Delhi-6

I loved Delhi-6! This movie not only beautifully depicts life of the people in Old Delhi, but also sheds light on differences in people's mindset when it comes to questioning their deep-rooted faiths, prejudices and practices. I would call Delhi-6 a poem rather than a movie because it carries the following attributes of a poem: 1) very well written, 2) there are lot of metaphors and symbolism involved, and 3) one would require go through the content more than once to comprehend the underlying meaning. It was a delightful experience going though this beautiful poem! The movie cast is spot on, the music is great, and added to this is the astounding cinematography; all put together gives you the real flavor of what Delhi is all about. The narrative may not be pacy, and there are few action sequences and dance numbers that may leave regular movie-goers not so impressed. On the other hand, this movie offers a strong social message and emphasizes highly on communal harmony and national integration. There are so many tiny details in the movie one may miss in the first go. This reflects on how much effort would have been put on script writing. Overall, I enjoyed Delhi-6 and I would say this movie is suitable for audience who wish to hear a story with a moral.

So this movie has an average rating of 6.2, which is quite disappointing for a film like this. It falls along the lines of Rang De Basanti. It is not a masala flick where you have drama, love, sex, music, thrills, laughs, tragedy, etc. This movie doesn't have much entertainment value, it is more about real life and how people behave (just like Rang De Basanti).

Now about the movie. It is directed well and the story is simple. The pace was slow a couple times but it picked up during the climax. Although Abhishek and Sonam aren't great actors in my view, they have my respect for working in this film. You can read the plot to know about the general story.

I would watch this movie again with friends and family. It is definitely a keeper and it's available on Blu-Ray!

I think the excellent movie till date from abhishek and great movie with great music ....a "GREAT SCRIPT" nd a great acting from everyone... a very nice movie and ll just say that a must watch movie for all Indians.

NOT just watch the movie but to understand it deepness hidden in it.just wanna say that m not very good in movie criticizing but if i can understand the movie with it deep thought so that every normal human can also understand. I think more of this theme movie also need to make in Bollywood instead of just crap movie with fighting and no story line just with action in them . request to all to like and support this kind of movie and encourage the director for this kind of masterpieces.

What a delight! The streets of Delhi haven't ever looked as affable as through the camera of Binod Pradhan in Delhi-6. To be honest, when I had heard the music release, a few songs seemed out-of-place/non-inspiring, but every note played in the movie seems to blend seamlessly with the plot.

It's not a perfect movie - the plot seems to be unconvincing in the last 20 minutes, but that doesn't even manage to scrape the lingering happy feeling that you're left with from the previous couple of hours of the movie.

I found three remarkable things about the movie. I've already mentioned the cinematography - it makes you wish you were there. Then there is a bunch of the most heartwarming, hilarious scenes written and enacted brilliantly. Yet, the performance by the actors is what remains with you when you step out of the theater. Divya Dutta, Deepak Dobriyal, and Vijay Raaz stand out and have such impact through their few appearances that you end up believing they were on screen for almost the entire movie. Waheeda Rahman and Rishi Kapoor remind us that Old is Gold. In fact, the entire cast is full of life, and has carried the story on its shoulders through every scene. Abhishek Bachhan has done justice to his talent.

If you're a fan of the old run-on-the-mill Indian movie, better stay at home. If you wish to see a delightful approach to cinema, go catch the movie.

I rate it at 7/10.

A misunderstood film...it shows the culture, harmony, religion, beliefs of the society. A NRI who returns with his grandma to delhi-6 in densely populated area of chandni chowk delhi. A beautifully written story with heart touching music.
