Some Time adaptation are far better than the Originals and Chocolate proves that, but the problem is that this Film is far away from the IQ level of most of the Indian Film Lovers.About Story: This is not the easy film. You can't miss a single shot, even the worst song "mummy ko nahi hai pata". You have to connect the story chain of Irfan Khan. You have to use your mind, you have to try to find the main suspect. I am 101% sure, If you don't know anything about the the Film, you will not find the "main suspect" at any point during watching it. Even those who are saying, this is the dubbed/copy/stolen version of "The Usual Suspects" can't find the "main suspect". When I was watching "The Usual Suspects" before 15 minutes from the End, I tell the name of "main suspect" & he was,but in Chocolate you can't.Acting: Acting is the Plus point of this movie. No need to tell about Anil Kappor, Arshad Warsi & Irfan Khan's Acting, we all know they are the Ring Masters of Acting. Sunil Shetty in a New Avtar. Imran & Tanushee did a fantastic Job.Music: Refreshing music by Pritam & plus point the "Anthem" of the film.A Perfect Film for Perfect Audience.

FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. Can the Bollywood directors please be original? As soon as I saw the boat explode in the first two minutes of the movie, I new it was a direct copy of The Usual Suspects. About an hour into the movie, I fast-forwarded to the end so that I could see if I was right. I stopped when I saw Keyser Soze..., ...I mean Murturza Arzai..., ...I mean Keyser Soze killing his family and then the kidnappers. I don't even think Agnihotri bothered to shoot his own scene there, it looks like he just cut it out of Singer's film and then put in to Chocolate (which would be more aptly named "Steaming, heaping pile of Hindi movie crap that I wouldn't pee on to put out a fire." I wish there were something lower than 1 on this voting jams, because it deserves a -100. I give this movie an F-.

Pure trash. That about sums it up. Essentially, this is "The Usual Suspects" done by Bollywood while trying to do a half-baked Tarantino dialogue. This could have been a decent re-make, but the stories do not gel, the acting is horrible, the songs make you vomit ("I am a shot of tequila, but don't tell my mommy"--what class) and the dialogue is some of the most ridiculous to come out of Bollywood. Should be called "Boom Part 2". The problem here is one that Bollywood makes time and time again: try to copy the new western films while trying to put Indian elements in it. Another problem is you try to show that Western ideas only equate to Taliban and and sex, and that does not make a film. Bollywood should stick to the old formula of film naiveté (a la the 70's and late 80's films) and not try to be the next Rodriguez/Tarantino/Singer.

Please turn off the logical/critical part of your brain and you'll be ready to enjoy the movie. Compared to usual Bollywood standards, this is a slick flick with respect to editing, cinematography, sound, etc.Of course, the "Usual Suspects" story has been adapted to suit current events with plenty of vague references to Al Qaeda thrown in, but don't watch the movie for the story. Watch it to while away a lazy Sunday afternoon, when you can't go out, and don't feel like reading a book.Irfaan Khan should have been cast as Rocker. Sunil Shetty didn't look scary enough. Arshad Warsi did much better than his past roles. Tanushree Dutta is certainly one to look out for. A few more acting classes might help. Lastly, Sushma Reddy's role as an almost caricature-ish sidekick to Krishna Pandit didn't do justice to her talents. She will certainly do better to pick meatier roles.
