Rent Delhi Belly (2011)

HORRENDOUS - Delhi Belly review by RS

A truly abysmal film, so bad that it has prompted me to write my first review. Painfully unfunny, crass and over-Americanised puerile drivel. Apart from that, it was rather good

Not your typical Bollywood movie - Delhi Belly review by PS

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.

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.

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 dialogue is almost all in English. Maybe this was to try and give it

wider appeal.
