Synopsis:
When you are young, you believe, the possibilities are endless...
What does an eighteen year old guy in college really want? Dil
Dosti Etc is a fresh and unabashed look at how young men
of today think and choose to live their lives. Dil Dosti Etc
is set around students in Delhi University. Through two university
hostellers, Apurv (Imaad Shah), a rich, cosmopolitan guy and,
Sanjay Mishra (Shreyas Talpade), an old-fashioned Bihari guy,
the film juxtaposes the 'new/ liberal' and the 'old/ conservative'
in our society.
Sanjay is an ambitious and focused student-politician in Delhi.
He represents the romantic and the idealist who steadfastly pursues
his political goals. On the other hand, Apurv's life is directionless.
With the abundance of time and money in hand, he searches for
meaning in life through amorous escapades with various girls.
The three female leads - that of a prostitute (Smriti Mishra),
a school girl and a rich model, provide a myriad of social and
emotional backdrops to the film. Vaisali (Smriti Mishra) plays
an attractive but sharp-tongued prostitute. She claims never to
get emotionally attached to her customers. Then there is the precocious
school girl Kintu (Ishitta Sharrma), who coquettishly remains
noncommittal to Apurv's flirtations and plays hard to get. Prerna
(Nikita Anand) is the rich South Delhi babe who aspires to become
an international model, and yet finds herself attracted to the
earthy and charismatic student-politician, Sanjay.
Dil Dosti Etc uses a rich ensemble of characters, stories
and themes to explore the very nature of friendship, male bonding,
voyeurism, sexual perversion, love and betrayal. The film, based
on an original screenplay, is full with realism and black humour
and shows the coming of age of not only a young man but also explores
the ambiguities and pre-occupations of an entire generation.
