Reviews

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Anubhav Kumar Anything Delhi to me is worth watching. Whether it was Chashme Buddoor or Dev D or Khosla Ka Ghosla. I am a born and brought up Delhiite so to me I feel something special about Delhi based flicks.Dil Dosti Etc starts off with a promise. Imaad's character Apurv talking to himself ala Tadpole. And within minutes these sequences of him talking to himself become meaningless. And you realize you are dealing with a screenplay that is half baked and rushed. Some people are great at art... but don't have the ability to come up with interesting ideas. Thats what the problem is with this movie's screenplay.Imaad's acting skills need polish. If his personality and lifestyle is of this off center 'alternative' pseudo intellectual skinny rock n roller who listens to a few alternative indie bands... then this isn't a role for him. You see him flirting in a silly way and in the movie he beds multiple women. At one point a character says to Kintu (his schoolkid girlfriend) that he can get any girl. I doubt that. This guy can barely get up in the morning. And he doesn't seem like a playboy who is a 'haraami' (bastard). And thats the dilemma. His characterization is half baked... and the sleepwalking act doesn't help.Shreyas Talpade might have signed this movie thinking it will be another 'Haasil'. Sadly his character is equally half baked. At one point he seems like a good doer.. at another point he seems like a crazy jealous maniac who will kill his girlfriend (who is a model) that she cant wear a bikini... and at the end he seems like a heartbroken kid who was betrayed.The characters of women are hardly explored. Kintu (Ishita Sharma) wants to fall in love/lose her virginity... Prerna (Nikita Anand) wants to be a super model (has awkward conversations with dad about it) and betrays her relationship with Sanjay (Shreyas) coz he refused to sleep with her 'once'. And then there's the talented Smriti Mishra who plays a prostitute and gives what she can to another half baked role about a prostitute who falls for Shreyas.All in all... the story and screenplay are the biggest culprits. Then there's the direction and poor editing which neither gets intellectual, nor dramatic, nor funny/crass. Imaad's acting (as he is the central character) doesn't help either.5/10
kjcreativeeye20 the good point about this movie is that it totally based on real life and no Indian spices will added to this movie. about acting department all are good. new shah are impressive. but i think the direction department is not good i can't understand what actually movie about , what kind of message actually it gave. if the film based on real life then it should contain clear message.location was good. it used real life location. no modification will be used.Songs was not impressive.Casting was good. watching movie. cinematography is good.watchable movie watchable movie time pass movie. hot scene is not well picked. ending of this films is not good.
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.
Prady D 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!
