Many Indian comedies have their own success stories to tell. Some are goofy, some satirical, some slapstick, and then some raunchy as well. Now this raunchy part has not exactly been comprehensively explored. Most Indian raunchy comedies have a tendency to go drastically overboard and miss their mark completely.
When i watched the trailer of Delhi Belly, i did not expect it to hit the bull's eye either. The name that made me watch the movie is - "Aamir Khan Productions". And after watching, i admit that the name has lived up to its reputation once again - though it has come in for criticism for its heavy dose of vulgarity and adult content. That is so typically Indian ! We can brush aside the clichéd Indian reaction to adult themes and abusive dialog and talk about the movie instead. Its a known fact that in the sub-continent any suggestiveness on-screen or "out there" is 'vulgar' but living the same kinda life behind close doors at home, is 'privacy' !!
The cast is outstanding, and so is the acting for the most part. The script may not be entirely original but the treatment definitely is. The dialog writer has done a great job although the music director could have done his somewhat better. But then, in some scenes the use of classical, old Hindi film music more than complements the scene being played out. A fun ride that is worth our money and time. Thus far, this has got to be the Hindi movie of the year...oh, wait when was the last time a Hindi film was worth our buck ??
