Delhi Belly : by Abhinay Deo

So Aamir Khan Production is back with Delhi Belly for audiences to relish! and admire his knack of narrating stories ..

Ummm ..Errr .... Huhh Oh!  Are you sure this is 'A'  Bollywood Film . ?!

Delhi Belly is a story of three roomates played by Imran Khan , Vir Das and Kunnal Roy.

They are so under obligation and dilapidated state , with no rent to pay.

Tashi(Imran) is in a relationship with Sonia played by Shehnaaz but he in turn is besotted by journalist Menaka played by Poorna.

Arup (Vir) is stuck in a hopeless cartoonist job and is dumped by his girlfriend too.

Nitin is a lazy dimwit with knack of eating crap roadside stuff , causing the ever famous Delhi diarrhoea.

A Gangster played by Vijay Raaz is eager to receive the diamonds package which is to be delivered by Sonia. In the midst of all confusion , Nitin's stool samples reaches the gangster and the diamonds are at the doctor's clinic.


** Disclaimer : A Word of Caution **

• The language used in the film is boorish and filthy to say the least , yet comical.

• The content in the film is gross , which is not everybody's cup of tea.

A side splitting comedy of errors and disorientation follows which had me in an uncontrollable riot !

Notable Sequences :-

1. Vijay Raaz receives the stool samples and the exclamation!
2. Nitin empties the Orange juice cartons to the utter disgust of Arup
3. The Jewellery Shop heist!
4. Nitin's photo - operation
5. Vijay Raaz entering Vladmir's room using a service guy's help ..
6. The Hotel Room Shootout
7. Roommates interrogation by Vijay Raaz for the diamonds before the roof falls!

There is no dearth of mad cap stuff , the 'F' word  ,  left right center , smacking right in your face crudeness & toilet humour galore!

The crisp editing and the music uplifts the film. Ram Sampath has truly arrived with tracks like 'Bhaag DK' ,  'I Hate You' and 'Sweety'.

Performances:  All three guys are exceptional and girls are just Ok , but Vijay Raaz takes the cherry on top!

Delhi Belly is a shocking , footloose comic caper smudged with good shit!

Moon : by Duncan Jones

Duncan Jones , a first time Hollywood director came into limelight in 2009 with this feature "Moon".

Starring , Sam Rockwell , who plays an employee of a firm which sends people to the moon on a mission to extract  helium 3 for augmenting Earth's power base.

This sci-fi celluloid drama has two characters , Sam Bell , the employee on the 3 year stint and GERTY , his robot ally (voice over Kevin Spacey).

Lunar Industries has contracted Sam for a job to monitor the Helium 3 extractors on the Moon.

He is two weeks away from the end of the contract and the d-day of his return to Earth, to his wife and daughter.

As the film explores Sam's Lunar day to day proceedings , it takes a turn when he meets with an accident whilst travelling to retrieve H3 from the harvester.

GERTY rescues Sam but to his surprise he is not aware of any accident that happened.

Sam starts getting suspicious of the odd occurrences at the base and the next instance the audience gets a jolt from nowhere ! Boom !

This film marks the unearthing of the talent of Sam Rockwell as a leading man in Hollywood films who has always been a sidekick.

Moon is a gutsy effort by the British talent , underlying his prowess of screenplay and direction of a sci-fiction subject.

A hard hitting space fiction drama! Like!

Groundhog Day : by Harold Ramis

It is a very significant story and is revered for being a socially and aesthetically important in today's times.

The time loop causes Phil to be confused at first and when it happens the following day , he tries to make the most of it in the negative sense.

He robs a bank with perfect timing , woo girls , drives heedlessly..

Eventually he becomes dispirited and desperate to finish the time loop at all cost even if it means attempting suicide in all possible ways.

Rita becomes his confidante and breaths new lease of life. Phil decides to use the curse in a efficacious way.

He uses his knowledge of the previous day events to help the neighbourhood , learn and rejuvenate himself.

This film is one heck of comic ride , thanks to Bill Murray's effortless humour timing!

It is also considered to be an important tale of virtue , self improvement & the power of giving..

Groundhog Day is easily one of the top 30 funny films of all time .. Have a good laugh!

L.A. Confidential : by Curtis Hanson

L.A Confidential came in 1997 , the same year when Titanic swept everyone's feet with romance and tragedy.

L.A is an out and  out hardcore LAPD drama set in 1950's where crime ,deceit and corruption was at its peak in the city.

It resolves around an homicide at a coffee shop in downtown L.A and looks at the point of view of 3 LAPD officers in charge of the case.

Edmund Exley (played by Guy Pearce , a'la Memento fame)
  *** Honest , Intelligent , Idealist.

Bud White ( played by vulnerable Russel Crowe)
  *** Hotheaded, Obsessive , Violently Brutal


Jack Vincennes ( played by laid back Kevin Spacey)   *** Nonchalant , Witty , Polished

The case & the plot is extremely interesting , with lot of suspense for the audience to cling to.

Everyone is a suspect here!!

In comes, Lynn ( played by irresistible Kim Basinger) , a Hollywood look alike artist who holds the key to the entire proceedings.

At varied intervals, the 3 men investigate the killings and circumstantial events which in turn begin to unravel indications of corruption all around them.

The performances are exemplary by the entire cast leading to an electrifying showdown in the end.

No surprises for it to bag nine Oscar nominations winning two out of those.

A superlative crime drama! Not to be missed!
