Delhi Belly ? review

A daft but oddly enjoyable Bollywood farce about diamonds and bowel movements

The sheer daftness and goofiness of this Bollywood comedy-farce makes it likable. But you'll have to be in the mood. Aamir Khan produces and appears himself in a somewhat surreal sequence over the final credits. Three likely lads, Arun (Vir Das), Nitin (Kunaal Roy Kapur) and Tashi (Imran Khan) share a flat in Delhi and some dodgy food. Their consequently dodgy bowel movements lead to a stool sample and a secret stash of diamonds getting mixed up and sent to the wrong people: the time-honoured "switch" plot. Our heroes find themselves being menaced by a tough guy played by Vijay Raaz, who played the hapless wedding organiser Dubey in Mira Nair's 2001 Monsoon Wedding. As I say, you'll need to indulge the wackiness and absurdity, but there's something appealing about it.

Rating: 3/5
