Times of India

Indian cinema has rarely ventured into the silent space in modern times, making Ufff Yeh Siyapaa an intriguing proposition. Directed by G. Ashok and produced by Luv Ranjan, the film takes the daring route of eliminating dialogue altogether, relying solely on visual comedy, expressive performances, and evocative background score. The result is a quirky, sometimes uneven, but largely enjoyable comedy of errors.
The story revolves around Kesari Lal Singh (Sohum Shah), whose domestic life spirals out of control when his wife Pushpa (Nushrratt Bharuccha) suspects an affair with their glamorous neighbour Kamini (Nora Fatehi). Matters take a darker, though still comical, turn when a drug parcel is mistakenly delivered to his house, triggering misunderstandings, police intervention, and escalating chaos. Inspector Hasmukh (Omkar Kapoor) enters the mix with his own baggage, ensuring that Kesari’s world tilts further into pandemonium.
What sets Ufff Yeh Siyapaa apart is not merely its lack of dialogue but the confidence with which it leans into physical comedy, expressive performances, and situational gags. G. Ashok stages moments that oscillate between theatrical exaggeration and cinematic finesse, blending slapstick humour with undercurrents of suspense. While the narrative does lose steam at times — with a few stretches that test patience — the chaos usually regains pace through fresh bursts of confusion and comic misadventures. The experiment is not flawless; occasional indulgence and overstretched dream sequences dilute its impact. With a tighter runtime and more taut editing, the film could have transcended its inventive premise into something truly remarkable. Still, its audacity and ambition make it worthy of appreciation.
Performances are crucial in a dialogue-free film, and the cast rises to the challenge. Sohum Shah, best known for the haunting Tumbbad, showcases surprising versatility. As Kesari, he abandons intensity for buffoonery, executing physical gags and exaggerated reactions with flair. Nushrratt Bharuccha lends Pushpa both vulnerability and comic bite, particularly in scenes of marital suspicion. Nora Fatehi, often slotted into item numbers, uses her screen presence effectively, ensuring Kamini doesn’t feel like a token character. Omkar Kapoor adds an amusing layer as the nosy inspector, while Sharib Hashmi brings understated humour.
The film’s strongest asset, however, is its music. A.R. Rahman’s score is practically a character in itself, guiding viewers through tonal shifts — light-hearted mischief, looming dread, and outright farce. In the absence of words, Rahman’s compositions amplify every beat, ensuring the silence never feels empty.
In the end, Ufff Yeh Siyapaa is a refreshing palate cleanser in an industry often overstuffed with formula. It may not be groundbreaking, but it entertains, surprises, and leaves you smiling at its sheer audacity.
