Delhii Heights

And one more first feature, this time set in Nai Dilli and extolling Dilli ka naya culture. Delhii Heights yes, it8217;s got two I8217;s is an apartment building, somewhere in Gurgaon, whose inhabitants are the movie8217;s stars, chief among them being the lead pair: Abi Jimmy and Suhana Neha are a newly-married corporate couple, who work for rival companies, don8217;t cook, do take-aways, start off by playing footsie, and end up dueling on their laptops, accusing each other of stealing their big idea.

This is the only dramatic point in the film, which fills its other slots with stock characters. Om Puri as a bluff sardar, his plump, good-natured Punjaban wife, and his stringy choli-wearing daughter, Rohit Roy as the resident flirt, and Simone Singh as his long-suffering wife, and a bunch of no-hopers as the building8217;s teenage boys, who never seem to go to either school or college, but just hang about, cracking silly jokes.

Jimmy rises above his hideous streaked hair, and does a passable job as the man-of-today who wants both good-wife-and-good-life. Neha is watchable in parts, but needs a strong hand to tamp her down. Even the always game Om Puri looks as if he just wants it to get over. Soon. If you want Rabbi Sheirgill, whose songs are in the movie, buy his album.
