this is a kind of a movie that the today youth wants....its not like that every body not knows what they want but in the end will they get it? its is about how the youth of India reacts....some will want to change the country but not knowing that their morals r right or wrong..if u r a youth or a sensible person then watch this...other wise u will only enjoy the utter common dialogs...which totally like u speaks with your friend... film is about the delhi university politics....and the work by the directer is awesome..i think its a masterpiece....
I watched it a couple of times over, and no matter how much I try to look "deep" into the "thoughtful" aspects of this flick, no answer came up to me.This seems to be an utterly confusing movie from an equally confused director! Seriously, what does this try to depict? Does it wanna depict true love? Conflict between love and sex? Yes to some extent, but it jumbles up the plot so irreparably that it's utterly impossible to get the "message".In short, watch this stuff if you wanna get a taste of how a director blows up what could possibly have been an awesome movie!
Dil Dosti Etc was picked up by my two sons who were very enthusiastic about the film on seeing it. There was a guilt pleasure they took and I though this is a private joke between them. However, I decided to watch the film and see what my sons are up to the only thing I had heard when the film got released was that it had Nasiruddin Shah's son and made by Prakash Jha with a new director.I was greatly surprised to see the faces of my favorite Shreyas Talpade a small time actor who has got the talent and the incredibly talented Smriti Mishra who has apparently returned to the screen after eons. The greatest feat is the casting and the credit goes to the producer and director for doing so. It is a novel story about young people in modern India. The story is around a challenge of a boy being challenged by his friend to have sex with three women in a day it is difficult to pin point how but this challenge is able to put across the loss of direction the young people face today. It is one of the subtlest film I have seen on ambitions of youth, of cultural diversity we live, and the anxiety these young kids have away from their parental quarters.Nasiruddin Shah's son Imaad Shah gives a very understate performance against more vocal character portrayed by Sheyas Talpade. A great delight is to see Smriti Mishra as the colourful prostitute in red light area of Delhi. Other characters have done a great job too I'll always remember the schoolgirl, her lover, the loud school teacher and the setting of this film. This must have been a film on small budget and one looks forward what the film makers give us next.
Horrible screenplay, under defined characters and wasted talent..Ishitta and Nikita look cute but thats probably not something that wud compell a person to watch the movie... Shreyas Talpade is wasted in the role... Until the last 10 min of movie, he comes across as a Power Hungry politician and as soon as his girl-friend sleeps with his friend, he starts claiming the importance of his principles...Totally pointless !! I am having second thoughts about the one star... But its too much trouble to make it a zero now...Skip the movie and avoid wasting couple of hours of ur life!
