I finally could see Delhi Belly last night, another recent hit movie from Aamir Khan production. It is on the other pole of the ‘dhobi ghat’ and ‘peepli live’. Still I give more respect to Aamir for taking the risk of filming this.
But Delhi Belly according to me is a loud and sloppy humor. Humor is relative and the definition of the word changes from age to age. However humor can always be smart, which is not so in Delhi Belly. The loud sound of diarrhea/gas and hard hindi slang in every (literally) sentence make it much coarse a script. This is like a hindi imitation of Harold-Kumar movie. And finally why Delhi and why Belly ? It could be any where in India…and it is more appropriate to be Bum than Belly.
