Hello everyone, After watching RDB i was really anxious to see Delhi 6 but after watching the movie i was really deppressed , the movie is all crap yar ,I think Abhishek needs to work more hard to be called Juniur Bachan but the only thing that made be watch the whole movie was “SONAM KAPOOR” she was looking
damm cute and the songs by mr Dilip kumar(now A R rehman) was as usual stunning .

I managed to see Delhi 6 Monday night. Till now because of the recession,I was very hesitant to go and see a movie which has been hammered so badly by the critics.Oops .. I meant to say ‘film trade analysts’. I haven’t written much film reviews thro’out my life (Only 2 before this) , but Delhi 6 prompted me to write one.

Yeah .. you guessed it right. I LIKED it. A director of a film has all the rights to make a film and tell a story in a way he wants. Sometime they mould their film making with ‘feel good fundas’ for a box office appeal. Having tested the box office success with RDB, Rakeysh Mehra goes the way he wants to go and show cases his real style of film making. That’s Delhi 6. The film takes me back to the childhood days , when we all used to watch serials like Hum Log and Buniyad. Its really refreshing.

I guess everyone should be knowing the story by now. Those who feel RDB was better , you can draw parallels between RDB and Delhi 6. Here are few of them –
The songs are used up to first stanzas and they gel well with the execution of the film
In RDB, the Bhagat Singh drama runs parallel with the cotemporary story so does the Ramleela in Delhi 6.
At the end, user is left with something to think about and ask a question “Do I need to change the way I am living my life ?”

For those who have seen the movie and could not understand the ideologies conveyed in the film, here is an interpretation –

The Kala Bandar – Most of you might think the film should have been named “Kala Bandar”. To me the bandar is an common enemy. Remember the Hindu and Muslim mob forget their fights and run behind the Kala Bandar towards the end. Its the inner beast within you which you should be able to kill. I loved this device.
Masakkali – Its used to depict Sonam Kapoor’s current state of life. A pigeon with tied wings.
Ramleela – This runs parallel with the story and was used as a tool beautifully to show age old issues in India like Choot-Achoot etc.
The cast was fantastic. Om Puri, Pawan Malhotra, Atul Kulkurni, Waheed Rehmaan,Rishi Kapoor …blah blah blah. It was such an pleasure to watch all the powerhouse performers of Indian Cinema on the screen together. The music works big time and has been used effectively. You better know why Rehmaan sir deserved an Oscar. Abhishek is superb in the film.
No matter some people feel his US accent was fake. But hey , Did Shahrukh Khan use it in Swades ? The answer is NO. Sonam Kapoor is an pleasure to watch. I wish she had a bigger role.

Final words? .. Go for it ! Watch Abhishek getting amused to see the Ramleela, watch Sonam Kapoor dance to the tune of Masakkali, watch Vijay Raaz as a sarfira cop, watch the charming Rishi Kapoor … Watch it to Celebrate India !

I don’t care even if the film rates zero stars! I’ll most definitely watch the film cuz Abhishek is it!!!

This abishek bachan just seems to be getting worse with each movie. What the hell was the director thinking when he decided to cast him in this horrible piece of worthless crap of a movie. I guess abhishek thinks that just because he’s amitabh’s son any movie he will make will become a hit by default. This movie was so boring that within 10 or 15 minutes I lost all interest. There was absolutely no story line, and abhishek just sleeps walks through most of the movie, I was so confused and nothing was making any sense to me. Just stay away from this movie everyone its really bad.

abhishek bachchan is such a zero wonder what aish sees in him ..his new look is so pathetic that wonder he bothers to see the mirror anytime of the day?!!!! the movie is as atrocious as it gets ..the second wk friday collections all over have been poor..so this is asecond flop for sonam kapoor..and the umpteeenth for the bachchan guru ..wonder if directors will take a note and stop signing him up…his look with and without the monkey mask is the same!!! i could not inderstand how any girl could fall in love with such a kaala bandar!!..this was a foolishly made and emoted film mr mehra must be shattered now with the result ..he should know ..people audience is never wrong…

Well, for me it was a very sensitive , a simple, warm ,cultural , definitely with a politica lmessage and why not, cry of the hour. I just simply fell in love with the movie. It takes lot of guts to make a movie like this.
Happy tht for once songs were not sung around trees or silly, disco jamm. No Idiotic disco bhangra It was pictuerised in India, shows the way Delhi_6 really is.It is an amazing movie. people should thnik about the each line thats said or written. Rehnu tu was so well meant , Love fo r Nation, City, fellow countrymen
and yes for LOVERas well. what a beauty and sensitivity.
This coorporate worldis changing lives fast and leaves no time for little details which acutally are so vital and enhance beauty of a human.

I just LOVED THIS MOVE and cn´t have enough of it.
There are so many insensitive and worthless movies made by lot of youth ICONS, which are disasterous.
GO WATCG AGAIN; if ou didn´tlike it for the first time. don´t smoke or drink a Beer for a day but watch the movie.

For those of you who want to deliberately punish or torture yourselves, and love inflicting pain on yourself, this is the perfect movie for you all. Acutally any of abhishek’s movies would be good, this one and his last movie drona. I guess his dad must be paying all these directors under the table to take him in their movies, and what ever losses they make I guess his dad secretly pays them for it. I totally agree with the last comment what the hell does aish see in him and his look lately is so stupid he looks like some villager with the moustache or whatever he is trying to support, I guess she was just in it for the money.

hi caramel,
sorry, i m not forcing u for RDB.i think it’s insult of the film if i force someone to like RDB
i understand that everyone has different choice
but all i can say to u is that watch RDB once again

hi prashant ,
superb review.i really really……….like it.

Thanks Buddy ..

A bigggggg disappointment….. This is rather an Art movie than a commertial ones. I like art movies but this one lacked intense acting. The role never suited Abhishek. Storyline could have been much better. This could have been a remarkable movie with the theme that was chosen, but deplorable acting made it look like a total nuisance. This could have been far far far better.

I cant say Abhishek is a bad actor. I have seen “Guru” and for sure he has the potential. But this is like tauba tauba tauba where he could have easily won an award for the movie. Ruined it completely.

@Prashant:

Buddy you are very right about the ideologies that are presented/depicted in the movie and that is why I mentioned in my earlier comment that this movie could have been far far far better and could have easily won national awards.

But my friend the performance/direction/narration with some cheesy dialogs made it some miserable. Had this been a quality performance what a treasure this could had been…

I don’t agree with you or would recommend anyone to watch this movie. Rakesh Mehra is not Shyam Benegal.

Swapnil: I saw RDB twice, when I saw it in cinema for the 1st time and I got bored, didn’t like the direction, so after the hype for this movie and the success at the box office, I saw it once again on a dvd, but couldn’t change my mind.. each one of us see any movie from different perspective, our choices, tastes are different.. If you’d ask me which one of the following movies are the best: RDB, Billu Barber, Ghajini, OSO ( 2 blockbusters, 1 super hit and one which is Billue Barber an average movie, I’d say that I considered Billu is the best among these 4 movies.. and the reason is: the message in this movie, a meaningful story, a different script.. I love new scripts.

Avoid this movie…Nothing more to say

if it is such a beautiful sensitive movie why has it flopped ..are people watching it not sensitive?? oh !! they are not sensitive towards rakeysh mehra in giving him a hit?!!!!

@priyamvada

You are right about the sensitivity of the movie.. But may be most of the people did not like the senseless acting.

I loved the film!!!!!

there is no question of liking this film at all the factors…

1. abhishek bachchan himself ..the flop maestro himself..his wooden ugly face raises dislike immensely
2.sonam irritates .there is no reason for a bubbly vivacious girl to fall in love with our disaster looking hero
3.the music which stops the narrative so many times and the flow doesnt register
4.the character actors have nothing to add to the finale
5.the mother son ceases midway kala bandar takes over
6.kala bandar has no meaning to the narrative the hindu muslim divvide is very clear without its use
6 needless use of amitabh in the end for his son
7.ramaleela scenes do not carrry any meaning do not even make a satirical statement
8 old delhi jalebis etc is known to eveybody there is nothing new to show
9dialogues are meaningless do not make your thinking cells to charge
10.poor direction..te message moral of the story not clear

end result a flop show well abhishek is used to this poor girl ..just when she thinks whes had the best the directors rise to the occasion and make a mess of it all for her..unbelievable unenviable luck…

I don’t know why some of u consider Abhishek as “ugly”?! He’s not ugly, he just needs to work on his look, after Dostana, I considered him one of the best actors in bollywood.. let’s wait and see his upcoming movie Ravaan with his wife .. I think that’s the name, and he doesn’t look good in this movie, he lost weight, wearing a cap, but his role might require this, we don’t know only after watching.

i think not only is abhishek ugly but also atrocious worst dressed ..pathetic to tolerate..has only given five hits and none of them are to his credit..dhoom dhoom2 bluffmaster guru and somehow dostana and the credit for all lies elsewhere..he is surely the bundle master and lacks looks of a typical norht hero he lacks class ..have alook at him in thre idea ad and you would know ..his marriage to middle age woman too is a deterrant ..no wonder his film has flopped ..he had two disasters last year ,,drona dostana and this one also sarts with d…amazing…..hai na
