Innumerable movies have been copied and perhaps "Chocolate" qualifies for the worst when it comes to adapting for Bollywood. For starters, the story line is loaded with complexity. Added to it are the sub-plots which are far too many and should have been trimmed down to aid the comprehension of the Bollywood audience. And the non-linear progression adds to the woes. There are too many unwarranted "sex" references (read that "force-fit"). Basing the London was a bad idea. Performance wise Anil Kapoor delivers a strong screen-presence. Next is Arshad Warsi. Tanushree Dutta attempts hard to display her "oomph". Emran Hashmi hardly leaves an impact. Sunil Shetty was extremely wooden. Irfan Khan is perhaps the worst considering the expectations that would arise when his name is associated with the project. Sushma Reddy is awful on both department, choice of costumes and acting. I was amused to the opening credits stating "Inspired Films" presents. I suppose "Plagiarised Films" would more more apt.

This is a really good thriller keeps you in suspense throughout the movie ending is shocking but the story could have had more if the ending were different this movie still has the type of stupidity but it is a genius there is good elements in this movie especially the character that Anil Kapoor is obsessed with finding won't reveal the character you just have to watch the movie but it is a great story with only Anil Kapoor and Irfan Khan delivering a good performance the rest are just cheesily hanging around Sunil Shetty is a lso pretty good perofrmance it's a good movie it just lacks some elements which makes it a weak candor but otherwise it's good suspenseful it's enjoyable songs suck but the movie is good the story althoug weakened by the ending

Before I begin lashing out against this movie, I want to clarify that I am not fully against "Indianized" remakes of Hollywood movies - if done nicely and with some common sense, they can turn out to be decent affairs.But Chocolate shamelessly treads the path of being a horrible movie that was blatantly taken piece by piece from a class act such as the Usual Suspects. Kaante had glimpses of other great Hollywood movies, but still had a "characer". Nothing here.At the end of the movie, I was left wondering - was the director just an extra-ordinary idiot or was it just the outrageous murder of a great movie that left me pulling my own hair and cursing out loud.Anil Kapoor - who is a brilliant actor, mind you - was totally wasted in the movie. Ditto for Irfan Khan - who has given some great performances in the past. Arshad Warsi is usually a delight to watch - but not here sirs! The only person for whom this piece of trash suits is Emran Hashmi - who was his terrible self in the movie.Simply avoid this at all costs - you will be doing yourself a big favor.

I wish Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects) would somehow see this movie!! I am sure he would pick up a chainsaw and chase the makers of this horrible excuse of a movie called "Chocolate" (ughhhh!!!)...The original plot of The Usual Suspects has been raped and converted into a really lame story, with some crappy dialogues, crappy acting, crappy songs..etc.!!! I am sure the people who came up with this tripe didn't even grasp the story of The Usual Suspects!!! Just so that it looks "cool" they have successfully carbon-copied some entire sequences and dialogues (translated into Hindi), but in the end the director appears confused and doesn't seem to understand the crap that he created!! I guess the makers of this movie were high when they made this..'cause they have managed to create a perfect piece of trash by mixing the story of The Usual Suspects with their own story!! (Pathetic!!) Vivek Agnihotri and the rest of the people involved with the making of this movie deserve to die!! Avoid at all costs...especially if you are a fan of "The Usual Suspects". I wish there was a law against plagiarism!!! My condolences, Bryan Singer... please take notice!!!
