Be it Chandni Bar, Page 3, Traffic Signal or Fashion, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar's movies have always stood out for their story and characterisation as well as his mastery in dissecting life to its bare and realistic best.
His next, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji (presented by Bhandarkar Entertainment and Wide Frame Pictures), though a light-hearted comedy, boasts of equally well-etched-out, deliciously quirky characters that are ready to touch your heart. A quick look at the three guy characters in the film will immediately bolster this truth.
The movie has an ensemble cast comprising Ajay Devgn, who is playing the role of a man who has filed for divorce, and has been paired opposite Shazahn Padamsee. Ajay is known for his comic timing and his role of Naren Ahuja, a manager at a multinational bank whose chance meeting with an impulsive, vivacious girl named June Pinto to whom he's attracted immediately, will leave you in splits. Naren even changes his geek look to become suave in the film to win the girl. "It is a film for one and all. The youth will relate to it very well, all the three characters are drawn up fabulously. It is comedy with a soul, the subtle, intelligent sense of humour simply can't go amiss. I can trust this one to touch everyone," he says.
Emraan Hashmi plays a bachelor 'Abhay' and is a true-blue Casanova whose life revolves around wooing women. He is paired opposite Shruti Hassan (Nikki). He is not qualified enough and works as a trainer in a gym to make ends meet. Emraan tells TOI, "After playing a lot of intense brooding characters this subject seemed like the ideal pick for me to venture into a different kind of romantic comedy. In fact, it is my first proper romantic comedy too. It's a film that will make you laugh, make you cry, and if you have ever been in love, this one's a must watch."
The 3 Idiots wonder Omi Vaidya is another ace up Madhur's sleeve. He plays Milind Kelkar, who works in a matrimonial website and is searching for true love. An idealist, Milind meets his dream girl in Gungun (played by debutant hottie Shraddha Das), a radio jockey wanting to be a famous actress. Omi says excitedly, "When I heard that Madhur wanted to cast me for this film, there was no way I could say no because Madhur's films and characters are realistic and their feelings are universal. Since my breakout role and the success of 3 Idiots, everyone has been waiting enthusiastically and expectantly for my next film."
Produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Bhandarkar Entertainment, the music of the film is credited to Pritam. DTBHJ is slated to release on January 28. Talking about his film, Madhur adds, "Struggling to cope with modern women and contemporary relationships, these three men go through a fun-filled roller coaster ride of emotions with its constant highs and lows that usually accompany love. This is the first time that I am making a slice-of-life romantic comedy and I hope that as people have loved my earlier films, they will definitely accept this movie too."
