Delhi belly - Shit happens

Delhi Belly - Shit Happens

Cast:- Imraan Khan, Vir Das, Vijay Raaj, Kunal Roy Kapoor, Shenaz, Poorna

Running time :- 1 hour and 40 minutes

You may or you may not have given due consideration to the tag line of the movie. SHIT HAPPENS. Although name contains Belly and shit comes from it. But still shit has been given more emphasis. If you are thinking about What the Shit I am talking about then go and watch the movie. This is the first movie where you have to see Shit on screen (however it must have been artificial) ;). You may feel like vomiting and laughing both at the same time.

The movie has nothing unique in its story. There have been better movies if you talk about story and treatment on the same concept of misplacement or replacement of money bags or diamonds. 1 chalis ki last local is I believe the best movie in this category as well as 99 and Sankat City are the other better one. The only thing special in this movie is that director has never tried to make this movie a family movie. He has tried to make it as real as possible. You will hear abuses in both english and hindi. However english abuses has no competition with our local hindi ones and we have lots of varieties too :).

The basic plot of the movie is of 3 friends Tashi(Imraan khan), Arup (Vir Das) and Nitin (Kunal Roy kappor). who are journalist, cartoonist and photographer respectively. The movie revolves around replacement of Diamonds with the stool sample of Nitin. Diamonds belong to a don (Vijay Raaj) which is my favorite actor so most of the time I was waiting for him to appear only and I am sure you will too after he comes on screen :). 

After 30 minutes of movie is passed, chase starts and the real action begins after entry of Vijay raaj and he is excellent as usual. There is no special mention of Delhi in the movie and it can be named Amritsar Belly if they want to say chicken was the main reason of stomach disturbance and all this but I will agree that such a chicken can be found on road side of delhi only as Punjab will not compromise with quality:).

I watched the movie in Hinglish or you can say more of english apart from our patent hindi abuses and some dialogues. I am not so good at english yet I was able to understand it. If you are going to watch then please watch in Hinglish only. You will get some laughs for sure. Though Imraan khan is the lead actor with two heroines yet Vir Das and Kunal Roy Kapur got  most of the funny scenes and dialogues. You are sure to get some scenes where you can laugh upon if you understood the dialogue otherwise you will at least listen to laughters of other people in the cinema hall after every short while may be after every 2-3 minutes.

There are other actors too like Shehnaz as Tashi's gf, Poorna as a ultra modern separated colleague, Paresh as house owner and Rahul Singh as Poorna's ex husband. All of these are good and do there work aptly. 

Songs do not come as a separate entity but as a part of the movie mostly running in the background apart from Ja Chudail in the mid and I hate you in the end featuring Amir khan.

I dont like Amir khan particularly but I appreciate him for his business sense as he know what to sell, how to sell and to whom to sell. He did not promote Dhobi ghat and peepli live much as he knew he will not be able to get much of the profit even after huge promotion where as case was different when Ghajini and 3 idiots came. This movie falls in second category as he knows he will be able to sell it and yes it will work and give him good profit. 

This is not a path breaking movie and have loads of loopholes in the script specially climax yet there are some scenes which you will have in mind after getting out. There is one such a scene when Arup's boss told him that "Banana Cartoon is looking more happy than necessary. Make it 7% sad". Go and make your self atleast 7% happy or more as happiness and smiles have become very rare now a days.

Keep smiling and Take care
