Erotic comedy is a well known genre in Hollywood movies, but toilet comedy is a very rare phenomena. People were not sure whether toilet comedies will be appreciated or it will create repulsive reaction. Seeing the response this movie is receiving, it is clear that public has truly moved far away from Victorian morality code – toilet is too personal for the public display or discussion. That is the words like bullshit could not be used in the academic circle, to protect the sanctity of the place, even though it is used freely in day to day language, anyway now we are coming of age as human beings.
Sigmund Freud had long back analyzed the importance of toilet training in his personality development theory. According to him, this stage plays important role in defining a person either to become orderly or chaotic, generous or stingy.
Delhi Belly breaks the myth that a film must have strong story line. It just takes one event and narrates its implications in the life of 3 youngsters. Toilet plays a major role in the film, and it is the mover and shaker of the story. Basically it is a David Dhawan type of film - feel good film- but told in a background of modern life with post modern approach to film making. The best thing about the movie is that audiences somehow connect with the film fully.
Even though toilet is a main aspect of human life, for long we shied away from discussing about it in the living room, now Amir has done it in a style.
