Brief Description:
Generally, you believe that possibilities are endless when you are young. Dil Dosti Etc has as its backdrop campus life. Director Manish Tiwari has given an unforgettable and an ordinary story for his debut film. Dil Dosti Etc is a fresh and unabashed look at how young men choose to live their own lives. This movie is set around students in DU (University of Delhi). This film uses a rich ensemble of characters, themes and stories to find the nature of friendship, sexual perversion, betrayal and love. The film, based on an original screenplay, is full with realism and black humour, and explores the ambiguities and pre-occupations of an entire race.Dil Dosti Etc, starring Shreyas Talpade, Imaad Shah, Ishita Sharma, Nikita Anand and Smriti Mishra played for Manish Tiwari. This film is set in the “University of Delhi” campus. The story revolves around 4 youngsters and a prostitute. Each one comes from a different backdrop. There is a rich, city-bred guy Apurva (Imaad Shah) with no apparent aim in life but to squander his time on girls in skimpy skirts, or sleeping with a prostitute (Smriti Mishra) to satisfy his urges. 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.
Small budget films with no big stars can stand at par with some of the mainstream opuses, if the story is interesting and has been told well by the director.
