A hilarious film ! The three lead actors , Imran Khan, Vir Das , Kunal Roy Kapoor have rendered nearly flawless, crisp performances. Vijay Raaz has played a suave, droll villain - very amusing . The script, direction and editing is on the money. A refreshing & very 'unbollywood' like movie. Wish to see more films like this one from the Indian fim industry. Be warned-foul language in the film.

I know this review is coming a little late, but better late than never. And maybe it is better this way because now that the furor has died down, people might be able to see this viewpoint a little more clearly. Amir Khan is one of the biggest misogynist in the film industry today. Although very subtle and with an urban facade therefore more dangerous.The film concerns three bachelors Tashi (Imran Khan), Nitin (Kunal Roy Kapoor) and Arup (Vir Das). They are apparently so poor despite having jobs, that they live like sub-humans. I suspect they just do not want to clean their room. Tashi has a reasonably good looking fiancée Sonia (Shenaz Treasury) who is very rich and her parents talk of giving the couple an apartment and a car once they get married - to which not once does Tashi object. Yet there is a very 'Poor Tashi' vibe about the entire thing.On the course of her work as an air stewardess, Sonia (the idiot that she is) agrees to deliver a package accepted from a passenger and a complete stranger. She in turn delegates the job to Tashi (no Q&A here either). The package is mixed up with Nitin's stool sample and the film carries on from here with its toilet humor.On a work assignment with Nitin, he meets Menaka (Purnia Jagannathan), goes to interview and photograph a female celebrity and later make lewd jokes about her. Seriously, I have never seen anyone behaving like this at work. It is obvious that Menaka has started fancying Tashi, but Tashi doesn't care to tell her about Sonia despite the many chances he gets. Then there is Arup, whose boss has made life hell for him. He has a girlfriend who decides to marry someone else. She becomes the inspiration for the song which has probably now become the anthem for misogynists. Interestingly, the boss is never honored with a song. Nor are the many cheating men in the film including Tashi.The man-woman relationships in this film have so much insecurity and friction that it will give any thinking person diarrhea. The three types of women are: The fool, the cougar and the chudail.There is more disturbing stuff: The encounter scene between the police and the gangsters in which no one except Tashi and Sonia survive is kind of treated as fun - as if those policemen dying had no significance. It's their job to die a dog's death.. they sign up for that, who cares about them or their families. Further mockery is made of an inspector's injury who is wounded in the same encounter. If this country is inhabitable today, it is because of these very men and these very heroic sacrifices, not because of Amir Khan & Co or their vile films. This part was the most appalling which is saying a lot.Seriously the biggest S#!t that has happened is this movie itself and the reception it got at the time of its release. The way it resonated with the urban youth, makes the future really scary. What a waste of reel!

The bad:I am not totally against the use of bad language in films - some times it is totally appropriate - but I think there were times in this movie when it was just being used for the sake of it, and/or just to get cheap laughs from teenagers who still find the use of the F-word funny. One thing I love about Bollywood is it manages to get laughs with having to resort to bad language - and long may it remain that way.The good:The plot is fast-paced and it gets down to business pretty much from the get-go. I was watching it with my 17 year-old son and he thoroughly enjoyed it (maybe he is the target audience for gross-out comedy). It has some classic comedic moments and there were many times I laughed out loud.If you enjoyed Hangover then this is likely to be something you'll enjoy too.I did watch it with sub-titles on, but from what I can remember the dialog is almost all in English. Maybe this was to try and give it wider appeal.

Indian cinema is maturing at a faster rate and now even the censor board has boarded the flight of maturity. It's good to see people shedding hypocrisy and becoming rudely real with their dialogs in cinema. Sample this "This girl has given me a blow-job" or "You used my juice to clean your ass" – thumps up to censor board for releasing this without any cut. Delhi Belly is indeed the maiden attempt to elevate toilet humor to another level and probably it is dirtiest, filthiest comedy at its very best.Delhi Belly is a simple story about three roommates Nitin (Brilliant debut by Kunal Roy Kapoor),Tashi(Imraan Khan) and Arup(Vir Das) unknowingly stuck in a crime whereby a local goon (superb acting by Vijay Raaz) and his henchmen are after them to get back their diamonds and rest of the film is about the trio escaping as the youth anthem bhag bhag dk Bose scores in background.It is sheer genius of writer Akshat Verma to come up with a Guy Ritchie kind of script. One feels like watching a Guy Ritchie,Tarantino-is cinema with ample dose of Desi tadka. After his disastrous debut "The Game" Abhinay Deo bounced back with this. It is unorthodox kind of cinema at its best which hits all aspects of pseudo morality. The characters are real and identifiable, the ways they speak are shockingly real and so is the execution. There is no pretentiousness or double innuendos but in your face kind of toilet humor brilliantly used in the fast paced narrative. In the opening credit the characters are aptly introduced by mere usage of props as the song "Saigal Blues" plays lazily in the background. With the perfectionist Aamir Khan as the producer flawless execution is quite expected. Towards the climax when the shootout takes place, the slow motion execution seems like an opera with each character's reaction being like that of chords of various instruments in a string ensemble. The concept of return of disco fighter starring Aamir Khan is intertwined wittily with the narrative leading to the hilariously marvelous item song "I hate you (like I love you)" in the end where we see Mr perfectionist himself dressed as Austin power having fun with an intelligently choreographed song.Abhinay Deo is blessed with a talented technical team starting with a capable cinematographer who brings alive the by-lanes of Delhi. Without glorifying the tourist spots it brilliantly captures the intensity of the city and its true color and kudos to the art department for that. The 96mins pace is aptly edited with the clever idea of no-interval concept thus maintaining the flow with the gradual rise of madness. One of the real heroes of this film is the music and the lyrics. Ram Sampath(the music composer) and Amitabh Bhattacharya(the lyricist) created wonder with the album with Amitabh's magical lyrics Dk Bose is now the anthem of the youth. One of the most creative song since "Emotional atyachaar"(from Dev D) is "jah Chudail". The video of "Jah chudail" is sure to throw one in the floor with laughter. All the creatively outrageously funny songs in the album are used appropriately in the background.Coming to the acting department, casting director Adoore Mukherjee seems to know his job well selecting Kunal Roy Kapoor (who earlier directed the mind-blowing hinglish comedy "The president is coming") as Nitin who suffers a weak belly due to food poisoning. He is natural and shows oodles of emotions in his face. The other find of this movie is Poorna Jagannathan who is spontaneous and delightful actress. Vir Das and Imran Khan do justice to their roles and so does Shenaz Treasury. Vijay Raaz is a fine actor and while watching his subtle villainous act one wishes to see more of him.The henchmen in Vijay Raaz's gang did a fine job specially the one who played "Bunty".The person enacting the landlord has superb potential in situational comedy films.Aamir Khan should be applauded again for taking an independent cinema to this elevating commercial level. Previously he supported Peepli Live and Dhobi Ghaat, and now with Delhi Belly he opens a door for more film makers. It is true that Delhi Belly won't appeal to all cine-goers but then it will surely be named as one of the farting cult film in the long run. Hopefully more film makers will explore this territory unabashed. A true Potiliciously hilarious cinema that will be remembered for its content. A cult comedy all the way….
