Plot
In this uniquely wordless comedy of errors, Kesari Lal Singh (Sohum Shah), a sheepish common man, finds himself entangled in a spiralling mess when his wife, Pushpa (Nushratt Bharuccha), leaves him - convinced he's been flirting with their neighbour, Kamini (Nora Fatehi). He hasn't. But before he can clear his name, a wrongly delivered drug parcel sets off a chain of escalating disasters, the worst of which is a dead body turning up in his home. As Kesari scrambles to fix the situation, another corpse appears - turning his house into a full-blown crime scene. To make matters worse, Police Inspector Hasmukh (Omkar Kapoor) arrives with a personal agenda, only adding to the madness. What follows is a wildly absurd, darkly comic chain of events —unfolding without a single spoken word. [5] [6] [7]
Reception
Archika Khurana of The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Ufff Yeh Siyapaa is a fun ride — imperfect but inventive, proving silence can indeed be golden in comedy." [9] Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India observed that "It’s hard to imagine a more misguided Hindi movie idea than that of a 116-minute comedy without any dialogue." [10] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated it 0 stars out of 5 writes in her review that "What happened to Sohum Shah, the actor who left such an impact in The Ship Of Theseus and played the lead so assuredly in Tumbaad? Here his character, who gets major screen time, is just plain embarrassing." [11]
BH Harsh of Cinema Express gave it 2 stars out of 5 and wrote that "Nushrratt Bharrucha is the only saving grace of this farcical comedy that is all over the place." [12] Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave it 2 stars out of 5 and writes that "Silent it may aim to be, but Ufff Yeh Siyapaa is as headache-inducing as an out-of-tune brass band. [13] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in observed that "Ufff this movie, whose lack of dialogue is its only distinguishing element. G Ashok’s Ufff Yeh Siyapaa has little reason to exist beyond its gimmick." [14]
Devesh Sharma of Filmfare rated it 2.5/5 stars and wrote that "Yet, for all its flaws, Ufff Yeh Siyapaa must be acknowledged for breaking out of formula and attempting the unthinkable in today’s Bollywood landscape. It may be drivel in parts, but it is also a reminder that experimentation, however messy, is still possible." [15]
