I hate you (like i love you!)

The song just sticks in your head when you walk out of the theatre, and you are left with the same feeling about the film...I hated Delhi Belly (like I loved it)!


hated that I got to see the Hinglish version and not the Hindi version(like I loved that this Hinglish film didnt star Rahul Bose)

hated Abhinay Deo’s last film Game(like I loved Delhi Belly). Guess what a difference a producer makes huh!

hated that there was only one song (music was outstanding)(like I loved that that song was only a minute long that meant the movie was tight)

hated that Aamir came in only at the end(like I loved that they teased it way upfront)

hated that there was way too much potty in the film(like I loved that people could mistake tatti for a diamond)

hated that Imran carries the film single-handedly(like I loved the support cast and really felt good for Vir Das and Vijay Raaz)

hated that you will never get to see this on the tele(like I loved the thought of watching it again and again on DVD)

hated that there was little Delhi(like I loved the characters of the Don, his goons, Vladamir and the landlord)

hated that all the car chases were in a Santro(like I love that Santro will be suing for the ‘Donkey f#@king a rickshaw’ tagline)

hated that the fat guy was the one who had all the stomach problems(like I loved that the fat guy got the best lines)

I hated that Anusha got to shake a leg with Aamir(like i loved all the women in the film, including the landlord's wife)

hated the unnecessary boyfriend track(like i loved the flyover shoot-out chase sequence that followed)


hated that people were comparing this to a Guy Ritchie film(like I loved that this movie is the best Bollywood ‘adult’ comic-caper to date)

hated that I cant take my aunt to this film(like I loved the dialogue ‘your g#$%d is a solar eclipse)

Overall, its just sad that everyone wont love Delhi Belly as much as a tolerant few would, and that’s a pity because this movie could have been the next big thing after 3 idiots, and the repeated use of expletives and abuses were a tad unnecessary!

But apart from that self-righteous, spread the message of ‘the new Bollywood’ thought, the movie is brilliant as is refreshing and you realize that you don’t need an Aparna Sen, Rajat Kapoor or a Perizaad Zohrabian to make an off-beat Hinglish movie!
