This time Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra has come up with third directorial venture, Delhi-6. As he claims he wrote the movie before Rang De Basanti. It has a very interesting premise of characters and storyline.
It is a contemporary film set in old Delhi, dealing with common issues in India. The story revolves around a young America-born Indian (Abhishek Bachchan) coming to India to leave his dying grandmother (Waheeda Rehman) and falling in love with the native land.
With a plot rotating around the old walled city of Delhi, Chandni Chowk and the relation of a person, who was brought up abroad, with his city, it is certainly a movie we are all waiting to watch.
After quite a few ups and downs Abhishek Bachchan seems to have caught upon a role that is worth his calibre. He was completely wasted in his past few films like Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Sarkar Raaj.
The lead actress of the movie Sonam Kapoor’s expections is high from the movie. Though, Sawariyaan didn’t do well last time, but it’s going to do better. There are also a number of character artists who form an intergral part of hindi film industry.
Besides, Waheeda Rehman, there are the supremely talented Supriya Pathak, Divya Dutta and Tanvi Azmi. And there is Rishi Kapoor, Om Puri and Atul Kulkarni.
Some critics compare the movie with Swades of Ashutosh Gowarikar. “Swades was about why lighting a bulb in India is more important than launching a rocket to the moon. It was about brain drain and why it should not happen.
At the same time, Delhi 6 is none of that – It’s a story about people. It’s like a fabric and people are the threads that make this fabric – some as coarse as cotton, others as fine as silk. It’s about a recipe called India.
Delhi-6, which had its world premiere in New York on Sunday, was greeted well by the audience. All fall in love with the movie and the storyline. A good movie to see, indeed!
