Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji

There are three parallel running stories in movie dil toh baccha hai ji. Of the three stories I liked Ajay Devgan's story the most. It may be because of my ethics. Only thing I would like to tell about the two other stories is yes it happens and its not my cup of tea. My rating(7.5/10) is only for Ajay Devgans story.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: It was good.

Tone: Love life of three pairs has been captured well.

Music: It was above average.

Acting: It was good, especially June Pinto.

Madhur Bhandarkar, a national award winning director, is well know for his hard hitting movies such as "Fashion" and "Chandini Bar", and that's why you have to give him lots and lots of credit for going out of his comfort zone.

The performances by all 3 of the leading males (Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi and Omi Vadiya) are good. The character development makes up the story; hence, we get to know more about the personalities of the three characters as the film progresses. Their respective stories are all different so the theme of love, of course, is thoroughly explored.

The cinematography is good as you would expect, as is the screenplay.

Music has been nicely incorporated; there are no songs that don't 'fit in'.

Verdict: a nice, funny and romantic movie that shouldn't be missed. 8/10.

Madhur Bandharkar has recently brought us great movies to watch such as Fashion, Jail, etc. Now he has stepped into the romantic comedy genre with Dil To Baccha Hai Ji.

It isn't the best movie or the best comedy in recent times, however its definitely 2 hours well spent. There has been some criticism that the movie's foundation resides on sexual jokes. Sure, i agree that there are quite a few of them but there aren't as vulgar as seen in other movies for example Masti. The 3 male actors, Tisca Chopra performed really well however the other 3 actresses did not shine in my opinion. Especially, Shruti since her role only lasts 15-20mins. The love stories for Ajay and Omi are well structured but i found Emraan's story to be kind of random. It is never clear when he falls in love. The music in the movie is quite good and i really liked the use of 'Jadugari' in the BGM.

Ajay is already set but this movie is a stepping stone for both Emraan and Omi. Emraan in the past has stuck to Mahesh Bhatt movies and this could be his introduction to more commercial movies - he is very talented and deserves a chance to shine. Omi's acting even though was very similar to his character in 3 idiots but the context was different and maybe we will see him in other comedies soon.

As far as 2011 is considered, after No one killed Jessica, this is my favorite movie of the year so far. I recommend that everyone (adults) should go and give this one a shot.

Madhur Bhandarkar's new venture, before he had directed serious movies and by this he had tried new genre. I would say first half is enjoyable as there is enough punches to make you laugh with the dose of some clumsy lines but its acceptable.

But in second half it loses its track and most of the scene looks to be imposed in movie. The Emraan Hashmi's track is half baked and also some scenes are not fitted nicely. But I would say for the some entertaining parts I enjoyed this. Although there are some of amateurish performance by supporting cast but it is leading male actors who done well also Tisca Chopra. And at last I liked the ending of the movie.

It's been a while since I've seen something as boring as Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji'. With this movie, the director has attempted to do something different from what he's usually comfortable with and he steals the title from one of last year's most popular soundtracks 'Ishqiya'. Anyway, the movie focuses on the lovelife of three housemates that include a divorcée banker, a promiscuous gym instructor and a virgin who works at a wedding agency.

It tries to be bold by addressing themes about the relationship between an older man and younger woman, an older women and a younger man etc etc. The script lacks spice and slow. Most of the jokes fall flat despite desperately trying to be witty and clever. The characters do little to hold interest and I could hardly care whether they would get the girl or not. Moreover, the movie moves at an incredibly slow pace.

Where acting is concerned, Ajay Devgan is passable in a dull role. Emraan Hashmi is irritating. Tisca Chopra stands out as the trophy wife/ cougar. Shruti Hassan is adequate. Shradha Das has poor diction. Shazahn Padamsee is competent. Rituparna Sengupta is wasted. Omi Vaidya steals the show.

In the end it's film toh boring hai ji.
