Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Most of Delhi Belly raises a smile, (a few guffaws can be had as well), even if you feel like holding your nose through it. Rated: 3/5 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Lisa Tsering Hollywood Reporter Sexy, filthy and thoroughly entertaining comedy marks a welcome shift in contemporary Indian cinema. Jul 5, 2011 Full Review Rachel Saltz New York Times Shows, perceptively and often sweetly, a broader slice of young, urban, educated life in India as the three deal with careers, love and happiness. Rated: 3/5 Jul 1, 2011 Full Review Kanishk Devgan Film Companion The film is a fun, dark, almost-screwball comedy, with a good balance of silly and witty. Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad annavetticadgoes2themovies ...frank, funny, in-your-face, unapologetic and unafraid. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 9, 2021 Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India Delhi Belly is a fine example of how the brightest and the boldest, when they pool in their talent, can create a film that is guaranteed to give you your money's worth, even as it re-writes all the moth-balled rules of an ageing industry. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Jincy G One of the best bollywod movie, world was never ready for this movie. will stay a classic ever. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Tarun R 2011 such magnificent black comedy bollywood movie cast performance is natural overall this movie fun ride Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Let's go back 10 years in time. This film was about to get released. The song DK Bose just came out. And...there was outrage! How dare a film show adult scenes and have filthy language!? And it has a big name like Aamir Khan attached to it, someone we only knew for family entertainment. It was given terrible reviews for not being a family friendly film. It barely succeeded and isn't even available on Google Play Movies. Cut to today, everyone aspires to be this. It changed the mindset of Indians by being different from the crowd. Delhi Belly is excellent in everything. Although I was a bit disgusted by the butt shots in the beginning, it slowly gained pace and then went all out. The music that we were so much grown into liking, it turns out all of that was only made for promotion. The actual film was simply a laughter riot with one entertaining shot after another. There wasn't one scene which felt cheesy, out of place or simply didn't make me laugh. The comic timing, the background score, the cinematography, the acting - everything was put together so well that it turned out to be the best film I have watched from 2011 (seriously, that year Bollywood was giving one dud after another). I don't want to get too much into the spoilers of the story, since the impact of this film can only be truly felt if you know nothing about it. Just go in it blindly and experience one thing after another. The scenes from the songs really made me want to know the context, like when the goon is pulling Vir Das by his tie and making him choke in DK Bose, or when Imran Khan whacks a flowerpot on Rahul Singh's head in Sweety Sweety. And when those scenes actually came, I felt like the Leonardo DiCaprio meme where he's pointing at the screen. It really amazes me how the Indian mindset is changing so quickly. In just ten years this film went from sparking controversies for its liberal storytelling in a conservative country to having a cult classic status all adult comedies aspire to achieve. Shows and films which are being targeted today for making fun of religion will also be looked back at with nostalgia, when the mindset will evolve further. I think this is the film that will be put forward as an example of Bollywood changing people's mindset for years to come. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review yash b I think it is admirable that "Delhi Belly" tries to be something different when compared to the rest of Indian cinema. However, I really don't think it is enough to make it a worthwhile movie. I think the movie is definitely crude but not particularly funny. The story feels pretty uninvolving and the characters are pretty dislikable. I did chuckle here and there but as a whole, I didn't really find too much enjoyment in the movie. I think this is primarily due to how the humor feels like a bizarre blend of raunchy yet childish. The movie thinks it is being edgy but I think most of the jokes and gags came off as pretty immature. It's a mediocre comedy that I personally feel is pretty overrated, but I do respect it for trying to be something unique. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 100% entertaining with logic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice surprise. A movie you won't forget for longtime. Very entertaining and well acted. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/17 Full Review Read all reviews
