Total Siyapaa (Total Chaos) is about a series of unfortunate events that befall a good-hearted but helpless Pakistani boy while visiting his girlfriend's parents, leading to some of the funniest, chaotic and outrageous situations.

Critical Reception

Trailer was well received by critics by writing that "the trailer gives stomach pain (in a positive way) and your eyes will burst into water because of the belly laughter nature of the movie. We have to appreciate the director Eshvar Niwas for his courage to handle the ‘easily can burn the fingers’ story theme. He passed the acid test perfectly in the trailer. Ali Zafar is the hero of the film, lyricist, music director of the film and looks excellent in the trailer. One thing we have to appreciate is that there are no vulgar double meaning words in the name of comedy. Actress Yami Gautam is thrilled with the response that the trailer of the film is getting online. She says it's the biggest encouragement for her.

Movie received good critical reception declaring it an audacious comedy that dares to poke fun at a border issue, the film is stylised and is attentively staged.Kaushal Chakravarty says "Total Siyapaa is ultimate comedy and fresh perspective of India-Pakistan love." Subhash K Jha, Indo-Asian News Service said that "The cast does well with Ali, Kirron and Sara leading the pack."

Box office Reception

The collections of Queen and Total Siyapaa were very similar at multiplexes with Total Siyapaa leading at some multiplexes and Queen leading at others and also a similar release for both films.

Soundtrack

The album is sung and composed by Ali Zafar who is also the main lead of the movie. Music was released on 14 February 2014 and was very well received by Critics. Karthik writes "The title song Total Siyaapa along with the quirky lyrics, dialogues and sounds, is good fun. Ali Zafar fares really well in Palat Meri jaan, singing, writing and composing the lovely ballad. Palat Meri Jaan is a Chart buster. Nahi maloom has a captivating Middle-Eastern + Latino blend sound and is sung particularly well by Ali and Fariha Parvaiz. The composer-singer uses a reggae template in Asha and delivers a nice, winsome song. Chal buleya is sufi song with a message. Barring that minor misstep, charming soundtrack overall, with Ali offering a good demonstration of his multi-facetedness.
