Delhi Belly.. Shit does not happen until you produce it....


Did you like Delhi belly??

You must have, if you are a school or college student, mostly in the range of higher secondary to graduation. This is the time when you feel you are becoming liberal in your behaviour, for you have started using infamously famous 'F-word', initially intentionally then casually and then frequently as if it has become a part of your vocabulary. You start using it as replacements of words you don't know or you are not able to remember.

When I used it first time while talking to a girl, it was my intention to look cool and to be abreast with new generation at every untouched aspect. When she looked into my eyes as if she questioned me 'Do you know what you said?', I felt my attempt was fishy and therefore complete failure. My friends could not teach me how to use it, as they always preferred deshi versions. They were the smarter lot than me. I still wonder how they used to talk to girls without using any smear words, when they use it very frequently amongst boys. I feel it's magic of split personality – clearly defined and visible, almost like a coin whose faces don't see each other ever. Things changed with time. So do boys and girls and their behaviour and vocabulary. And, so do I. Girls are now equally comfortable with boys as boys are with them in using 'F'. Addition of 'WTF' in Oxford dictionary is the sign of revolution, which we made possible. If you want you can acknowledge this, make a big grin and feel proud for your contribution to the society.

Fuck, I wandered a lot... Let us get back to the movie.

I saw Delhi Belly in English; biggest mistake to ruin my evening by listening F in every sentence, even when it was not required. It should have been used as a weapon to emphasize some dialogues, not all. Indian cinema don't know the meaning of cacophony; and it is true. Imagine a person sitting in a closed room is bound to listen same cacophonous word in every minute. Many would have felt the same thing. Even English movies don't use this much. Take any good standard English movie and check the dialog. You will realize the difference.

You can say that Indian movies are making us psuedo-liberal or we ourselves are converting us like this and giving a chance to movie-maker to do some experiments. Whatever may the results be, many things related to them have lost it meaning.

For me, Delhi belly was a disappointment, as it could not show me anything but a pile of shit. When shit happens you should know how to flush it; if you don't know, people will put handkerchiefs on their mouths and noses and turn the faces before giving you disgusting looks.
