Movie Review: Delhi Belly (देहली बेली)

Delhi Belly Disco Fighter

Aamir Khan definitely stole the show as the Disco Fighter in Delhi Belly, which played Saturday night at the Castro Theatre as part of the 3rd i Film Festival (Dholrhythms and Rhythms of Punjab were both in the house).  But it didn't hurt that Akshat Verma, the writer of the film, and Shenaz Treasurywala, who plays Sonia, showed up to answer questions about the film's reception and Aamir Khan's role as both Disco Fighter and producer.


If you every wondered how three bachelors in Delhi might live, especially if they got mixed up with gangsters and diamonds while one of them suffers from a recurring case of Delhi Belly, well, this is your movie.  It's funny- really funny.  And it breaks some new ground in the sexuality and bathroom jokes department for Bollywood films.  Earth shattering- no.  Amusing- definitely.  And in case you really want to see Aamir Khan talking about how he got involved as the Disco Fighter and his thoughts about the song Bhaag DK Bose...
