Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji is a
slice of life film about three men - Naren, Milind and
Abhay and their encounters with love!
There is an apparent resemblance to the much-acclaimed
Basu Chatterjee’s 1981 romantic comedy Shaukeen which
had three older men trying to get naughty in their
elderly age. Here we have three middle-aged men in a
real life day to day situation, trying to explore the
love and lust aspect of their lives.
A listless Naren Ahuja (Ajay Devgn), 38, working as a
bank manager, is going through a divorce. He is going
through a 'mid-life crisis". He has a job that he hates
and a marriage that's falling apart. All he needs is
some love to infuse freshness into his boring, listless
life.
Abhav Suri (Emraan Hashmi), is originally from Delhi and
works as a gym trainer in Mumbai. 'Love' is a feeling that's alien to him and
'commitment' is a word he has never heard. All Abhay wants is money and women.
Being a rich married woman’s boyfriend Abhay had his all lavish expenses
managed from the elite lady Anushka Narang (Tisca Chopra).
A charming casanova Abhav, 28, starts feeling an
alien emotion called love, when he feels increasingly drawn towards Nikki
Narang (Shrutti Hassan), a modern girl who knows her needs and speaks her
mind. Nikki is a 23 year old US return girl who has found her true calling in
service towards humanity. Intelligent and well-read, she is mature beyond her
age and knows what she wants out of life. Unfortunately for Abhay, Nikki turns
out to be Anushka Narang’s daughter.

Naren falls in love with a vibrant and bubbly June Pinto
(Shazahn Padamsee) who has just stepped out of her teens.
June is a vivacious and impulsive 21 year old girl. She is
full of happiness and life! She works as an intern at a
bank where Naren is the bank manager. Raised by her
granny, she is sweet, innocent and childlike!
Going through divorce proceedings, Naren leaves his abode
and starts living in his parents' house. Being along in
life, he decides to let out a few rooms on rent as well.
Abhay and Milind are thrown out of their rented apartments
and they both land up as paying guests for Naren. Hence,
the three of them start living together.
Milind Kelkar (Omi Vaidya), a
naive poet and an idealistic lover, is enamoured by an
ambitious and practical Gungun Sarkar (Shradha Das) who is
determined to follow her dreams. Milind, 30, is an
idealist when it comes to love. He works with a
matrimonial website and searches for perfect grooms and
brides for his clients but is yet to find one for himself!
A self confessed virgin, Milind is a true-blue romantic
who expresses himself through his poetry.
Belonging to Kolkata, Gungun
works in Mumbai as a radio jockey but aspires to be famous
someday and make her mark as an actress. A focused
individual, she is determined to make her dreams come
true.
Ajay is naturally versatile, effortlessly underpaying his
part. Emraan, keeps up to his lady chaser image on screen,
while the endearing Omi Vaidya plays his character with
earnestness.
About the girls, its Shazahn
the discovery, who is the attractive PYT in the office.
She adds freshness in the story, while Shraddha is rightly
the practical struggling girl. Shruti Hassan has few
amusing scenes with Emraan and Tisca Chopra is appealing
in her upper class character.
Once again, Madhur Bhandarkar comes up with an
entertaining film with real life like characters and
relatable situations this time his flick takes a humorous
look at love and the extent people will go to dodge or
conquer it.
Though certified as 'Adults Only' by the Censors, there is
a lot of adult and bold is visible in the television soaps
these days, hence we have categorized it as suitable for
General Audience.
