If you have the belly for a crass entertainer which is designed to have a shock value, this is the movie for you this season. Most of the scenes are disgusting and yet funny to make you laugh your guts out. When you come out of the cinema hall after 90 mins (no interval), you don't feel like you did not take a break and are entertained by the end of it. Of course, some of us were more entertained than the others.
Delhi belly is not a very new story nor its is complicated, it won't leave you 'wowed' but it would leave you in splits. I call it the reverse parental guidance (PG) - DO NOT watch it with your parents ;)
The movie is about 3 friends who are struggling to pay the rent and live in disgusting condition mainly due to the laziness of the 3 characters. Tashi, played by Imran Khan, is a journalist with a nagging fiancée Sonia (played by Shenaz Treasurywala). An airhostess, Sonia unknowingly picks up a smuggled parcel she's promised to deliver as a favor for a friend. It all starts to go terribly wrong when the package is mistakenly swapped by Arup (played by Vir Das). The real "shit" hits the fan when the gangster, played wonderfully by Vijay Raaz, receives a stool sample instead, belonging to Nitin.
Nitin's "Delhi Belly" becomes the prime character of the movie as this upset stomach is what provides the constant twists to an otherwise simple storyline. Its disgusting and "in your face" (all puns intended) but also very funny. The other angle in the story is provided by Tashi's colleague played by Poorna Jagannathan, who is constantly trying to lossen up Tashi. All the characters in the movie fit like hand to glove and kudos to the casting director for a job well done. All actors shine on screen with superb performances but the silent scorchers of scenes were provided by Maneka and Tashi who's portrayal of physical tension/attraction was hard to miss.
The music of the movie is already topping the charts but it comes alive even more in the movie, Ram sampath's background score can be called another character in the movie. Claps and whistles were a plenty each time the audience anticipated the song. Although the showstopper was the funny spoof dance by aamir Khan at the end of the movie.
Delhi belly may disgust you but will entertain you enough to overlook that
Rating: 7.5/10
