Wo bitte geht's nach Delhi

This is the first venture of Lara Dutta as a producer (She looks dead- drop gorgeous in the movie).

The so called road movie is inspired from many English flicks like "Changing Lanes" and many more. So the movie, frankly is not original unlike the last venture of director Dasvidaniya.

This is a kind of movie which is better to be enjoyed on weekends on DVD players.A good entertainer with its own loop holes (and huge loop holes).

The best thing about the movie is its star cast.Vinay is witty and Lara is a chick!Cameo by a superstar is good!

The movie fails to focus on any one track and keeps on struggling to catch your attention. Film starts well but falls flat by the interval and is never picked up.The humor quotient much needed for a road movie is less.

Editing is poor. Cinematography is brilliant. Nikos Andritsakis has successfully captured spices of Rajasthan and Delhi.

Challo Dilli never tries to be out of the box or extravagant. The movie remains a descent entertainer from the start till the end.

Overall an above average movie.

If ever you're feeling down or you lose faith in humanity, this is the ONE movie I suggest you watch... The rapport between the leads is not your typical "travel together-fall in love in the end" type.

Vinay Pathak as usual is amazing, Lara Dutta surprisingly gave an awesome performance... Definitely worth watching, I found this gem in 2021 during 2nd lockdown for covid19.

Honestly though such small movies go criminally unnoticed so in order to level the ratings here Ive given 10 stars... Hope this helps someone like it helped me. 🙏🏼

This was more of a gamble and I had left it last to watch but I'm glad that I did because Chalo Dilli provided me with plenty of laughter and surprise.

Vinay Pathak wasn't the surprise- he's a really underrated actor who's more than capable of taking the lead role of a movie and turning it into a success and joy to watch and this is but a shining example. I felt that he was never irritating, loud or obnoxious. The best description of his character that comes to my mind is "happy go lucky." Whatever situation or jam that he gets himself in he never gives up and it was amazing to watch him make friends everywhere. The dialogue is very good and the jokes are very funny, even the visual gags.

For me Lara Dutta turned out to be the surprise package with a very good performance. I've never really thought much of her acting abilities but here she does a very good job as a stuck up high profile modern business woman who comes unglued as the movie progresses. Yes, she looks very glamorous and high profile but it suited the character. What she brought to the role was pep and edge. She wasn't rude or obnoxious and she certainly wasn't above remorse and making apologies.

The movie itself had several things going for it. For one they didn't make the two lead characters fall in love with each other. There was no sexual tension, no longing looks and hence there was no need for pointless love songs to appear and the wrong moments. Even the songs that were in the movie were well placed.

Lara Dutta's character wasn't a one dimensional person who does an about turn at the end and becomes opposite to what she started out as, unlike most of the Indian movies where a character starts out as stuck up, rude and arrogant but withing a few scenes turns into a demure, polite, law abiding and super nice person. Her change is gradual and only reflects what's within her and that's more of an insight as opposed to a behavioural change.

This is a really fun movie to watch at any time of day and is definitely not a waste of time. Sometimes strangers can turn out to be saints in disguise, opening facets that lie hidden deep within, unknown to ourselves, and when opened can turn our lives upside down, bringing new adventures and insights for a better life. In Chalo Dilli Vinay provides that stranger while Lara represents the rest of us.

Best Comedy movie. Love the acting of vinay and lara. Great scenes. i loved the whole movie scenes except the scenes when gujjar singh enter in the movie. All the dialogue which is delivered by gujjar was rubbish (double meaning).

I really enjoyed watching this movie. And the last scene was awesome that taught me how to handle tough situation "To koun si badi baat ho gayi". Must watch this movie with family.

After the beautiful 'Dasvidaniya', Shashant Shah is back with Vinay Pathak in 'Chalo Dilli'. It's a road movie about two strangers who almost have nothing in common are brought by 'circumstances' to travel together as they head towards Delhi. The plot may sound very familiar as movies like 'Leap Year', 'Jab We Bet', 'Forces of Nature', 'Mr. & Mrs. Iyer' etc pop up in mind.

However, I found it to be quite refreshing. The interactions between Lara's Mihika and Vinay's Manu very amusing. The humour works effectively. The clash in their personalities and the funny situations that make their journey more of a disaster, are hilariously depicted. I'm glad the writer didn't choose a clichéd path by allowing the characters to have romantic feelings for one another. I also enjoyed the references it makes to movies like 'Dilwale Dulhania LeJayenge', 'Mr. & Mrs. Iyer' among many others. The Indian locations look authentic and appealing. All the songs, with the exception of the item number, have been utilized efficiently.

I have always thought of Lara Dutta who's an average actress at best until now. She really excels in 'Chalo Dilli' and shows how much she's grown as an actress. She nails the part completely. I also admire that she produced the film. I hope she continues doing this kind of work and does not go back to being a showpiece or a bimbo like in most of her previous movies. As for Vinay Pathak, this kind of role isn't anything new. He's had plenty of practice and of course the result is more than sufficient. Akshay Kumar is good in an extended cameo.

On the flip side, I felt that the item number wasn't necessary at all. I found the ending a little melodramatic. At certain points the film almost loses track.

Shashant Shah's 'Dasvidaniya' remains one of my favourites but I found 'Chalo Dilli' very enjoyable too. With Vinay and Lara's comic banter, there's enough to keep one amused.
