Delhi Belly .. As the name suggests, the movie explores the adventures of the protagonists in a setup which involves delhi as the location and belly[read upset belly] as the situation. the film is outright hillarious. the USP of the movie according to me is the fast paced events coupled with amazing comic timings of every actor. One thing which i was quite apprehensive about before watching the movie was regarding the fact that wheter or not the stupendous music by ram sampath will fit into the movie or will it break the rythm and fast-pacedness. but as i told you, breaking away from regular hindi movie melodrama, this movie makes use of all the tracks on record at perfect times which does justice to the storyline. Coming to the storyline, it could well be rated as a not-so-innovative storyline with the age old bollywood masala about diamonds and stuff. but despite dealing with a storyline as vague as this, the film steals away moments of glory. accourding to me, this movie is certainly going to be a pathbreaking benchmark in bollywood which will see many such slick and fast paced comedies to be made. kudos to the censor board of india to show a sense of maturity and pass the movie without any cuts since it would have taken the soul away off the movie. all three male protagonists, Imran Khan[as the groom to be.. who eventually falls for someone else], Vir Das[The lost-in-love guy/cartoonist] & Kunaal Roy Kapoor[a foodie who gives in to some streetwise tandoori chicken which gives him the worst delhi belly ever] have perfect comic timings,Vir das being the pick of them all. the movie had many high points. some of them are :The song SAIGAL BLUES : perfectly picturised and actually demonstrates how all three guys are.
Vijay Raaj receives S#%t : Ha Ha Ha.. This one was epic
Kunal Finishes off all the orange juice in house
The Song JAA CHUDAIL : Amazing...
Bank robbery : Vir Das drinking water with the burqa on.. :P
Dialogues were fantabulous . I watched the HINGLISH version. some of the dialogues were killer. e.g vir to kunal : "Fu#%er is that your G#$%nd or a solar eclipse"..:P
This is definitely not a movie to watch with family, but it s an amazing one to watch with friends.
My Ratings : 4/5 [definitely the pick of the movies for me this year]

Dear Disco-Fighter,
I Hate you [like I love you]...
Well, your production house is the gem production house since it’s established, and thanks for that. Watched your Delhi Belly yesterday, and found it to be a laughter riot. Though, it’s not a cult film, as crowned by many critics and viewers, but yeah, it would be surely a trend setter. Using main stream actors in an adult comedy with use of so much ‘gaali galoch’ and that too by a mainstream banner is surely a gr8 risk, and you took the chance, now many other production houses are going to follow this trend for sure. Kudos!!
But, only that wouldn’t have worked. Though, it works big time, but what makes Delhi Belly an enjoyable fun ride is it’s funny situations, fine performances and tight story. So, Abhinay Deo, take my bow. The director blends the situation and BGM quite well, and gets quite good backing from Actors too. Imran Khan has done decent job, Veer Das is hilarious but it’s Kunal Roy Kapoor who excels and steals the show. Quite farting performance, I must say. Your item dance as Disco Fighter is hilarious.. You rock big time.. :) Shehnaz looks pretty. Vijay Raaz & Pravin Ganatra are dependable as always. Poorna Jagannathan looks quite okay but suits the character.
Over all, 4.10 cheers for the movie.
