Delhi Belly is a slick, madly crazy production that is mostly funny — although the humour will more likely appeal to the 20-something and perhaps 30-something public school educated, English speaking, big city audience that the film targets through its previews, videos and playful songs (from a spoof on K L Saigal’s voice, to one that may or may not allude to a curse word).
