Madhur Bhandarkar’s films are always known to create a buzz across the industry. His new offering is completely out of the box for his genre of Cinema. Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji sees the reunion of Ajay devgn and Emraan hashmi after their commercial success “Once upon a time in India”. The film explores the life of three individuals Naren Ahuja (Ajay Devgn), playboy Abhay Suri (Emraaan Hashmi) and Milind Kelkar (Omi Vaidya). Abhay and Milind are paying guests in Naren’s house.
The film starts off well with the sketches of the characters setting the right tempo. Funny man Paresh rawal’s voice over adds to the curiosity of the film. Naren ahuja{ajay devgn} falls for a girl who works as a internee played by Shazahn padamsee in his bank after getting divorced from his ex -wife. Abhay suri {Emraan hashmi} dons the role of a gym instructor/play boy. His story takes a twist when America return Nikki narang {Shruthi haasan} comes to India. Guess what he really falls for Nikki. Milind kelkar {Omi} is a poet digging out the funniest lines as one can hear. He also works in a Matrimonial site called ZhatpatShaadi.com. He falls for radio jockey Gungun Sarka {Shraddha das} who is an ultimate opportunist using Milind for all her works.
Ajay devgn excels in his role as usual. He’s tryst with comedy off late is paying off. Emraan cake walks in his role getting good lines. He is also back to his Smooching days. Omi reshuffles in his 3idiots role. He also speaks Marathi in the film. Shazahn delivers a laudable performance. Haasan is yet to start off her acting career after this film. Shraddha’s role as radio jockey and opportunist pays off well. Tiscan chopra, one of the supporting lead effortlessly portrays her character.
Well the problem with the film would be its placid second half. One wonders that he‘s dragged into the film. The film which was touted to be a romantic realistic comedy loses its way in the latter half. The writing if better would have certainly saved the film. Prittam’s music is utterly disappointing. Ravi walia’s photography is commendable. At the end of the day Madhur should realize that this genre is not his cup of tea, better he sticks to his previous genre.
Considering films coming to TV very early these days it would be good for audience to watch this flick at home.
