Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Chrysanthepop It's been a while since I've seen something as boring as Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji'. With this movie, the director has attempted to do something different from what he's usually comfortable with and he steals the title from one of last year's most popular soundtracks 'Ishqiya'. Anyway, the movie focuses on the lovelife of three housemates that include a divorcée banker, a promiscuous gym instructor and a virgin who works at a wedding agency.It tries to be bold by addressing themes about the relationship between an older man and younger woman, an older women and a younger man etc etc. The script lacks spice and slow. Most of the jokes fall flat despite desperately trying to be witty and clever. The characters do little to hold interest and I could hardly care whether they would get the girl or not. Moreover, the movie moves at an incredibly slow pace.Where acting is concerned, Ajay Devgan is passable in a dull role. Emraan Hashmi is irritating. Tisca Chopra stands out as the trophy wife/ cougar. Shruti Hassan is adequate. Shradha Das has poor diction. Shazahn Padamsee is competent. Rituparna Sengupta is wasted. Omi Vaidya steals the show.In the end it's film toh boring hai ji.

drsnehithmd First of all i need to say that i am not a fan of Mr.Bhandarkar's movies.His movies being realistic is pretty much a joke as all his movies are very superficial,but apart from that the only reason i watched this movie is due to ajay devgan,he's one of the most underrated actor of our times.Anyways the basic plot is 3 guys,a soon to be divorcée,a playboy and a poet leave their respective homes for different reasons and end up together in ajay devgan's house.soon they meet up 3 random women and fall in love.Will they succeed in finding true love forms the rest of the movie.Now the positives of the movie,the performances of ajay devgan,emran hashmi and omi vaidya are commendable and they save the movie from sinking immediately which the film ends up eventually.The performances of the women are nothing special to write about as they play the usual girlie characters,very forgetful ones.As i am a south Indian and i do believe one should not give up their local language so the preference given to marathi is appreciated.Music is okay.Dialogues are surprisingly witty,modern and intelligent.Direction is okay. Now the negatives,the usual fault of the director that is to be superficial in his approach to story telling,there is absolutely no character development.The poor guys don't even realize why they keep losing in love.The movie is all about running behind women,giving lifts to women and providing money when in need,does this make women fall in love,i don't think so.In trying to be too modern in his approach to show how his characters should behave the director loses his grip on realism.Being a guy i did have a few laughs during the movie but ended up being depressed for all the men by the end of the movie.Watch the movie for the 3 actors performances and please stop saying that these kind of movies reflect the real India.

kunalkhandwala In a departure from his regular fare of reality inspired films, Madhur Bhandarkar indulges in the comic world with Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi and Omi Vaidya in this light hearted, refreshing entertainer, that is 'Dil toh bachha hai ji'. Accompanied by Pritam's pleasant tunes and good performances by all three actors, the film narrates the love seeking journeys of the room-mates while revealing their idiosyncrasies. Unlike his previous works, this one is hardly bold or bitter and it doesn't even prove his versatility in story telling. However, it succeeds in providing those laughs that come out of genuinely funny dialogues if not innovative situations. Naren (Ajay Devgan), a divorcée and an executive, finds his new room-mates in the form of Abhay (Emraan Hashmi) and Milind Kelkar (Omi Vaidya) who are two opposite individuals. While Abhay is the jobless playboy who lives on the favours of his one night stands, Milind, who works at a marriage bureau, believes in marriage only after love and sex only after marriage. Naren has an innocent crush on his new secretary who is 17 years younger but finds it difficult to blend into her lifestyle. While his age-gap challenges his feelings, Abhay's audacity with a rich model of yesteryears enriches his own life with the perks that come along. Then we have Milind, playing the sincere simpleton for whom, his love exceeds all limitations and his perseverance, all his budgets. Each of them have a love story in the making but they just cannot seem to make it come their way. Through their experiences, we get some giggles and some laughs while Bhandarkar refrains from adding any seriousness that would weigh the otherwise thin plot down. Pritam's melodious score keeps the mood subtle and hummable. Tu khwab hai ya jaadugari comes a little too often but is melodious nevertheless. Tere Bin is a good come back for Sonu Nigam with some real singing while all the attention falls upon the beautiful Shruti Haasan on whom it is partly picturized. The film's outstanding song Abhi Kuch dino se is performed by Mohit Chauhan who continues his unstoppable run.The actors do more justice than what the script and story asked for and Devgan leads the pack impressively with his innocent performance showing teenager like attributes while avoiding the over-the-top 'Golmaal' comic avatar. Omi Vaidya excels at his tailor-made role which he gets absorbed into. We would love to see more of him this year and hopefully, in more comedies. Emraan Hashmi has come a long way with his acting and after 'Once upon a time in Mumbai', he proves yet again, that it's not only the music in his films, but his performance too, deserves appreciation. Shazahn Padamsee has the cheesiest dialogues that are overdone. Tisca Chopra is good in her role but it is Shruti Haasan's beauty (credited to Sarika) and bold persona that captures one's attention. Madhur Bhandarkar wasn't making a comedy like 3 idiots. It was not meant to be a didactic experience, nor was there any guidance to real living. But by avoiding ridiculous situations and corny dialogues that are the basis of most comedies, he ensures that there isn't a boring moment in the film, no matter the lack of nuance and originality.7.63 on scale of 1-10.

Kumar Sapkota I think the movie reviews about this movie on IMDb is very misleading. This movie is in fact very unique and very good. It has a different plot compared to other comic romantic movies and is totally enjoyable. All lead actors have done a wonderful job and kudos to the director. I enjoyed every second of the 2 hours well spent watching this incredible piece of art anticipating whats next in the plot. I think the movie deserves more than one viewing. This is my first review in IMDb. I don't know what to write more about this movie. I don't know whatelse to write to meet the 10 lines requirement of IMDb. But the movie is superb. Most watch for Indian movie goers.
