Well as the name suggests, this is about the recently released movie Dil Dosti etc by Manish Tiwary and Prakash Jha. There is just one thing I would say to it. BRILLIANT!!! Probably this review is more as a result of a bias that i have towards life @ Delhi University. Anyways, I personally think that this movie is a must watch for all Delhi University students who are non delhiites.
Other expert reviews of the movie have criticised it for slow pace but I disagree. Another reason why I particularly like the movie is because it can be very closely related to one of my all time fav movie "Hazaron Khwahishien Aisi". In a way i think Dil Dosti is a prelouge to Hazarron ...... In the most subtle manner, it depicts the various moods of Delhi University and the interaction of the atmosphere with the students' life (which already carries a baggage of cultures and ethos with it) therein. Such a movie could only have been made by a DU student and not much to my surprise, the director Manish Tiwary is was a student of Hindu College, Delhi University.
The character of Sanjay Mishra (Shreyas Talpade) can eb closely related to that of what Kay Kay Menon played in Hazaroon.... while that of Apoorva (Naseruddin Shah's son) is something I would attribute to Vikram Malhotra (Shyney Ahuja).
The movie is a good sail back into ones graduation days with all memories flshing back. Maybe among all characters in the movie, one can connect oneself with someone. It reminds one of all the many questions which seemed unanswerable, all challenges which seemed difficult, our priorities then and now........ A must watch.......
