Delhi Belly - Smell of Success

It was year 2000, in a boring MBA class I wrote these four lines

To be happy in life all you need is
Money, Money and more money,
Go out with a girl on a date,
And from time to time ease yourself and defecate.

I was unaware that these four lines would inspire the basic story line of the latest blockbuster Delhi Belly.


3 guys staying in a bachelor accommodation in Delhi are hungry for money, sex and food like any other regular guy. Tashi (Imran Khan) a journalist is engaged to Shenaz Treasurywala, a dumb and rich air hostess. Arup (Vir Das), a cartoonist, Tashi’s other roommate, shaves his head as his girlfriend readies to marry a software engineer from Canada. Nitin (Kunal Roy Kapoor), the 3rd bloke is a photographer for Tashi who likes to blackmail his randi premi house owner to save rent and likes to eat Tandoori chicken from the ball scratching roadside vendor and is currently experiencing Delhi Belly. All these 3 regular bachelors have a roller coaster ride with a classic case of mix up while delivering 2 packages. The package meant for the doctor is delivered to gangster Somayajulu (Vijay Raaz) and the fun starts. Shenaz and the three guys are on the hitlist of Somayajulu as he realizes that this shit has happened to him. Bhaag DK Bose aptly runs in the background when all three run for their lives as they get into deeper shit. Then with help of Menaka (Poorna Jaganathan), Tashi’s friend, they pencher the gangsters and get out of the deep shit before it hits the roof and comes crashing down.

The colourful Lingo and comic situations are the USP of the movie. You would realize that you f*&^ing speak just the same way as all those characters in the movie. It’s our day to day language in every dialogue and most of them are hilarious. A special mention to Vir Das’s awesome dialogue of what his girlfriend did to him and in return what he did to her during the song sequence of “Jaa Chudail”. I could not control my laughter to my favorite dialogue by Vijay Raaz’s sidekick in the hotel.

Gangster knocks on the door
Voice from the room: Who is it?
Gangster: Sir, Looondree

Everyone in the movie gets their share of screen space, but it is Kunal Kapoor’s Butt show in the opening scene which cracks the deal for the movie. The screen space was best occupied by Shenaz Treasurywala’s treasure which is not in her chest but on her chest. Vijay Raaz and his chaman chuti$e sidekicks are amazing in every scene they appear. A laugh every 30 seconds is guaranteed. Kunal, Vir and Imran as regular bachelors hungry for money, sex and food have done a fantastic job and have no qualms using F&*^ in almost every dialogue they say. Every guy who has stayed in a bachelor accommodation will relate to them. All characters live up to the "A" certification, Kunal plays confidently with a wh0re, Vir Das doesnot blink an eye while talking about BJ and OS, Shenaz reminds Imran to shave his beard in the OS scene, Poorna thoroughly enjoys her liplock with Imran .


And finally Aamir khan as Disco Fighter with his pelvic thrusts penchers the success ride of Munni and Sheela when he says “Shake that biscuit Baby, Shake it for me” in the item number I hate you (like I love you) along with Anusha.


Music by Ram Sampath is very catchy, Bhaag DK Bose, Switty, Jaa Chudail, Pencher and I hate you (like I love you) used for promotion by Aamir, the promotion specialist, have done wonders for even for a tried and tested storyline. Director Abhinay cleverly ends the movie suggesting a sequel. And with an “A” certificate, I wish to see more than cleavage and belly button of all those Swittys in the sequel. 26.3 crores in the opening weekend speaks volumes about what the audience want to see and hear. Hope the trend is here to stay.

I had fun watching this crazy movie. All adults (definitely not by age ) who want to have fun while watching movies and are yet to watch this movie, run to your nearest movie hall singing

"BHAAG DK BOSE DK BOSE DK BOSE BHAAG BHAAG DK BOSE DK BHAAG"
All other kids please wait till your favourite cartoon movie Ra.one is released.
