Delhi Belly Delhi Belly

S#!t Happens

Delhi-based Sonia agrees to deliver a package for Vladimir Dragunsky and asks her rather unkempt and debt-ridden fiancé, Tashi Malhotra, to do it for her. Tashi, in turn, asks one of two of his room-mates, Arup. But Arup forgets to do so due to an upset stomach ailment commonly known as 'Delhi Belly' as well as his plan to blackmail their landlord, Manish and asks the third roommate Nitin to deliver the package. A gangster, Somayajulu, who was the recipient of this package, starts by brutally questioning Vladimir, and finds out that the package may be in the possession of the trio. While Tashi must deal with his attraction for Journalist Menaka and incur the wrath of her husband, Rajiv, he still has to fully come to terms whether or not he wants to marry Sonia. And the entry of ruthless Somayajulu and his gang seriously jeopardizes any plans Tashi and his friends may have for the future.

    I wild thrill ride through the heart of Delhi. The film is a fantastic take on smuggling and how you end up in a spot that you cannot get out off. Brilliant acting and kudos for trying something different in this day and age of Bollywood cinema.

    Not your average Bollywood film, rather a black comedy (no laff track here) with explosive diarrhea, oral sex, graphic violence, gangsters and all taking place in a part of Delhi where buildings crumble and the water comes on only two hours a day (and you'd better have your buckets in place). The dialog is almost all in English except when some of the extras are talking and has a young, up and coming cast including Imran Khan and Vir Das. While it presents the gritty side of life it still has two musical numbers although they are done tongue in cheek.

    I watched this without subtitles, and while most of the movie was in English, I was left wondering what they were saying in Hindi the entire time. I can't help but wonder if this would have swayed my opinion of this movie. With that said, I still found the movie funny. It's quirky, a little cheesy, but still funny. When isn't a firecracker up someones ass not funny?

    If you don't mind a little Bollywood goofiness, then check it out. It's different from the traditional comedy I'm used to which was nice.

    This movie, from Aamir Khans production company, aims for a feel reminiscent of the best Guy Richie films; a stylish action comedy of errors concerning some diamonds and a piece of shit (yes, a piece of shit). The tone is more broadly comedic however, although the potty-mouthed silliness never overpowers the story (a common problem with lesser indian comedies).

    Clocking in at under two hours, featuring only two dance numbers (although the soundtrack is my favourite of 2012), an erect penis (inside the pants, mind), 80% English dialogue (much of it very good: "You're car is really ugly, man; it's like a donkey fucked a rickshaw..") and more uses of the word fuck than in an eighties Eddie Murphy standup…

    A lot funnier than I expected. The plot isn't anything to write home about, and some of the jokes fall flat, but there are some good laughs to be had in this.

    I'm fairly new to Bollywood and for anyone in the same boat as me, this is a good film to dip your toe in to the water with.

    Firstly, yes there are subtitles and you will probably need them. But don't despair, the film is in Hinglish. So most of the time you won't need to read the action.

    As a dark comedy sometimes this film leans heavily on the grim side. But there's always a funny moment based just around the corner.

    If you're adventurous, and you have a spare 90 minutes watch this. It will dispel some myths about how far Hollywood and Bollywood are apart.

    Lead actor, American Imran Khan has become a favourite actor of mine on the strength of this film and he has the talent to be a star worldwide!
