Featured reviews
Delhi Belly is an action comedy movie directed by Abhinay Deo written by Akshat Verma and stars Imran Khan, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Vir Das Poorna Jagannathan, Vijay Raaz, Shenaz Treasury and Paresh Ganatra.
The movie depicts the life of three strangers who unknowingly becomes the target of a ruthless gangster when they mistakenly misplaces his expensive diamonds.
I have a 'wow' feeling after watching the movie and was thinking that Bollywood should make such more movies. The movie is beautifully written, superbly directed and has a gripping screenplay.
The plot of the movie is interesting and screenplay is fast paced, the movie will keep you engaged throughout and doesn't wastes much time in introduction of plot or the characters. The funny and hilariously made scenes will keep your bone tickling.
Acting is superb and although Imran Khan is being the central character the limelight is been stolen by Kunal Roy Kapur and Vijayawada Raaz with their immaculately perfect comic timings.
Climax of the movie is hilarious and as a movie viewers gives you a satisfaction. There could be some viewers who might have objections on certain languages used in the movie but for me it's high time that we should start accepting these kind of languages in the movie which indeed a common language amongst part of Northern India and specially Delhi NCR where the movie is been shot.
A hilariously funny movie.

The bad:
I am not totally against the use of bad language in films - some times it is totally appropriate - but I think there were times in this movie when it was just being used for the sake of it, and/or just to get cheap laughs from teenagers who still find the use of the F-word funny. One thing I love about Bollywood is it manages to get laughs with having to resort to bad language - and long may it remain that way.
The good:
The plot is fast-paced and it gets down to business pretty much from the get-go. I was watching it with my 17 year-old son and he thoroughly enjoyed it (maybe he is the target audience for gross-out comedy). It has some classic comedic moments and there were many times I laughed out loud.
If you enjoyed Hangover then this is likely to be something you'll enjoy too.
I did watch it with sub-titles on, but from what I can remember the dialog is almost all in English. Maybe this was to try and give it wider appeal.

It's barely half an hour since I left the movie theater, and I'll say this - I could easily buy tickets for the rest of shows for the day and watch this movie over and over.
The whole ensemble of cast has done an awesome job. Right from the extra you see in the background to Imran Khan. Vijay Raaz really defines the term "effortless acting". Right from the start of the movie it is shown just how the real world is. Delhi Belly is unpredictable. You probably won't even try to predict what will happen next because you will be too busy trying to drink in the explosion of humor on screen.
It (the movie) is really bold in some areas. I actually am still wondering how it got through the Censor Board without taking out the stuff that I saw. If this movie has an uncensored version, I would buy it in the blink of an eye.
I am quite ecstatic that Aamir has branched out from the typical movies he produces to invest in something so uncanny. Bollywood really needs more movies like Delhi Belly. Not the pretentious love stories with the ridiculous fantastical songs every ten minutes. If you haven't watched it yet, open a new tab right now and book tickets. Really, open a new tab...NOW!!
I'd rate this movie 11/10 if it were possible.

Bollywood has taken a big bold step with this movie , and once again , it was Aamir Khan who showed the way! He not only gave a movie that will be talked about for quite a long time , but again came to Imran's rescue, to give him a re-launch he desperately needed!
Every thing new has been tried , with the language being 90% English , the occasional Hindi comes out in the forms of those "terms of endearment" , and the lingo is something that we all dig! This one has fresh comedy, is stylish , and is worth a repeat view! All the performances were worth-watching ,especially the trio and Vijay Raaz 's !
Watch out for the "Ja Churail" number, its frigging hilarious!! And the one-liners too!

Its BOLD Bollywood. Gone are the days of double meaning David Dhavan's dialogs. There is only one meaning and that's always of other side of boundary. Its straight A movie with no gimmick to fool Censor board. That's kind of openness I always admire. Delhi Belly is roller coaster ride of one and half hours where you get exactly the kind of entertainment, what movie promises to deliver. It seems Abhinay Deo has very clear picture of targeted viewers and he didn't compromise a bit to deliver them. If the trend continues we can hope to see desi version of Pulp Fiction some day (is it still too much to wish for?).
Delhi Belly is Imran's best performance till date. Having Aamir as mamu is best thing happened to him, and he is also making sure not to squander this fact. He imbibed his character till throat. You just don't see a bollywood hero Imran Khan, its always Tashi with lots of s*** around him engross you. One good thing that stood out about movie is to making sure that each character has enough camera space. And to encouraging surprise, every one of them: Kunal, Vir, Vijay gave top notch performance. For sure, these guys are going to stay in bollywood for long time.
8/10.
