Magandang pelikula!

Total Siyapaa- 2014 Director: Eeshwar Nivas Total Siyapaa' is funny, but only in bits! It has some hilarious moments, but they are limited only till its first-hour. The songs were good and there was a good amount of humor. There is not 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. To be honesty I'm a huge fan of Ali Zafar but I was astonished to see the movie that what on Earth made him do this film. No proper plot and story, poor direction. Not recommended.

Ali Zafar as Aman, the male lead of the movie is cute as a Pakistani boy friend who is in London to meet his Punjabi girl friend Asha's (Yami Gautam) family to seek their permission for the marriage. When the movie begins, it does give a feeling that movie is going to be a laughter riot but somewhere it gets stretched. Siyapaa (Chaos) begins the moment Aman comes out of the airport. Siyapaa only increases as Aman reaches Asha's family and the family discovers that he is Pakistani. A series of events follow one after another. Kirron Kher as Asha's mother is loud, expressive and very vocal. Her anxiety as a mother is believable. Grandfather (Vishwa Badola) does give some funny shots when he keeps moving around the house. Anupam Kher as Asha's father is having an extended cameo role in the movie, I wish his role could have been redefined with more funny moments. An actor of such a great caliber and comic timings seemed underutilized. Asha's sister Jia (Sara) is good in her carefree attitude. The dance sequence by Jia and Aman on table-top is captivating and full of energy. The Anti-Pakistani brother of Asha (Anuj Pandit) is natural in his performance. Director E Niwas along with Neeraj Pandey (Story / Screenplay) have sensitively handled India Vs. Pakistan issue in a very light-hearted manner. A scene is to be mentioned where a coin is flipped to decide who will beat up an Englishman first – the Indians or Pakistanis, one doesn't get to see the coin; the coin is tossed and it is in the air and the very next moment Englishman is beaten up. Music by Ali Zafar is good. Palat Meri Jaan has been appreciated. Chal buleya, a sufi song is also very melodious. Total Siyapaa is fun to watch - with Ali Zafar amidst 'Total Chaos'.

Total Siyapaa is Total wastage of time, a torture to watch because it was so boring and slow moving. It has been a Massive disappointment. The only face saving is the last song at credits. Ali Zafar's 'Tere bin Laden' was funny and well executed. Total Siyapaa on the other hand is not. It is sad because it could have been a good movie, however, I constantly had the feeling of a movie made with no real effort put in to it, poor direction, overacting and bad dialog with even worse delivery. Rest of the family felt the same also. Save yourself, watch something else.

Despite the giddy pace, it soon becomes clear that there's not enough of a story here, merely a string of gags. The thin plot is stretched out until it collapses under the weight of its contrivances, squandering a good cast, particularly Kirron Kher as the shrill Mummyji. Such a shame that the film's central conflict evaporates conveniently and unconvincingly in a hurried, all-too-neat finale. Funny, but in a pedestrian sort of way. While the promos of the film prepare you for a laugh-riot, what unfurls on screen doesn't keep you in splits through and through. Initially, yes, the humor works, especially when Ali meets his prospective mother-in-law Kirron Kher, but thereafter, a few sporadic instances apart, several episodes fall flat. On the whole, TOTAL SIYAPAA appeals in bits and spurts. You expect a laugh-riot, but what comes across on screen is half-baked.

the only thing that kept me awake was cute actress . The plot is little for the hours devoted in showcasing it . some scenes are awkward to watch with family. Yami gautam looks wonderful in all scenes . Characters behave exaggeratedly . no laughing moment other than those shown in its advertisement . nothing seems logical . emotions do not explain the outcome . Some TV serials are far more interesting than this , at least they end sooner. the turn of events is unexplained . Movie is low budget as things happen inside closed spaces .Some scenes are interesting but their presentation does not bring out the inner sarcasm .

'Total Siyapaa' is funny, but only in bits! It has some hilarious moments, but they are limited only till its first-hour. A weak second-hour plays a spoilsport. 'Total Siyapaa' Synopsis: Settled in London, Aman hopes to marry Asha, an Indian woman also based in London. He visits her parents' house to seek their permission to marry her. However, his plans to impress the family start failing when they discover that he is a Pakistani. 'Total Siyapaa' begins superbly & the first-hour has some genuinely hilarious moments. The Hindu-Pakistani conflict works hugely. However, things go down in its second-hour. The pace drops & even the humor is clearly missing in this hour. In short, a winning first-hour gets effected due a to weak second. Neeraj Pandey's Screenplay gets it right in the first-hour, but lacks merits in the second-hour. E. Nivas's Direction is fair. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are decent. Performance-Wise: Ali Zafar is likable. He enacts the caught-up protagonist nicely. Yami Gautam is charming. Kiron Kher is simply awesome. She emerges the real scene-stealer here! Sara Khan is credible. Anupam Kher is wasted. On the whole, 'Total Siyapaa' works, but only in till a point.

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.

Ali zafar acting is the strongest point. Pandey derives inspiration from a Spanish film Seres Queridos, in which the conflict between the Palestinian boy and his girlfriend's Jewish family was served in a feisty feast of farcical episodes, all meant to draw humour from the dysfunctional family's dysfunction.In the Hindi adaptation, the Pakistani boy is utterly and delectably lost in his girlfriend's Punjabi home in London.Director Eeshwar Niwas, who had earlier adapted the ransom caper "Ruthless People" in a reasonably watchable film Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, uses London's night scape as a beguiling backdrop to the Punjabi family's bickering. Ironically, the plot loses its liberal air once out on the streets.Anupam Kher's tryst with a British hooker is sadly unanchored.It's one evening in the family's history. The script brings out the eccentric characters and their whimsical ways with the kind of pleasure that a housewife experiences while serving up her husband's favourite dishes although she may not be too good at the cooking.A lot of the humour simply sags in soggy lumps. There is a distinctly 'European' flavour and fervour to the unravelling of the comic mode in the dysfunctional family's life.
