Ok. So from its promos its pretty clear that Delhi Belly is an expletive-ridden 440-volt jhatka film. But you don’t really expect a film of this kind coming from a production house which has made a name by its tear-jerk, lump in the throat kind of films like Taare Zameen Par. But after watching Delhi Belly you are pretty sure that none other production house in this country would dare take such a step.Delhi Belly is not outrageous just for the fun of it. The truth is, Delhi Belly has an excellent story to tell and the cuss words and outrageous moments are integral to the plotline and have been integrated seamlessly in the film.
IT IS Bollywood's most daring, outrageous & raunchy film to date and the content, has never been witnessed on the Hindi screen before.
Coming from the same genre as The Hangover, Snatch and Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Delhi Belly is the best cultural shock for Indian audiences. It is a boisterous, potty-mouthed film featuring the antics of three helpless young men.
Delhi Belly counters the stereotype uses a brand new recipe of film-making. The writing is tight and the movie moves from one incident to another at a furious pace. There's no film quite like this one, there is no film that matches the sheer brilliance of Delhi Belly.
Tashi [Imran Khan], Arup [Vir Das] and Nitin [Kunal Roy Kapur], are buddies in crime. Tashi is about to get married to the glam-doll Sonia [Shenaz Treasurywallah]. Arun has recently been dumped by his girlfriend(hende the song Jaa Chudail) and also has an annoying boss. And Nitin is about to discover that eating the delicious Tandoori Chicken at a street vendor is going to give him the worst case of Delhi Belly he's ever known!
Director Abhinay Deo and writer Akshat Varma are seemingly inspired by the adult comedies of the west, but Delhi Belly remains an Indian film at heart. The characters are straight out of the streets of Delhi and the humour, equally desi. As a matter of fact, there are scenes and dialogues that the desis would take to instantly -- it's inherently Indian.
On the flip side, a film like Delhi Belly may not be enjoyed by everyone. It's not for, what we label in filmi bhasha, 'family audiences'. In fact, it will be extremely embarrassing to watch a film like Delhi Belly with family thanks to the wholesome usage of cuss words and toilet humour.
On the whole, Delhi Belly is a path-breaking and novel comic caper targeted at the youth. People who can't take brazen and unabashed language might reject it; in fact, it's not for the moralists. It's for those who have a strong belly, with an appetite for adult comedy and cuss words.
Our Rating: 4.5/5
