Delhi Belly: Movie Review
Much before I watched Delhi Belly, I was told very categorically that the film will reduce to rubble the image of Aamir Khan, the producer, which he has very painstakingly and meticulously built over the years. I disagree with this viewpoint. Sure, Aamir Khan steps into a territory that is least expected of him. Agree, Delhi Belly is expletive-ridden, has several scandalous moments which give you a 440 volt ka jhatka and is just not for the faint-hearted. But Delhi Belly is not outrageous just for the sake of it. It doesn't shock for effect. The truth is, Delhi Belly has a novel story to tell and the cuss words/outrageous moments are integral to the plotline and have been juxtaposed seamlessly in the narrative.
Let me introduce you to Delhi Belly. It is Bollywood's most daring, cheeky, irreverent, blasphemous, raunchy youth film to date and the lurid content, I am certain, has never been witnessed on the Hindi screen before. Even some hugely popular reality shows that have the participants using the most appalling, colorful lingo to garner attention and TRPs, would pale into insignificance. Belonging to the same genre as The Hangover and Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Delhi Belly is the ultimate culture shock for Indian audiences. It is a raucous, boisterous, potty-mouthed caper featuring the antics of three hapless young men.
Vir Das After impressing one and all with his performance in last year's Badmaash Company, funny man Vir Das is back with the laugh-riot Delhi Belly. The actor's comic timing in the film has become the talk of the town and Vir is but obviously elated with the response and feedback coming his way.
Delhi Belly has found its audience in youth and college goers and has does well at metro multiplexes in its first weekend.
And so, when we saw Raj Thackeray walk in with Aamir Khan to Ketnav, a theatre where the star screened his latest production Delhi Belly, last night, it did not surprise us much. However, it did catch our eye.
'Bhaag DK Bose', the popular song from Aamir Khan's latest production 'Delhi Belly' accidentally infringed copyrights of an artist duo who have a registered trademark of a similar name, but the actor has now amicably resolved the issue.
