Its nothing like you've seen in a Hindi movie before, not even close. Packed with rude humor and situation gags Delhi belly will make you Laugh till you cry!! Its just 90 minutes of pure fun!
Most of its action erupts within a poverty stricken apartment shared by three buddies - Tashi, Arup and Nitin - struggling to make the rent. Tashi, played by Imran Khan, is a journalist with a nagging fiancee , Sonia (played by Shenaz Treasurywala). An airhostess, Sonia orders Tashi to drop off a parcel she's promised to deliver as a favor for a friend. The unsuspecting girl has been used as a courier by a diamond-smuggling ring, and it all starts to go terribly wrong when the package is mistakenly swapped by Arup (played by Vir Das). All hell breaks loose when a gangster, played wonderfully by Vijay Raaz, receives a stool sample instead, belonging to Nitin (played by Kunal Roy Kapur), who has been struck by a horrific case of Diarrhea . Yes, I have to admit it's disgusting, but it's also very funny.
Adding to this strange cocktail of characters is Tashi's free-spirited colleague Menaka, played by Poorna Jagannathan, who unfortunately is still trying to shake off a jealous, goon-ish ex-husband. Expect screeching car chases, Dangerously abusive language (one of which is even written backwards into a song), a stylishly-shot gunfight in a hotel room, and a generous dose of irony.
Unlike other "So-called" stereotyped "Akshay Kumar" Comedies, this film doesn't have any over the top foolish and slap-stick comedy scenes. Each laugh blends in correctly and is cent percent justified. And the story line is simple. but has enough mild twists to keep you entertained. Director Abhinay Deo does a good job of making the script seem more that it actually is, and what helps it along are hilarious performances by Vir Das and Kunal Roy Kapur. Imran Khan, meanwhile, clearly enjoying himself in a part with no star cravings, sportingly allows his co-stars to take the lion's share of jokes.
There is nothing deep in the movie. No, unlike the name suggests, its no Ode to Delhi. Its just a story portrayed with utmost reality. The Abuses and other "Adultery" could have been avoided, but that is what that makes this movie stand out from lot and makes it "Not-Just-another" Bolly flick. The language and filthy picturisation gives it authenticity and makes it look really real!
The Uncanny satire and an impeccable background score, probably his best till date, by Ram Sampath makes this a Movie that you'll want to watch with your Buddies surely more than once!
Four rating and Two Huge THUMBS UP for Aamir Khan and Abhinay Deo's Delhi Belly! GO ON! Have a Good Laugh:D
RATING : 4/5
