vjrobs Dil Dosti Etc made under the banner of Prakash Jha explores vice and virtues of youthful life as it rightly proclaims, "when you are young, the possibilities are endless''. The movie has Shreyas Talpade(Sanjay Mishra) and Imaad Shah(Apoorv) in the male leads supported by Smriti Mishra (a prostitute in the movie), Ishitta Sharma(school girl, Kintu) and Nikita Anand (a rich model Prerna). The movie rests against a facetious bet between Apoorv and Snjay that former would manage to have sex with three girls in a day and the latter would win the college election. Shot extremely in the north campus of Delhi University, the movie touches the social and cultural issues which we face in recent times, like:-1. Difference of thinking between people of different strata of society (Sanjay vs Prerna)- A girl's preference to career rather than settling down. 2. Goals of life of people from different backgrounds. (Sanjay vs Apoorv)- Shreyas(from rural area in Bihar) is focused and want to win the college's president election while apoorv (cosmopilton guy) whiles his time in college trying to find the meaning of life.3. Viewing the girls mainly as a Sex Object- Apoorv's incessant in bedding every beautiful he see.Barring a few cons of the movie like lackadaisical performance of Imaad, forced bihari accent of Shreyas and poor editing, the movie is a decent watch. Thanks to its shocking treatment of its climax, which may raise many eyebrows, the movie may not be a disappointing watch!!
Srinivas Iyer This is a great film i saw on DVD. Most original story of our country.But the best things director gets it right is of side characters casting – there is that fat school teacher which is a classic. There is mom of school girl and the a working class guy who says i use it only to p*** now… when prostitute asks him to come with him. There are friends of Shreyas – blind guy, American dude, limping guy, guys from Bihar living out… i just know them all. Simply great casting. Gresat story and lines.The only (and only thing) I did not like was movie was too short… I wanted to see more of each of this side characters… Next promise to see his film first day first show.
Prateek Sharma Coldness of the lead actor (Imaad) really makes up for this movie who perfectly lays the foundation of undertones and implicit scenarios woven by this script. Each character whether its schoolgirl (Ishiita) or the prostitute (Vaishali)or even aspiring model (Nikita) is a built-up for the single question raised and rediscovered in the end of the movie. Provocative yet to the ground reality are the high features, but as usual tapping the best out of Shreyas Talpade would have lead to an archetype(...bollywood cinema...did I say that correctly??). This movie gives you a breathing space but the question remains.... Are you aware of it and seek that space?? I was and I liked the movie till the end.
abhinav sekawari Simply a great film seen on Indian Screen. Thoroughly enjoyed the film even if it needs the patience to see what the story teller is trying to show case… he very deftly builds up several characters who go to university in delhi… they come from different background and want different things in life. The two hero are from two mentalities one is small towner and wants to be a politician in college other is this characters who rummages through life and just wants to fulfill one basic need – sex! A great creation of environment, and subtle drama… that is so missing on Indian cinema. what is amazing about your film is that many many things you don't see if you don't bother things behind actors & lines said by people - . what I love and thank you is you don't have to give a message there is a distinct feeling when movie ends that you want to go back and see it again. We discussed why did sanjay die, and would happened if sanjay had actually lived? Highly recommended guys! (and girls! – you will see girls here who are making their own minds on romance, sex and career….) - Abhinav Sekawariv
