I saw a scene like that in a Hollywood movie and I walked out within seconds of seeing that scene. I wonder how many others are like me. To emphasize my point, I saw ZNMD for the second time yesterday even though Delhi Belly is still playing in the same theater and I haven't even watched it once. I might get it on DVD if I don't forget about the movie, but not looking forward to that either. All because of one (or more?) gross scene(s).Ram P.

I thought some of the expletives and sexual/ adult content was overdone and put in there simply for shock value, it was not strictly relevant to the movie at all!! Also, this could have been set in Mumbai or any other city ... did not seem to be a Delhi film particularly (agree with your view on the play on Delhi Belly). However, this doesnt take away from the fact it is a fun film and very enjoyable ... the kathak/ celing fan/ burka moments were all hilarious as was Bhag Bhag DK Bose! I'd rate it 3 stars maybe ...<br /><br />MeenuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-52311051649068689252011-07-08T00:42:39.221+05:302011-07-08T00:42:39.221+05:30Hello Dyne,
Thank you for your detailed analysis...Hello Dyne, <br /><br />Thank you for your detailed analysis of Delhi Belly and my review. I must, however, clarify that you have misunderstood the first paragraph of my review. I didn't say that I did not "hear" swear words in this film. I said I did not think there were more swear words in this film than in the other Hindi films I've listed. <br /><br />About your discomfort with the use of the F-word in Delhi Belly: if we pretend that people don't use the word, will that change the reality? The "need for frequently delivering the abusive word in between" (as you put it) is because that is how these particular characters speak. At no point does the film suggest that the rest of us should speak that way.<br /><br />And if children watch this film although it has been awarded an A certificate, then you should hold parents accountable for not checking the rating before taking their kids for it; you could hold the film Censorship system accountable for being harsh while rating films yet not bothering to monitor theatre admissions. How can you blame the film?<br /><br />By the way, I'm glad you enjoyed the film despite your concerns. <br /><br />Regards, AnnaAnna MM Vetticadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672605004762355462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-90734426286690384892011-07-07T09:53:28.185+05:302011-07-07T09:53:28.185+05:30Anna's 3.5 star rated film screening in my cit...Anna's 3.5 star rated film screening in my city and how could I concentrate on my work and sleep tight?? so went to see Delhi Belly yesterday. First of all I must say the movie succeeds in entertaining the viewers. A laugh riot which keeps me engaged till the end. All the lead characters did their roles with utmost perfection. As you said, Imran found to be more comfortable with his English diction and it reflected in his character. But in my view, it is Kunaal and Vir who stealed the show by their natural acting skills. Kathak, ceiling fan, poorly constructed building, burqa clad Arup drinking water, trying to hide the tv screen from the police officer.... were all hilarious moments in the film. I completely agree with all your views mentioned above.<br />Coming back to your review, it is said that dialpgue writing should be applauded. how?? The word starting F.. has been used in numerous occasions which seems to be annoying towards the latter half. We have an exciting plot, pacy screenplay nourished with fun-filled maments; then what is the need for frequently delivering the abusive word in between??? Secondly it is written that you didn't hear swear words, thanks to your limited vocabulary!!! Recall Arup dreaming about bursting at his girl friends wedding party?? If what I heard is correct, it is the most bitter dialogue I had ever listened from an Indian film!! It is good that the first dialogue was spelled quickly that most of the audience couldn't catch up the meaning. Aamir khan production & Imraan Khan as hero....we can't stop kids from watching it by simply giving an adult certificate. So there are chances where few scenes and dialogues might adversely affect the minds of younger generation. If Delhi Belly turns out to be a trendsetter, we may witness similar genre movies in future with the flavors of Hollywood adult comedies. The question is whether it will be good for Indian cinema???? well.... I don't know!!!<br /><br />DyneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-56317451373041239142011-07-02T13:40:01.321+05:302011-07-02T13:40:01.321+05:30Anna I totally rely on your reviews before watchin...Anna I totally rely on your reviews before watching any of the latest releases, as I have similar tastes.
