Worst Movie but todays generation happy with shit, best for them

Always been a fan of you. I was completely bowled over by ‘Taare Zameen Par, Peepli Live and Dhobi Ghat’. Since your name was associated with such quality products I looked forward to your new projects. But I must say that you have let me down with such a vulgar and ugly representation of Indian culture through your latest vehicle ‘Delhi Belly’. If this is what India has become and that the youth of India are embracing the worst traits of western behaviour and culture then India is degenerating. Your film is similar to what you see in C – grade Hollywood movies.
Your depiction of toilet humour is revolting. Fortunately I travel to India regularly and I am yet to see such gross bad behaviour amongst everyone I meet.
After such a disappointing experience I eagerly look forward to the weekend episodes of Little Champs 2011 on Zee TV. The kids are amazing.

Can we have our old Aamir back?

3 Star rating to a filthy, uncultured stuff by rediff makes me to believe, the rediff is paid for such ratings. I want rediff to define a Cheap movie. The rediff family must be using such language at home and must be admiring if their children used the language in daily colloquy.

Interesting way to review a film

The critic spends three paragraphs talking about himself before bothering to even mention the film. That is not a good sign.

What do you expect from some anti-Indian Fake/lame NRI Status Quo filling journalist?

Good movie

Come on I enjoyed the movie though I admit the diarrhea scene was a bit gross but otherwise this is a movie which will hugely appeal to the urban convent educated 20 somethings. Guys this is 21st century India. Things have changed.This is reality. Do you still want to watch an Amitabh or a Rajni bashing up 20 people with a stupid useless heroine in the background??

You can fool some of the people all the time (Peepli Live), You can fool all of the people some of the time (Dhobi Ghat), but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time (Delhi belly).

Aamir thinks he is the only intelligent person around and all the people watching movies are fools and can digest anything that he presents.

Do you still want to watch lame uncultured filth that appeals to some lame born out-of-wedlock child like Aseem Pedobbra?

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.
