Ufff Ye Siyapaa, directed by Ashok G, attempts to deliver a quirky, dialogue-less comedy set against a confined backdrop. With a story full of chaos, misadventures, and slapstick humor, the film aims to entertain. However, despite its bold experiment, the execution often falls flat, leaving audiences amused only intermittently.
The movie revolves around a series of intertwined events: a contraband parcel, a marital spat, a nosy laundryman, and a wannabe cop who overestimates himself. Kesari (Sohum Shah) spirals into absurd scenarios imagining police interference with a dead body, while his life and everyone around him descends into farcical chaos.
The screenplay relies heavily on physical comedy, slapstick, and over-the-top antics, aiming for a madcap style reminiscent of classics like Pushpaka Vimana, though it rarely hits the same mark.
Nushrratt Bharuccha â The saving grace of the film, she brings energy, charm, and timing to the chaotic proceedings, effortlessly syncing with the farcical rhythm.
Sohum Shah as Kesari â Overindulgent in his physical comedy, sometimes tipping into distasteful territory, yet emblematic of the filmâs broad humor.
Nora Fatehi â Features as the stereotypical âhot neighbour,â though her character suffers due to weak execution.
Supporting Cast â Dhanraj Koranani offers subtle comic relief in the third act, and Sadanand Patilâs dentist subplot is quirky, albeit for noveltyâs sake.
Ashok Gâs attempt at a dialogue-less, slapstick-heavy comedy is ambitious but inconsistent. The film is loud, excessive, and often confusing, with sub-par VFX and pacing issues that dilute the humor.
AR Rahmanâs music, though passionate and imaginative, struggles to compensate for the narrativeâs chaos. Only brief stretches, like Pushpaâs daydream-induced chaos montage, capture the intended farcical energy.
The film revels in madcap momentsâfrom flying currency notes to bizarre chase sequencesâbut the relentless quirkiness sacrifices storytelling clarity and emotional engagement.
While Ufff Ye Siyapaa is an admirable experiment, it is ultimately a misguided one. The filmâs frenetic energy, slapstick obsession, and lack of narrative control make it exhausting rather than entertaining. Nushrratt Bharuccha stands out as a beacon of fun, but even her performance cannot save the overly chaotic screenplay.
â Rating: 2/5
For audiences seeking thoughtful comedy or coherent storytelling, Ufff Ye Siyapaa may disappoint. Yet, it remains a bold, if flawed, attempt at pushing cinematic boundaries.
