Movie Review :: Delhi Belly

This is my first movie review. I really don’t know how you write one. I don’t judge cinema too critically, based on technical parameters. I look at the movie, as a whole. If it manages to tell a tale which is different and has a certain degree of realism in it, it’s a thumbs up from me.

I’ve seen a lot of Comedy movies in Bollywood till now. Everyone follows the same formula, make a poor comedy movie, add some poor jokes and gags, Show those countable number of funny scenes uncountable times through the trailers and when the viewers come to the theater, they feel like they should’ve just watched the trailer.

Being a faithful Aamir Khan Productions fan, I was waiting for Delhi Belly. I knew I had to catch this movie first day. And whenever Aamir Khan is involved with a project, you can expect something creatively superior. Delhi Belly has a great story line. It’s not like the usual masala comedies, where a lame Akshay Kumar cracks a terrible joke and the audience join in with some fake laughs.

Delhi Belly is about humor, hardcore humor, where the line in between clean and obscene is rubbed and what’s on screen is mad, crazy but manages to crack you up. Because that’s what a comedy movie is supposed to do, right? If you disagree, rent a Rajshree movie and have the time of your life. It’s a comedy movie, with a strong story line, the plot is full proof. The jokes are laughable specially the comedic situations that are created as the story progresses. The dialogue writing is on-your-face. Rub the line between clean and obscene, and you’ll laugh. Because humor is all about rubbing the line in between. Yep.

The story telling could’ve been tighter during the initial stages. Then again, the dialogues keep cracking you every now and then. As the story progresses it gathers momentum but the comedic charm is not lost.

You can Google up if you want a detailed review by those over critical reviewers. I’ll just conclude it here.

Delhi Belly is a great movie. Aamir Khan Productions have experimented again and are quite successful in this experiment too. It’s not a family movie because some people use their minds while laughing. I say, let your minds relax for sometime. Go in there and bring out that child in you. You’ll have a good time. Big thumbs up to Delhi Belly.

Bollywood has come of age and that too, so beautifully.
