The movie has everything in it, completely mass loaded, Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance, and it's a multistarrer too.
The movie will take you through a complete family drama and Family adventures. You'll enjoy and mix in this mix-up pretty well. All the characters are wonderful. The best is Arshad Warsi! One of the best comic characters we have. Kareena Kapoor is amazing, only her hair color makes her a little ugly.
Go for this one. Thumbs up!

This movie was a good one and I found it hilarious.

I thought this movie was an okay one because of the storyline. I give the acting a 6 and a half out of ten. I give the storyline a 9/10 and I give the songs a 6/10. Kareena Kapoor pretends that she is in love with Akshaye Khanna but then she really falls in love with him. Circamstances have different plans for them. Akshaye Khanna's dad Amrish Puri and Kareena Kapoor's grandma or mum hate each other but at the end their families get together and Akshaye Khanna and Kareena Kapoor get married. I liked the bit when everyone is running to get the necklace and when Akshay Khanna pretends to be the groom when Kareena Kapoor's grandma/mum finds out.
A Great Entertainer

Priyadarshan's Hulchul is a great entertainer. Like his earlier film Hungama, this one will also have you in splits. There are a lot of great actors in the film. Starting with Akshay Khanna, Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Amrish Puri, Arshad Warsi and many more.
Arshad Warsi is hilarious, he picks up where he left off in Munna Bhai MBBS. His character is well etched and has you laughing every time he's on the screen. Paresh Rawal is great as usual.
Akshaye Kumar and Kareena Kapoor have great on screen chemistry its clearly visible in the song "Rafta Rafta". They fit their roles like a glove. Jackie Shroff and Suniel Shetty are good as usual.
Sadly, this is one of Amrish Puri's last performances, but he does a great job. He will be sorely missed and remembered forever!

An above average comedy that can be watched if you have got some spare time

Priyadarshan succeeds when he chooses to portray a meaningless theme on screen. Fights between two families of the boy and girl with all the ridiculous theories is commonplace over trivial issues and in the end their love lords over the enmity. What makes you laugh your heart out is superb acting by Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, and Aksay Khanna who has finally come of age and the complete meaninglessness of the plot that leaves you stunned that whether a more meaningless plot can ever be carved out. Anyway a good light movie that should surely be watched at least once but not more than that.
The gahamagahmi scenes which created such a classic out of Hera-Pheri once again makes a comeback towards the end with a foolish marriage ceremony culminating with hero succeeding in putting the Varmala in its proper place.

Arshad, Paresh and Akshay made it a laugh riot
cseabhi17 March 2020
The movie is hilarious and so well made. Priyadarshan is master in making a family comedy like this one. Akshaye Khanna and Kareena kapoor looks good together but its not about them in the movie. The real strong point of the movie in my view are three main characters, Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal and Arshad Warsi. All of them have given a great performance.
From scene one, till last, this movie is a laugh riot. The movie is an adaptation of the 1991 hit Malayalam movie Godfather, then also Priydarshan has crafted a real gem here. All the characters are so written. Be it Arshad, Akshaye, Paresh or Sunil Shetty, Jackie Shroff and Arbaaz Khan. A special mention for the ever awesome Amrish Puri, as I suppose this was his last movie as an actor. He is amazing and so nautral in every scene.
Supporting cast have done a great job. Music is good and some of the songs are really well made. Overall a good family entertainer.

An adaptation of the 1991 Malayalam film Godfather, Priyadarshan's 'Hulchul' is a thoroughly entertaining film, that also packs in several terrific performances from it's mammoth cast. It's loud, yet a joyride!
'Hulchul' Synopsis: A man and woman from feuding families each pretend to fall in love, as part of a revenge plot. Chaos ensues when their fake romance becomes a reality.
Neeraj Vora's Screenplay, which focuses on two rival families, is throughly enjoyable, what if it is high pitch. And the dialogue, are superb. The first-hour is absolutely hilarious, while the Second-Hour gets serious & slightly intense. Priyadarshan's Direction is good. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are passable. Music by Vidyasagar, is decent.
Performance-Wise: Akshaye Khanna is fabulous, as always. Kareena is highly energetic. Paresh Rawal & Arshad Warsi are hilarious! Jackie Shroff is excellent, as ever. Suniel Shetty is extremely likable in a strong supporting role. Arbaaz Khan is adequate. Amrish Puri is great. Laxmi plays the vamp, most convincingly. Manoj Joshi & Shakti Kapoor are terrific. Asrani, Farah Naaz, Akhilendra Mishra & Deep Dhillon lend good support.
On the whole, 'Hulchul' is high-voltage entertainment.

I had Fun watchin this movie...
raj_manootra19 December 2004
A story of 2 estranged families.Hulchul has the premier family of a small town headed by fiery Angarchand, an influential landlord pittet against the family headed by Laksmidevi, a rich landlady of the neighbouring village.Angaarchand and his family of four sons (Jackie shroff Paresh Rawal Akshay Khanna and Arbaaz khan) have taken a vow to stay away from woman owing to a past family tragedy, and there mention of opposite sex is strictly forbidden. At the same time Lakshmidevi is waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge on Angaarchand and his Family. As luck would have it , Angaarchand youngest Son Jay, and Lakshmidevi grand-daughter Anjali fall in love.In the greatest con of romantic Cinema to-date what follows in a comedy error of deceit of rather a naughty kind between the leads with their families in tow trying to be one up on the other.Its really worth spending money on this movie if You like Comedy Family Romance, this is the movie to watch!
Quite a Entertainer
kishankini16 March 2020
Hulchul is a one-time watch movie. The film though entertaining, has comedy scenes in parts. Arshad Warsi steals the comedy part. Hence, the rest of the cast work well in the given material. Kareena looks beautiful and Akshay Khanna did a decent good job. There are too many talented actors in the film, hence not all get enough chance to deliver the same. Like any Priyadarshan movie, the climax is overdramatic but is bearable. This movie may not make you laugh holding your stomach but is a decent watch, if you haven't.
Entertaining
saimaq-278682 October 2021
I watched this movie with a friend and we both loved it this movie has mixture between funny and serious and it pulls that off beautifully I loved everyone's acting but for me Arshad warsi and paresh Rawal we're the funniest .
Nothing in comparison to Hungama
AishFan16 February 2005
Hulchul doesn't even stand a chance of being almost as funny as the best comedy I have ever seen, Hungama. Hulchul, once again, reverts to the same old Bollywood formula film with the same plot. Advertised as a comedy, there is so much pointless maar-dhaar and melodrama. Songs aren't that great either. Akshaye and Kareena gave good performances. Priyadarshan is totally unpredictable. Sometimes he'll give a Hera Pheri or Hungama, and sometimes he'll give a Hulchul or a Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar. Before ending this review, though, there is one scene that is stomach-hurting hilarious in this movie. I'll just say one word--cow. If nothing else, watch that scene. It'll definitely tickle your funny bone.
If you liked Hera Pheri...
Blue_V18 December 2004
Then you would love this movie. Arshad Warshi is so funny, the highlight of the movie.
The movie starts off okay, its setting the plot. Here's whats happening, actually the whole plot is very superfluous. But then you would never really care. Wait for Arshad to kick in. The movie sort of slacks off a bit in the end.
Acting is good except 'Julie' aunt does not impress. And a series of songs that will bore you. Bad songs and not needed. I wouldn't care about it.
Its just a laugh your socks off movie. The dialogs are snappy and very hilarious.
You will come out with a good deal of laughs.
I rate it 8/10.

Remade from Malayalam Hit
mervkv6 January 2005
Hulchul continues Malayalee director Priyadarshan's habit of remaking Malayalam hit movies into Bollywood box office success. Hulchul is a remake of the Siddique-Lal-directed "God Father" (1991), in which two kids from rival families fall in love. Their romance is complicated by the fact that the guy's patriarch and the girl's matriarch bitterly hate each other. The story is somewhat inspired by Romeo and Juliet, except that it's a comedy.
("Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega..." (2000), which was not directed by Priyadarshan, was a remake of Priyadarshan's Malayalam superhit "Chandralekha" (1997).)
"Hera Pheri" (2000), touted as one of the biggest Bollywood comedies of the past decade, was Priyadarshan's remake of Siddique's first big Malayalam hit, "Ramji Rao Speaking" (1989).
It would be nice if Priyadarshan could bring something original to the Bollywood screen, rather than remakes.

A terrible plot, terrible dialog's, and a terrible movie
msmys21 December 2004
I watched the movie, and was dismayed to say the least that the movie failed to communicate with me as an audience. The language would put to shame the street loafers.
The plot; a father forcing none of his son to marry, seems far-fetched.
The idea of a grandmother asking her grand kid to mess up with an enemy would only draw feeble minded's attention.
...and I was waiting the whole movie for a laugh, and laugh I did on my stupidity to waste 3 hours to convince myself that the movie is not even worth a first look.
Hope it saves YOUR time!

Outstanding Comedy
nirbhaykori26 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The comedy in the movie is on other level. I even laughed high in fighting scenes. The story build-up is good. All the cast and their acting is also good. The fighting between two different houses turns into action and I just don't know how but the director is too OP he turn the action in to comedy on a other level. You can watch the movie with full family. No sexual scenes are there. Just pure drama and God level comedy. Every single charector is op in his own way. And the acting of the legend sir Amrish Puri is damn good as a father. And the story of their child's love is the whole story that the movie holds.
BETTER WATCH "GODFATHER" 1991
WorldMovie9930 September 2020
It's a remake of malayali movie Godfather released in 1991. The original is a classic comedy. But Hulchul is not upto that mark. The plots are exactly same with a minor differences, and also with the casts. The movie is unnecessarily noisy, but the casting is done decent though. It is just the Bollywood version of the South film. The south Godfather is a classic in comedy, with innovative storyline and well made funny themes. Hulchul is noisier, but a bit perfected in set ups like costumes and performances.
Is it necessary to throw a neutral dialog by shouting? The noise shadows the depth of the movie. And this is it apart from songs. The remake is not bad but not upto the quality of the original. It is better to watch the original.
I give it a 3/10 for only 30% of the movie is enjoyable due to noise.
