Anyone who has checked out the stash of movies legally available on Youtube can see it is full of crap. Occasionally one finds something mediocre-to-good in it like Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji (दिल तो बच्चा है जी) for example. This is a romantic comedy directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. The movie puts three odd grown men under a single roof, united in their quest for love. Ajay Devgan is a dominated husband who has been divorced by his wife. Emraan Hashmi is looking for his next sugar mommy. Omi Vaidya (Chatur from 3 Idiots) is a romantic working at a matrimonial company. All three end up falling in love, but will it be reciprocated?

Despite some soppy parts, Madhur manages to squeeze out a good comedy in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji. What I cannot understand is why he needs to make stereotypical depictions of homosexuality in it! Ajay Devgan shines and the rest of the cast delivers. Music-thief Pritam has given some good tracks: Abhi Kuch Dino Se, Tere Bin and Jadugari are on my playlist. Though nothing like Madhurkar’s other controversial movies, Dil To is a good funny movie to see sometime.
