Madhur Bhandarkar has made remarkable films. 'Chandni Bar, 'Page 3', 'Satta', 'Jail', were killer films, which just proved how talented of a storyteller he is. But like 'Fashion', 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' is a letdown from this accomplished, National-Award-Winning Filmmaker!
'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' is a tale of 3 men, who are in search for true love. To give it's due, the film begins well, and the characters are established fairly. But, The problems begin right after the things get established, the film gets very monotonous and begins to bore. The second hour is a downer, and the climax leaves you in mixed emotions.
Madhur Bhandarkar's Screenplay is monotonous and lacks pace. His direction, there-after, gets limited. Cinematography is just right, while Music by Pritam Chakraborty, is lively.
Performance-Wise: Ajay Devgn performs well, as always. Emraan Hashmi is decent, but Omi Vaidya doesn't work. Shazahn Padamsee looks fine, but fails to engage as a performer. Shraddha Das is efficient. Shruti Haasan is below average in a brief role. Tisca Chopra is passable. Rituparna Sengupta, Aditya Raj Kapoor, Mukesh Tiwari & Daisy Irani are wasted.
On the whole, an unexpected letdown!
