Movie Report

Delhi Belly is a film directed by Abhinay Deo. Aamir Khan is one of the producers of Delhi Belly. He has also given a special appearance in the film. The film has several gross scenes but all these scenes manage to evoke laughter.

The film reveals the story of Tashi [Imran Khan], a Delhi-based journalist living filthily with two roommates Arup [Vir Das] and Nitin [Kunal Roy Kapur]. The three are forced to navigate the dark underbelly to survive, while encountering one situation after another and one idiosyncratic Indian after another. Tashi is to get married in a month to the glamorous Sonia [Shenaz Treasury].

One day, Sonia gives Tashi a packet to be delivered at an address. She is unaware that the packet contains very expensive diamonds and that she has been used as a carrier to smuggle them into the country for delivering to a don (Vijay Raaz). Not aware of the contents of the packet, Tashi casually asks Nitin to deliver it. But Nitin further asks Arup, equally casually, to deliver the packet and also to take his stool sample for testing at the pathological laboratory. As luck would have it, Arup delivers the diamonds packet at the laboratory, and the stool sample at the address of the don.

The don [Vijay Raaz] is shocked when he gets the wrong packet. He starts torturing Tashi and Arup, who are then at home, so that they can return the diamonds. As luck would have it, Nitin gets the diamonds just then, as the laboratory returns the toy to him when he goes there for medical assistance. On seeing the diamonds, the don is happy but he now wants to kill the three friends for fear that they would complain to the police about the smuggled diamonds.

The three friends escape from there and also take away the diamonds with them. They sell the expensive diamonds to a jeweller [Rajendra Sethi] for a fat sum of money but are soon informed that Sonia has been held captive by the don. The trio now has no choice but to go back to the jeweller to return the cash and get back the diamonds. However, the jeweller now asks for a much higher price for the same diamonds. What happens next forms the rest part of the film.

Performance wise, Imran Khan is outstanding. Vir das is unbelievable. Kunal Roy Kapoor is astonishing. Shenaz acts very well this time. Poorna is mind blowing she enacts her part very beautifully. Vijay Raaz as don is brilliant. Rest of the cats is equally supportive.

On the whole, Delhi Belly is a comic fare. The film is mainly targeted at youth audience. Don't miss it.
