Incidents that influence a common man in a metropolitan area are slowly making their way on the Hindi screen. In Hulla, it's a whistle that blows things out of proportion. Who would've thought of making a movie on an eerie subject? But new concepts are always welcome.

Debutante director Jaideep Varma picks up a tale you can identify with, especially by those living in Mumbai. And the humour injected in the story makes you break into uncontrollable laughter at times. But Jaideep Varma, the director is disappointment by Jaideep Varma, the writer.

Raj Puri (Sushant Singh), a broker and his marketing executive wife Abha (Kartika Devi Rane) move into their new home in Malad. Abha gets busy decorating the house according to Feng Shui as Raj excels at his job. Things are well until Raj is disturbed at night by the whistle blowing watchman Matthew (Chandrachoor Karnik). He appeals to Janardhan (Rajat Kapoor), the secretary of the building who insists it is necessary for the safety of the building. It seems he is making a mountain of a molehill because nobody else is bothered by the noise. He argues with secretary, bribes the watchman and even complaints to the police, but all his plans fail. Irritated by the lack of sleep, he becomes obsessed with fighting against the whistle blowing and suffers major losses, personally and professionally.
Hulla is a laugh out noisy comedy in the first half. It is very realistic and the humour is situational. Sure, the simplicity of the plot had a Hrishikesh Mukherjee feel to it, and so does the style of telling. But Hulla misses out big time on keeping me busy.
Both Sushant and Rajat enact their parts credibly. It helps when you cast such capable actors. Kartikadevi Rane is proficient. Mandeep Mazumdar is wonderful. Vrajesh Hirjee is natural. Darshan Jariwala throws that cold look most realistically. The actor enacting the role of the security guard is outstanding.

On the whole, Hulla has an entertaining first hour, but is comedown by a loose second half. At the box-office, it caters to select multiplexes of select cities only. However, for the producers, it's a money-spinning project since the shoe-string budget and the recovery from theatrical and non-theatrical avenues should ensure neat profits.
Overall, It is an average film.
