Dil Dosti Etc (2007)



The character of Apurv (Immaduddin Shah) is probably one of its kind in bollywood. His nonchalance in the face of the shit that he gets himself into is remarkably portrayed. Father's son after all!! On the other hand, Sanjay Mishra (Shreyas Talpade) is cliched to the core. Director Manish Tiwary, probably wanted to exemplify the contrast, but to me it spelt disaster. The film lost its freshness and took on familiar hues.

There is no lesson in the movie, not that there should be one; rather i now appreciate the fact that there is no subtle preaching. It is just another example of how life can be, how different life can be for different people.

I enjoyed the movie, hassle free entertainment

Performance 8/10
Screenplay 8/10
Concept 7.5/10
Technical 8/10

Overall 7.9/10

i followed this film for a while and was very enjoyoble finale to this little known small movie. i liked the contrast.... it spelled for me the theme of the film. i agree imaad is good but so is shreyas. i like the ratings but i'll give 9/10 for direction. The story is new and direction is superb...
