Madhur says he have slaughted DTBHJ

The censors liked his recent released film but they also thought that the content was adult. They wanted a lot of dialogue muted. Madhur Bhandarkar who wanted to send the prints of the film overseas once thought that if he had gone in for any changes in a hurry. However, the filmmaker have ended up slaughting the movie.

So, left with no option he had to settle for an ‘A’ certificate without any cuts. Dil To Baccha Hai Ji revolves around a 38-year-old divorcee enacted by Ajay Devgn in love with a 21-year-old, a womanizer played by Emraan Hashmi who doesn’t believe in commitment, and an idealist (Omi Vaidya) who was in search for true love. This rom-com is a reflection to today’s generation that keeps on talking about virginity, pornography and betrayal.

Madhur Bhandarkar told that he have bagged National Awards for movies like Chandni Bar, Page 3, Traffic Signal and Fashion. The filmmaker puts the question that what we’ll do with these outdated censorship laws as a ten year old kid also like the film, that means that the child must have seen it at home.

Madhur with a different script this time

After making hard-hitting films to his credit like Page 3, Fashion, Jail and Corportae, Madhur Bhandarkar just thought to shock the audiences this time with a different kind of cinema. The filmmaker is these days busy in promoting Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji which is set to hit theaters on January 26, 2011.


The movie stars Omi Vaidya, Emraan Hashmi, Shruti Hassan, Shazahn Padamsee, Ajay Devgn and Shraddha Das playing lead roles. Madhur Bhandarkar, a three-time national award winning director, mentioned that though the flick was different from his earlier works, it was still a realistic comedy. ”Dil To Baccha Hai Ji” is not a senseless comedy.

Everybody in the film make you feel that it is the tale of a person who one can identify with. The director liked the films of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee, and Madhur have always thought a day will come when he will also make one. When asked if it was difficult to make a comedy, he aver that it’s not a easy task to make people laugh through comedies, and especially through a film like ''Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji''. But, he has made an attempt and we wish that audience would love him for his work this time too!!!

Madhur turns reporter

The director who is a three times National Award Winning Indian Film maker and script writer have made successful movies like Fashion, Page 3, Traffic Signal, Corporate, Satta, Chandni Bar, Jail, etc.is now looking forward to direct dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji, starring Ajay Devgan and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles.


During an interview with a renowned channel few days back, ace Bollywood director Madhur Bhandarkar took the microphone of the channel and started interviewing the stars of his upcoming film Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji. Emraan Hashmi and Ajay Devgn were supposed to be on the other side being grilled by the filmmaker, but the actors interrogated the director instead. But all this was done is good humour. Madhur Bhandarkar asked Ajay about his character in the movie DTBHJ. To this Ajay replied that the director of the movie asked him to act like him completely.

He wanted Ajay to play him, a 38-years-old falling in love with a 20-years-old. Hearing this Emraan Hashmi cracked up and the director was shocked and started laughing. When Emraan was asked the same question by Madhur, Emraan immediately asked Madhur to ask a sizzling question. Emraan was asked by Ajay whether the director taught him how to kiss in the movie? To this the star answered that as everyone knows that Madhur makes realistic cinema and he wanted to add his touch to everything. So even though Emraan knew how to kiss on screen he used to show him how to kiss each actress. The trio could not stop laughing for as long as the interview lasted. We wish that this time too Madhur who plays safe would have a hit this time too….
