Movie Review: Delhi Belly

Are you having orange juice or tandoori chicken? Then reconsider, because after watching this film you’ll never ever have these edibles again, thanks to the Bollywood’s first nauseated version, which is out now! Don’t get me wrong I’m not bashing Delhi Belly in fact, it’s a compliment as it only goes down to show that toilet humour used Delhi Belly rocks! as it’s not flushed down the toilet.


Tashi (Imran Khan) is a journalist who is struggling for hardcore news and is not sure about his relationship, Arup (Vir Das) is a Visualizer in an ad agency who’s not able to decide who to kill first- his girlfriend (who just dumped him) or his super nagging boss and Nitin (Kunaal Roy Kapur) is a photographer who is suffering from the worst Delhi Belly case. Three blokes, one shady apartment and a small mishap by Tashi’s girlfriend Sonia ( Shenaz Treasurywala) which triggers a maddening chase that gets them in the hit list of one of the world’s deadliest crime syndicates owned by Vijay Raz. There are enough frenzy moments in the film that keeps you intact in your seat. Kunaal Roy Kapur constant grips, growls and loo exploits are unmatchable. Director Abhinay Deo and writer Akshat Verma knows the nerve center of its urban audience which is why they gave an exceptional treatment to a tepid storyline. The brilliance of this film lies in characterization of the ensemble cast. Minute detailing is added through fabulous make-up. Also, kudos to the Cinematographer- Jason West, Editor- Huzefa Lokhandwala and Art Director-Shashank Tere for creating ubercool frames. Each and every frame gives you 200 percent more value to what you have spent on your ticket. And that’s fabulous production value. Music by Ramsampath only adds to value to this superb creation.


Delhi Belly as some might say is India’s first X-rated film. Indeed! It’s crude, crass, abusive and bawdy humour justifies this title, but is it just about that? Well the answer is NO. Delhi Belly has what’s most of its youth centric contemporaries lack- a well etched out plot which is neat, tight and moves almost like a bullet. And please the language doesn’t corrupt your morals; after all we live in CALIFORNICATION age, don’t we? I agree we don’t practice vulgar gestures or use abusive language in our house but let’s face it we are exposed to it. So it’s only mature to look beyond the ‘GAALIS AND OVERDOSE OF TOILET HUMOUR’ debate and appreciate this unbridled farce. Also, Delhi Belly is one big tight slap on those comedy filmmakers whose sense of humour is almost infantile. Its high time guys you wake-up and take a notice of such films and please stop treating your audience as retards. Bravo censor boards for showing maturity and clearing the film with no cuts and beeps. My biggest issue with the film however is despite the setting it lacks Delhi flavour. It exhibits Delhi only with respect to its location and art direction. The culture is far far way and that’s a big question mark.


This flick is surely a trendsetter with respect to marketing and strategy which is expected from the Marketing Hancock Aamir Khan. Almost all popular songs in the film were shot separately and are open to its audience on YOUTUBE or UTV motion picture website which, in a way is a good strategy as it only adds value to the overall product also helps in maintaining the pace of the film. Plus mamu jaan’s item number I hate you IN BRACKETS (like I love you) as a Disco Fighter has already become a talking point. Plus the film has no interval and is released in two versions- Hinglish and Hindi. So take your pick guys if you carry no extra baggage about sensibilities being attacked, principally ok with the language being used or overdose of lavatory humour and that’s what exactly mamu-jaan says in the promo. Enjoy the film with an informed decision as this flick promises no dull moments

India's batting future remains uncertain

India's old firm of batsmen have played a big role over the years, particularly in the last three seasons, to install the team on top of the Test cricket ladder. But the current West Indies tour has kicked off a transition period where the country looks to spot potential replacements for their aging greats greats Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman
The series against the struggling Caribbean side is seen as a perfect opportunity for the young batsmen to pass their apprenticeships in the absence of Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Tendulkar.

However, a consistent West Indies bowling attack has showed that they have a lot of convincing to do, leave alone force their way into the side.

While Rohit Sharma waits in the wings, openers Abhinav Mukund, 21, who made his debut in the first Test in Kingston, the more experienced Murali Vijay as well as Virat Kohli, have not found ways to counter the pace and bounce.

With India due to play in England and Australia in the next few months, pace will be their constant companion.

Vijay, 27, had played 10 Tests as a replacement opener going into the Barbados Test and his technique and temperament have been exposed. In the two Tests he has played away from the sub-continent, in Durban last year (19 and 9) and in Kingston, where Ravi Rampaul knocked him over for 8 and 0 - he has flopped.

Virat Kohli has looked clueless against pace and bounce that has dented his reputation as a hot talent.

Suresh Raina has showed signs he is overcoming the short ball problem. But these are still early days.

Skipper MS Dhoni has told the youngsters not to be too hard on themselves.

"What is important is not to get desperate to score runs. When you are desperate you add more pressure on yourself."

Anna Hazare sets Aug 15 deadline for Lokpal Bill

NEW DELHI: Beginning his day-long hunger strike at Rajghat to protest against corruption and the recent police brutality, the 73-year-old-Gandhi devotee Anna Hazare said that if the Lokpal Bill was not passed, he would fast unto death at Jantar Mantar from August 16.

Anna described his movement as the second battle of independence but underlined Gandhi's non-violent path. He said his Wednesday fast was to condemn the police action on Ramdev's supporters at Ramlila ground. Anna likened the police brutality to the British repression of Indians in Jalianwala Bagh on April 13, 1919. He advised his supporters to refrain from violence. "The government is very powerful, if we indulge in violence, it will give the government an excuse to quash the movement," he warned.


The Gandhian reiterated, "The government has forgotten that people are the masters and not the government. They need to understand that we are one, not different."

Anna is holding his symbolic one-day fast at Rajghat, the site where Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, was cremated. Thousands of Anna supporters came out to join his fast despite severe heat and made their way through heavy police presence at the venue. Nationalistic songs in catchy beats were sung and cheered at passionately by Anna supporters. Baba Ramdev's Bharat Swabhiman Trust activists were also seen among the massive crowd. Lots of people have been stopped ahead of barricades because of the heavy turnout.

Earlier, the veteran lawyer and civil society member of the drafting committee on Lokpal bill, Shanti Bhushan described Anna Hazare the modern day Gandhi. At this the crowed cheered loudly.

Taking a dig at the Congress led UPA govenment Bhushan said, "The (UPA) ministers don't know constitution. They think of themselves as viceroys of the British era. The right of the police to invoke section 144 was misused for Jantar Mantar to justify the unjust action at Ramlila." Bhushan reiterated that the movement against corruption was not about the lokpal bill but about fundamental rights.

The social activist and leader of the 'Indian Against Corruption' movement Arvind Kejriwal said that if his agitation became communal, he would be the first person to leave it. Kejriwal was referring to the government accusation that the anti-corruption movement was a communal Hindu right wing sponsored movement.

resume Siachen talks today between india and pakistan

After a gap of three years, defence secretary-level talks between India and Pakistan on the long-pending Siachen issue will kick off in New Delhi on Monday. Defence secretary Pradeep Kumar will lead the Indian delegation during the two-day talks with his Pakistani counterpart Lt General (Retd)

Syed Ather Ali. India and Pakistan have decided to resume their dialogue, which was put on hold after the November 2008 Mumbai terror attack, following meetings between their prime ministers in Thimpu in April 2010.

Pakistan’s defence secretary Lt General (retd) Syed Ather Ali arrived in New Delhi on Saturday for the 12th round of talks, which will conclude on Tuesday.

While the Pakistani delegation has two civilian officials and four military officers, the Indian side includes special secretary RK Mathur, director general of military operations (DGMO) Lt General AM Verma and surveyor general S Subha Rao, defence officials said.

Siachen, the world’s highest militarised zone, has been a long pending issue between India and Pakistan over differences on the location of the 110-km long Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) which passes through the Soltoro Ridge and Siachen glacier.

“The AGPL is not clearly marked beyond the grid reference point of NJ-9842. The two countries have decided to de-militarise the Siachen glacier, but the matter is stuck as there are apprehensions on both sides,” officials said.

India wants Pakistan to authenticate the AGPL, both on the maps and the ground, as it occupies most of the dominating posts on the Saltoro Ridge, they said.

Pakistan, in turn, has been insisting on maintaining the pre-1972 troop positions as agreed in the Simla Agreement. Retaliating to Pakistan Army’s advances in the glacier in 1984, India launched Operation Meghdoot and deployed its troops in most of the dominating features in the area.

The defence secretary-level talks between the two countries on Siachen dates back to 1985. The decision to hold joint talks was taken by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Pakistan President General Zia-ul-Haq.
