Dil to Bacha Hai Ji - Preview

Dil to Bacha Hai Ji

quick review: Mediocre lines are converted to lame by some awful timing and some rock-solid misdirection. Save a couple of interesting characters performed well, there's nothing at all watchable in this 150-minute ordeal.

No one can be blamed if they look for a theme when they are out to watch a Madhur Bhandarkar film. So here's the million-dollar question - what do you think is the theme of the Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, here's a trailer to help with your guesses.

Men ogling at women with plenty of thought bubbles at their disposal. **snicker**

Nastiness aside, there seems to be an office environment but I seriously doubt the setting has anything to do with the three male leads hit by love. It actually will be refreshing to see Madhur Bhandarkar try a rom-com. And if the following snippets from the trailer are anything to go by, it looks like there will be a light and breezy com and the rom won't be a disgusting mush.

What is also highlighted is that the woman don't look like they'll have much to do and whatever they do only highlights that they are awful actors. Which also means the need for crisp dialogues is even stronger. The promos do give a glimpse of decent writing. As in, we sort-of know what the three men are like. Or at least we can take a fair guess on what their ideas about love, sex, marriage and everything that goes along are likely to be.

Just the kind of movie that could be full of clichés and yet has the potential to keep that smile on while it lasts.

Music reviews:

milliblog - "Peppy, enjoyable score from Pritam."

music aloud - "Though the soundtrack lacks a song that matches the class of the song the movie borrowed its title from, Pritam produces an engaging fare for Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji."

Apun Ka Choice - ""

Bollyspice - "2/5"

Kalyan:

The last two lines more or less convinced me not to watch this. Thanks, as always, for saving my money and time.

meetu:

@Swetha :P

@Kalyan glad to be of help!

Better Living Tips:

Agar Facebook nahi hota to Anu's life(Emraan's girl friend) would have been saved. Internet now needs a personal lock and key. What do the others say?

meetu:

Ha ha! I'm sure Anu would have found something else to occupy herself :D

Download Free:

umm just want to say its also nice movie, watch n enjoy.

Priyesh:

Not so bad movie. Just watched the movie without any expectations and it was nice.

Better Living Tips:

I am sure that something would have been something truly personalized so that people like Emraan could not get to see her status and catch upon her at the veterinarian's place. What do the others say?

Bollywood:

I think its a different and nice movie really like the acting of Ajay devgan.

S.K.:

I feel that such good actors and a niche director wanted to make chicken biryani. But it turned out to be chicken khichdi. Wo bhi jali hui. In the end you dont feel sad for the guys but for yourself that you are watching it for some 173 minutes. And after paying for it from your pocket. And having drinks and sex is shown like changing dresses. Wake up sid! i mean madhur.
