Total Siyapaa (2014)

Total Siyapaa (English translation: Total Chaos) is a 2014 Indian romantic comedy film directed by E. Nivas, written by Neeraj Pandey The screenplay is based on a Spanish-Argentine movie titled Only Human (2004 film) (Spanish title: Seres queridos), written and directed by Dominic Harari and Teresa Pelegri. The titular characters in the original movie were Israeli and Palestinian while in Total Siyapaa they are Indian and Pakistani. The film was distributed by Reliance Big Entertainment across 850 theatres in India with two other films: Gulaab Gang and Queen. The film opened on a similar note with Queen in multiplexes offering stiff competition to each other owing to a similar release count.

The film stars Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam in lead roles with Anupam Kher and Kiron Kher in supporting roles—who appeared for the first time as an on-screen couple. The first look of the film along with that of Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty was launched on the Zee Cine Awards.

Gada-owned Pen India acquired the rights of the film from Reliance Entertainment while & Pictures acquired 50 per cent equity of the satellite rights. Reliance and Zee Network own the film's overseas and promotional rights respectively. Consequently, Reliance and Gada decided to postpone the release date to 7 March 2014 from 30 January 2014 to promote the film. Upon release, Total Siyapaa received generally negative reviews from critics, and went on to become a huge box office flop.
