"Chocolate" (Language - Hindi) (2005) - Movies Not To Watch

With the slick look of wall papers and posters of the Movie, one can definitely take a guess that it is perfect remake of a Hollywood Movie. Bingo !!!! It is a frame by frame copy of “The Usual Suspects”. Its quite a surprise that it took so many years to copy that. Well, audience are looking out for more different stories now a days and hence director Vivek Agnihotri need to come different.

The good things about the Movie is that the story from “The Usual Suspects”. That’s it !!!!! The editing is pretty bad. Some of the scenes are unexplained. Casting has been done well except for the heroine (for the hunger of Desi Janta). Pick of a lot in acting would be Arshad Warsi. He did his part cool and composed. Others try to act but they need to try more. Pretty sad to see Anil Kapoor giving such a mediocre performance.

The bad things (Lot) about the movie are, jumbled pieces of scenes, unexplained behaviors of the characters, horrible back ground score, etc. Director solely depended on the original. Picked up some decent faces, showed them the DVD of the Hollywood original and asked them to act in Desi style.

The good part seeing the movie is that to feel happy because to see the Indian audience improve. Its high time for the film industry to give movies what Hollywood gave and is giving. People who did not watch “The Usual Suspects”, go watch “ Chocolate” and also see the original to realize how well made it was. People who already watched the original, wait for the “Chocolate” DVD. Rent it and watch it at home. Why ??!!!!! It would be Fun to comment the movie. It would turn out to be a pretty good comedy movie.
