Dil Dosti Etc..

It was half past 3 on the clock and just in 2 more hours it was going to be the sunrise.It was time for me to go to bed (as usual). Just a bit of curiousity drove me to click on the netscan search button .And I found the feast of that night.

Dil Dost Etc..

heard about this movie before. On rediff it was a thumbs down and on TOI another thumbs down .I say “screw u both rediff and TOI”. It was really a nice movie that made my night out a worthy one. the film juxtaposes the 'new/ liberal' and the 'old/ conservative' in our society. and shows really
“When you are young, you believe, the possibilities are endless...”

Getting in to movie,in a nutshell it’s the story of a “confused” “careless” and “c” lad who is “spoilt’ “simple” and “starving” for love. Meet Apurv (Imaad Shah)Son of a wealthy father and a “more spoilt” mother.he steps in to DU and these character follow him in the movie.

The best thing to love about in this movie is the charecter Sanjay mishra (Shreyas Talpade). Oh man I just love him. An absolute genius actor. As a student leader is his fame and name in DU.Mishra mishra is the anthem.. He represents the romantic and the idealist who steadfastly pursues his political goals.protective and “less philosophy more practical” type character. He makes a challenge with Apurv if he could lay down 3 women in one day and that made the movie.

The three female leads - that of a prostitute (Smriti Mishra), a school girl and a rich model, provide a myriad of social and emotional backdrops to the film. Vaisali (Smriti Mishra) plays an attractive but sharp-tongued prostitute. She claims never to get emotionally attached to her customers. Then there is the precocious school girl Kintu (Ishitta Sharrma), who coquettishly remains noncommittal to Apurv's flirtations and plays hard to get. Prerna (Nikita Anand) is the rich South Delhi babe who aspires to become an international model, and yet finds herself attracted to the earthy and charismatic student-politician, Sanjay.

And finally the narrator himself Apurv.This guy is a “confession of a dangerous mind”.He makes life miserable for him but does not care.”Its nothing yar” is his answer to his each blunder. He carves for love every moment but never gets it.

Prakash Jha did a splendid on bringing the real life of DU campus and the innate introspection of a confused mind. The youth and how danger it is when not guided.Still the movie could have been done a lil better by cutting those cheap song scenes and a little more deep study of Apurv’s character. still kudos to jha.( and of course to Shreyas Talpade)

if u have watched ‘haasil” and had a taste of campus bloody politics scenario. watch this movie to know the student life in DU and explore the very nature of friendship, male bonding, voyeurism, sexual perversion, love and betrayal.

Recommended for watching.
