I was amazaed whwn i found the director of "Rang De Basanti" doing this kind of movie. It surely was a great plot but the director failed to use it well and make a historic movie from it. I have nothing more to say but this movie disappointed me very much and hurt me.

From the makers of Rang De Basanti, I have to say that the RDB director has missed it this time. Delhi-6 isnt flawless or atleast near perfect by any means. The soul, the effort is there. But the culmination and the plot does fall apart. The movie is good in bits and pieces. This would have been a disaster had it been a lengthy movie but its just 2.20 hours approx. Nevertheless the movie felt lengthy because there wasnt anything into it.
The Plot?
Roshan [Abhishek] comes to drop his ailing grandmother to Delhi so that she can succumb in her own land. Roshan who has been brought up in America falls in love with the city.
Well i donno how to explain the plot exactly cos actually even I'm confused what the actual plot is. Really the whole movie actually is ased on a KAALA BANDAR who wreaks havoc in the city. Though because of this the movie is hilarious and enjoyable at times but at interval you wonder,"What's the actual story yaar???" Entire first half is just on explaining the characters. The movie tightens its grips only in the second half when tensions arise between two communities. But the climax for some would be foolish and unexplained and for some it would be accepted. But for me I still had questions unanswered after the movie.
Alright enough of the negative aspects. There are a lot positives from here. The music from A.R. Rahman. Had it not been for his wonderful soundtrack this movie would be hell of a bore. All of the songs are just lovely and equally the best. None of them are the fast forward types. Masakali, Arziyan, Yeh Delhi Hai, Rehna Tu are the best picks.
Binod Pradhan's cinematography is awesome. Delhi is wonderfully captured and also the Jama Masjid sequence is incredible. Certain scenes in the movie are enjoyable. A bit of humour.
On the acting front, Abhishek is good but its not his finest. Sonam is better than in Saawariya and she looks gorgeous too. Waheeda Rehman and Rishi Kapoor are good. Om Puri is brilliant. Same with the rest of the cast. All perform as expected.
The love plot between Abhishek-Sonam is not appealing in fact its not much to talk about. It doesnt make any impact. But the certain characters of the movie are certainly interesting.
If you have high expectations from this movie then they are certainly gonna be shattered. This by no means is better or even half as better than Rang De Basanti's standard. I suggest save your precious money and just watch it at home when the original dvd or vcd's come out.
Regarding how the people will react to the movie. Its gonna be mixed. The attendance for the movie will fall as days pass and it will be hard whether it can emulate the success of RDB.... But Rakeysh has tried to teach us moral values from his film but had he used better means then this would have worked.

This movie had potential but due to lack of objective the director could not pull it properly. The first half is very loosely connected, and the ending is pathetic. The "Kala bandar" hysteria will prove too much on the nerves of the audience.Sonam kapoor is good but rarely visible. Abhishek's accent is fake, and he does not look like born and brought up in america! Other characters are strictly OK
I do agree that ‘Delhi 6’ is not one of the finest movies but on the whole it is a good movie.…
I do agree that ‘Delhi 6’ is not one of the finest movies but on the whole it is a good movie. A complete family movie along with a meaningful message. Now these days we are getting too much different
kind of movies like ‘Luck By chance’,’Dev D’ and many more.I can say these days Bollywood is more concentrating on Experimental Cinema.’Delhi 6’ is another experimental kind of movie.This is not a love story or not a social movie but it is a combination of Drama,Emotions,Romance and Social Issues. Director has used all these scenario to express some serious issue like Illetrecy,Politics and Social Integrity. Through ‘Rang De Basanti’ Rakesh OmPrakash Mehra beautifully expressed one serious concern and everyone appreciated that.This time also he tried to expose another concern but everytime we can’t expect same treatment like ‘Rang De Basanti’’.
Plot:
Abhishek Bachchan is a NRI and planning to return India because of her GrandMother’s Wish.His plan was to return back to USA but suddenly in his life he face some drastic situation and due to that he drop the idea of returning back to US.During his journey in India he met with all kind of peoples like Sonam and Her Family,Rishi Kapoor,Delhi Police and Delhi People.
Direction: I will give full credit to Director Rakesh OmPrakash Mehra’ for his wonderful work.Through the eyes on NRI he had shown one of the actual pictures of Delhi, India. He has proved his ability again and this time also he has driven one hard hitting subject smoothly and properly.He covered almost all the scenarios.What I feel there was not mixing in the story because in the movie the way Abhishek is behaving and speaking ,its completely reflecting that he is NRI.No change in his behaviour or body language.I mean to say he perfectly composed the NRI character.
Samething with Sonam,typical Delhites. You can feel the ‘feel of old delhi’.Those old buildings,crowded lane and people.Everything is perfectly balanced and presented.It could be a controversial situation but he drove the second half quietly and perfectly.For this he used ‘Black Monkey’ and if we all remembered this happened in Old Delhi 2-3 Yrs Back.How one black monkey helps to maintain the unity between “Hindu-Muslim “ is a classic work done by him.The best part is Ram Lila,the way he used this concept to resemble with all the situations is remarkable.
Editing and Camera Work:Nice Editing.Camera Work is also excellent.Morning Raga of Delhi and those crowded lanes all are excellent.The best was jumping from one house to another which shows the dense of that area.Best was night scene.From the roof the picturisation of Delhi is awesome.
Actor:
Abhishek Bachchan : Excellent Work. He perfectly manage to prove his NRI character.Throughout the movie story is revolving around him.Sometime his US accent doesn’t seems to impressive but that was demand of the character.
Sonam :She plays a young girl in this movie.Her role is short but sweet.She looks pretty in the movie and she did a good work.Despite the fact that some places she was not impressive but its ok this is her seond movie.
Atul Kulkarni and Pawan Malohtra however has proved himself yet again.Waheeda Rahman and Rishi Kapoor has a short role but effective.
Music : Another Master Piece by A.R.Rahman. The asset of the movie is the songs.Well picturized and plotted songs. The best thing is that none of the songs have long duration. In first half continuous interval there is song but they are short and audible. All the songs suits to situation and helps to drive the movie.
A film that respects all aspects of Indian life with a valuable message.
I feel like Climax could have more better and some of the characters like Rishi Kapoor,Prem Chopra should have more scope in the movie.
My rating is 3.5/5.We all should watch atleast for 1 time.
All these are my views.
Please feel free to share your views and concern.

One Word: AWESOME!!!
This movie is HAT-KE.
Such a smart but simple story, underlining all the key issues being faced by India and Indians these days!
Make u think a lot about a lotta things in the end.
Well edited, well acted and above all well directed!
Abhisekh is really good, Sonam is too gorgeous while being simple. All the supporting cast is amazing too!
the only negative aspect can be that it is too smart for AAM-JUNTA who likes to watch RNBDJ or OSO kinda craps! lolz
Higly recommended!

According 2 me, d film Delhi-6 was gud bt not as gud as xpctd........plzzz dnt compare it wid rang de basanti as it was a masterpiece....
Delhi-6 has its plusses, mainly 4m story nd screneplay point of view, in it's 2nd half as d 1st half was mainly conc. on character intro nd songs.... One mst say dat dis movie has d best rahman score...all d songs were awesome nd d message thru' kala bandhar was a unique nd very gud idea...

When i saw the publicity display for Delhi-6 i wondered wht was tht mirror for.. after i came out watching the movie i gt my answer. Delhi-6 is indeed a good movie nt like those churned out like mill cloths everydy in Bollywood.
It has the perfect settings, perfect characters, perfect situattions which delivers the message it has a clearly n loudly.
It does has some negatives bt thts acceptable after all no one's 100% perfect in this world.
After Billu this too is a good movie which can be watched along with the family, out this month.
Dont want to press my thoughts on the movie on all, watch it n have your say..
