The only connect between the title and the film is the fact that the four bachelors in the film live at Maal Road, in Delhi, which is supposedly an area where bachelors stay. The friends in the film Baljit (Rohin Robert), Karan (Atul Srtiva) and Abhijeet (Samarth Shandilya), are all regular middle-class working men with bad love lives with the exception of Nitin. His love life is rocking given the fact that he has a steady girlfriend Pooja (Sonia Kaur). Just three months shy of their marriage, Pooja gets an offer to walk the ramp and become a supermodel. She takes it on and travels to Mumbai which has Karan become nervous. His worst favours are realised when she chooses to break-up with him when he travels to Mumbai and slaps around Pooja’s bosses and acquaintances more than once.
The fact that it’s a film based on Delhi, you hope that at least the dialogues will be fun and reflect the flavour of the city. What you get instead are cheesy, misogynist and sexist quotes in a film that is purportedly about women empowerment. The performances are weak and so is the story. The filmmaker is not sure whether he wants the film to be about love or about the fun and frolic that bachelors indulge in. There have been films made on a leaner budget that look good. But Maal Road Dilli fails miserably on that count, especially in the scenes where Pooja is shown walking a CGI ramp.
The eventual result is an unfunny film that solely depends on the crude and vulgar for the jokes.
