Then again, aesthetics are not the strong point for a filmmaker who has build his repertoire sensationalising the stark segments of society.

Speaking of which, snagging Gulzar's lyrical prowess to headline a mediocre script or decorate the backdrop of bland sequences hardly qualifies Bhandarkar and his flimsy sense of humour as novelty or realistic. And intelligent Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji is not, by any shred of imagination - yours, mine or borrowed. To warm up with, what sort of a tag-line is 'Love grows, men don't' anyway? Maybe it's a coded metaphor to indicate Bhandarkar's limitations as a filmmaker or a warning sign that urges us to dispel any hope of intelligence. You know what's funny? That Madhur Bhandarkar actually thought he'd get away with this. PS: Though the title borrowed from the song in "Ishqiya" its my firm belief that the characters from the original (Naseeruddin & Arshad Warsi) aptly justified "Dil Toh Baccha Hain Ji" when it came to the matters of heart.Sukanya Verma reviews Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji. Madhur should stick to doing what he is best, the slice-and-dice genre. A few songs are quite hummable and neatly blend with the storyline. The screenplay could have been tighten up a bit in conjunction with some chopping on the editing table to chase away the predictability factor. Paresh Rawal intro, a novelty, hardly contributes. Tisca Chopra and Emraan Hashmi clearly stand out on the acting front and practically steal the thunder from the rest. Emraan's performance is very smooth and I guess he has a flair for these type of roles. Some good tongue-in-cheek lines add icing to cake. Practical, suave and slimy character to which the layers are well fleshed out. ʘ Emraan Hashmi:: A believable character whom you would bump into everyday life.

ʘ Mukesh Tiwari was wasted ʘ Tisca Chopra: The role of trophy wife who has mastered the skill to achieve the best of both both worlds is effortlessly played by Tisca Chopra with a rare maturity. ʘ Shweta Salve attempts a la Rekha of "Parineeta" and croons a number on similar lines. ʘ Shruti K Hassan: Honestly she has got what it takes to give Kats & Sonam a real tough fight, should she give up her condescending attitude and lighten up a bit. ʘ Shraddha Das: Dangling between the head and heart she gives an honest performance.

Her makeup, costumes and effervescence brighten up the Lolita character and make forty plus go head-over-heels. His poems/ poetry are worse I have heard in recent years and definitely warranted good some good writing on that front. The script has been tweaked to incorporate the videsi singing "Mera Bharat Mahaan/ Aamchi Mumbai/ Jai Maharashtra" slogans. His performance barely qualifies for an average.

The same cannot be said in this movie (sad). Editing to blame perhaps? ʘ Omi Vaidya: Raju Hirani and Aamir Khan deserve being accredited to extract a fantabulous performance from "the silencer" in 3-Idiots. Sadly the character comes across very much linear and serves no purpose as the plot moves along. ʘ Rituparna Sengupta: As a news reporter undergoing a mutual consent divorce sans alimony I expected the role to have multiple facets. Devgan seems to be under a big misnomer that off-late his signature style constipated look qualifies for acting. Him falling heads-over-heels for a girl half his age and undergoing an image makeover is inspired from "American Beauty" (hold your horses don't expect the rose petals which I suppose could have flipped the Indian censor board). ʘ Ajay: The mid-life crisis of a banker battling a divorce on personal front is well depicted. At the outset the outing seems to be on the lines of the classics we have witnessed from the house of Hrishikesh Mukherjee & Basu Chatterjee. Obviously more than the expectations, it was the curiosity on his faring that made me have a go at "Dil Toh Baccha Hain Ji". Bhandarkar, considering the fact that he bears a monopoly of a self-invented genre which involves cherry-picking a cross-section of the society and present a multi-dimensional view. Venturing into the comedy is a road less travelled for Mr.
