Both these movies released at the same time. Probably on the same date. Yet they're quite different. Personally, I have liked one and hated the other.
Delhi Belly.
This movie was given a thumbs down for the toilet humour, a scene or two of vulgarity and the use of abusive language. On the other hand, some critics lauded it for the filmmaker's bold comedy.
If you ask me, I enjoyed every moment of everything that's there in the movie. The story is okish...the one in which there are a lot of mix ups. The mix up routines similar to those seen in quite a lot of movies of recent times...one of them which comes to mind is the kunal khemu starrer '98'.
The casting is good. Imran khan, kunal roy kapoor and vir das, play the perfect roles of bachelors. The house which they live in fits the description of a 'bachelor's pad' well. Broken fans, plaster coming off the walls, unhygienic conditions and general carelessness. Shenaz Treasurywala looks hot. Its hard to believe that she's 36 (years of age !!:) ) A big 'Wow!!' for her. The villian's role done by vijay raaz has suited him and his 'proficient style' and the timing of his 'gaalis' makes you role on the floor with laughter !!
The film has targeted the young section of the audience of india, which enjoys humour in any form...pure classic or vulgar. Abusive language is part of their everyday lives and as such they like the openness of language used in the film.
Bbuddah Hoga tera Baap
Why the hell did I come to watch this movie? Were my thoughts 10 minutes into the movie. Bbuddah hoga tera baap has been compared with Delhi belly for reasons of being released at the same time and both being comedies.
Most of the critics have even pointed out that Delhi Belly is bad and BHTB is good. All those amitabh fans get a lot of joy by watching Amitabh Bachan in a 'superman' type oldie role. Frankly, amitabh might be good in the movie, coz he's simply the personality no one could match. You can say that, he being what he is, has salvaged a ridiculous show of stupidity.
Sonu Sood is a smart fellow, but his talent has been wasted in the film. I think he could do much better roles ! Sonal Chauhan is undoubtedly a pretty face..but that's about it. Hema malini has been aping nirupa roy these days....what with the crying in BHTB and other movies like 'baghban'. Raveena tandon...well best not to say anything.
The movie has amitabh saying something like 'beep beep' whenever any 'gaali' comes to his mind. Another poor joke. It would have been much better if he'd been open about it like vijay raaz in delhi belly.
So the talk about amitabh 'stealing the show' in the movie are all rubbish. There is no show...there is only amitabh.
Overall, if you watch this one after delhi belly after like I did, you're likely to like Delhi Belly than this one ANYDAY !!
