed to be a romantic comedy but where was all the Romance? and the less said about the comedy, the better. Did the director really think that the audience would believe that an NRI couple from London, kiss each other by placing a hand in between their lips? If anyone is able to record that kind of kiss in the real world, please be kind enough to e-mail it to me.The film makers did not take any kind of risk in the movie and steer clear from any sort of indo-pak politics or any other important topics. To be honest the movie turned out to be a total bore-fest. Even the songs were uninteresting and I would have fast forwarded if it was possible.When I walked out of the theater, I didn't have an inkling of an idea what the film makers were trying to create here. It could have been a fun and memorable movie if it had ended up in the right hands but it wasn't to be. I am giving it 2 stars out of 5 only because I cant bring myself to rate a movie having Anupam Kher in it any lower. Give this movie a wide berth.Cheers, Glenn Jimson
