Kapkapi Movie Review: Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor Shine With Their Impeccable Comic Timing

Some films are made to make you think, some to make you feel… and then there are those that exist purely to entertain. Kapkapi falls squarely into the last category — a film that doesn't demand logic or deep thought, but simply invites you to laugh, relax, and enjoy a spooky ride that’s more fun than fear.

The story revolves around six friends living together in a rented house. Their lives are aimless but full of lazy charm — unemployment, endless cups of tea, carrom games, and casual banter. One day, Manu (played by Shreyas Talpade) jokingly treats a carrom board as a Ouija board and decides to “summon a ghost” for fun. What begins as a joke takes a bizarre turn when an actual spirit named Anamika shows up — and nothing is ever the same again.

Enter Kabir (Tusshar Kapoor), a man just looking for a quiet place to stay, only to get hilariously entangled in this supernatural circus. What follows is a series of spooky yet comical events where the characters are scared, but the audience can’t stop laughing.

Shreyas Talpade shines with impeccable comic timing — his expressions and dialogue delivery steal every scene. Tusshar Kapoor brings back his vintage charm and perfectly complements the chaos. The supporting cast, including Siddhi Idnani, Sonia Rathee, and others, fit seamlessly into the madness, each adding their own flavor of humor to the mix.

The dialogues are witty and well-timed, and most importantly, the humor feels natural — not forced. The horror is light and playful, making it less about screaming in fear and more about chuckling through the chills. Even the ghost is more amusing than terrifying.

Director Sangeeth Sivan handles the film with a breezy touch. The story never drags, and the pace keeps you engaged. As his final film, Kapkapi serves as a fitting tribute to his unique knack for blending genres with heart and humor.

So if you’re looking for something light-hearted, fun, and stress-relieving this weekend — Kapkapi is your go-to film.

Leave your logic at home, grab some popcorn, and dive into the madness — laughter is guaranteed!
