For people who are not comfortable in their shoes..grow up.

I think good art opens a reader mind and makes him ask questions,contradict his own stereotypes and beliefs to what he really stands for.I dont think amir needs this movie to be a superhit,when all his rest movies already put him a class apart.You saw tare zameen par,now we see this,and it shows a genius with a mature mind to accept the value of both films.Most people who are complaining about it being cheap are people who HAVE WATCHED the film,as in you thought it was good to go,even after the producer warnings and an A certificate.What else you needed to know?this should not be a question of whether u could watch it with your kids but rather,was it funny?and yes for me it was.and yes,there is more vulgarity in all the 90s autorickshaw movies i grew up with with salman khan,govinda,deols,devgan,khanna and the rest than this movie for me whatever the certificate and expletives.And please dont bring the western culture thing here,that should have ended its drama 30 years ago.India has much dirtier slangs *aka punjabi ma ki..* and our bhojpuri and some item songs just put sexuality just make women nothing more than sexual objects,so whats with this?I think the reason people have issues is because they cant believe they liked the movie,they came to know they were normal humanbeings than the saints incapable of anger and lust they make themselves out to be.And lack of hippocracy is a start to a better future for india.Its art.and they warned u.as for me,i liked it.

We 60-year-olds loved it
by Ravi Ravinder on Jul 08, 2011 10:29 AM

My sister (aged 68) and I (aged 62) enjoyed Delhi Belly. In her words, it was 'irreverent, obnoxious and great fun'. Just to put our tastes into perspective, we also enjoyed Peepli Live, Endhiran, Taare Zameen Par, Dabangg, Jodhaa Akbar and Band Baaja Baraat.

In other words, if your like variety in your movies, and you like a movie that sticks to one 'mood' and does it well, this is the movie for you. Yes it has its expletives, but this is not unlike some conversations I overhear on the street between late-teenagers and/or 20-somethings. This is today's Indian 'street culture' if you like, face it. Its ot as if people are going to stream out of the theatere mouthing swearwords, just as you wouldm't expect anyone to come out of Endhiran wanting to bash up everyone in sight.

Aamir Khan has taken a risk with this movie - and not just a financial risk. Its to his credit that he has not compromised or watered down the original script. I dont see how this is any more vulgar than Salman's (or Malaika Arora Khan's) jhatkas in Dabangg.

So, go with an open mind and admire the manic energy that is on display. It reminds me of thw early works of a current European filmmaker, but if I mention his name, there'll be readers all on top of me for being elitist.

From two 60-plus year olds

My sister (aged 68) and I (aged 62) enjoyed Delhi Belly - in her words it was 'irreverent, obnoxious and great fun'. To put our movie tastes into perspective, we also recently enjoyed "Peepli Live', Endhiran, Dabangg, Taare Zameen Par and Band Baaja Baaraat.

No one is going to come out of this movie mouthing expletives, just as no one is going to come out of Dabanng or Endhiran bashing up every one in sight. As for the language, it is not unlike some conversations I overhear between teenagers or 20-somethings.

See it if you like variety in your movies, you dont mind some coarseness and crudity; see it if you have an open mind. As for Aamir Khan, he's taken a risk with this movie, and to his credit he has not compromised in maintaining a 'mood' right from start to finish.

Mr. Chhabda should stick to giving his voice for poorly animated films only and stop writing over the top reviewes.

it was already warned to all by Aamir khan in promos dat it really is a abusive film.. and requested children and those who r boring kind of people not to come.. so if u guys hate listening to slangs why did u go to watch d film...?? what's the use of watching d film inspite of advance warnings (by the producer himself) and then trying to abuse d movie on d internet??? this is what all fools do.. all dat i can say..

Big Shame
by unmesh ghate on Jul 06, 2011 10:21 PM

A clear move for an Oscar
1. Show how dirty India is
2. Use Filthy language
2. Make a movie in English (for Indian Audience?)

I was embarrassed to watch this movie with my wife. Amir khan getting real cheap...
