Movie which comes out from director's soul

Normal 0IT;s NOT MY VIEW ASK Mr. HERMIT HE WILL KNOW ALL REVIWERS AND HE CAN TELL WHOSE TAKE IT IS


Hats off for Rakesh and Rehman. The movie is made from souland heart and it touches yours also at least for me. If people say that go forbillo for SRK who makes you cry than its nothing but nonsense. Rakesh direction& script is so powerful that you won’t forget a single character.


Delhi 6. The movie shows why Delhi is the capital of our country. The name of movie of movie included with 6 is because previously the pin code of whole Delhi was 110006. After all it’s our capital, heart of the country, where people stays enjoy each moment.


Movie starts where Abhishek takes his daddi Wahida back toDelhi, because she wants to die in her country, city. It may look like the filmcentres around Roshan (a meticulously engaging Abhishek Bachchan), born andraised in America, who returns to Delhi to leave behind his ailing grandmother(Waheeda Rehman).


He falls for a free-spirited but conflicted woman (SonamKapoor), who is preparing to become next Indian Idol. Sonam Kapoor, looksfascinating but has also grown into an actress of delicate power.


Whether sheis doing a comic scene, or dancing to the feisty Masakali song or executing anact of rebellion against her family’s plans for an arranged marriage, she hitsthe right notes. It is indeed not an easy thing to hold your own in a film filled with an admirable ensemble cast. But Rakesh did it.


When Roshan lands the first thing he notice is the news of Kala Bandar on tv.He played his character perfectly, confused between two cultures. That’s why he slowly starts to groom. Sonamwants to become Indian Idol, but his father OM puri wants her to get married.


Overall movie rounds around this family and their society, which is same inwhole our country. But the film is not just about two young people. It seeks tocapture the bigger picture of a neighborhood, culture, religion . Its episodescapture a raft of conflicts involving families, politicians and two religiouscommunities, Hindus and Muslims. The film creates a wonderful world of a vastneighborhood in old Delhi. But its concerns including how the fear of theblack monkey is manipulated by one community to punish the other community have wider implications.


Despite Abhishek and Sonam’s romantic entanglement being amajor part of the film, its appeal is enhanced by half a dozen glorious performances. Mehra deftly exploits the comic talent of Vijay Raaz, who is far-more amusing here, as the pompous, corrupt and opinionated police officer.


And then there is Rishi Kapoor’s (who still looks charming )character, who cannot forgive himself for not having had the courage to declare his love years ago and who will now make surethat Roshan won’t make the same mistake.don’t forget the jalebi wala he is the same actot from omkara.


Thousands of people in Chandni Chowk watch with intensity asthe Ramayana unfolds on stage when their attention is suddenly jarred by the appearance of a local politician in saffron clothes, who makes a spirited speech and disappears.


The sequence, shot by director Rakeysh in hisconsistently inventive, funny, entertaining and life-affirming cautionary taleDelhi-6, is highly comical.


But like most of the funny scenes in the film -- including the frantic searchfor the kala bandar (black money), who is reportedly harassing the citizens ofDelhi and is the main object on which Rakesh developed a whole story- theRamayana scene is also linked to the darker situations that unfold in the film’s last quarter.


All the episodes, which may seem isolated in thebeginning, are seamlessly brought together in the second half. The new filmdoes not offer many complicated stories as those found in Mehra’s previous hit, Rang De Basanti, but this film is a worthy follow up to its predecessor.


As Mehra says of his episodically film that while it is firmly centered in oldDelhi and is filled with local colour, its concerns are universal.


There is hardly a character in the film who is not anchored to the film, andMehra ensures that even a small gesture adds to the film’s proceeding. Jalebiwala , gobar , and the so called untouchable girl divya marks their presence.


There are many touching scenes like Wahida saying “ab to yeah marne ka bhi maannahi karta”, how we welcome guests , the love in family is their , after so manyyears Wahida comes but how they welcome is wonderful.


The bed scene with CyrusSahukar TV channels changes and lastlt rocket is fired. There are many suchscenes, not bed one but funny , touching. As rishi kappor says hum garibo kojalane ke liye shajahan ne taj mahal bana diya. Children driving the car and destroying the whole ramayan, Abhi saves the children and people think that its work of monkey.


Among the many amusing scenes that are also illuminating is the one that beginswith dadi (Waheeda Rehman) suddenly taking ill. She is being rushed to a hospital in a cycle rickshaw much to the frustration of her grandson Roshan who is perhaps thinking the care she would have gotten in America.


The rickshaw is stalled as hundreds of people have gathered to see a cow in labour in the middle of a road. The event has religious significance. But Roshan ispetrified; he wants to get his grandmother to the hospital the soonest.


He sets out to disperse the crowd and by the time he manages to do it -- you have guessed -- the grandmother has disappeared. We then see her gingerly walking towards the cow. She has more than recovered, and her heart is full of piety.


Mehra do not ridicule her faith. But the sequence also serves as a powerful reminder of generational and faith gap between two people who love each other, and who can indeed tolerate each other’s opinion.


The climax, which also involves the black monkey, is the main center character invisible but people are terrified of monkey. Actually Rakesh took the monkey character to show people that their soul is getting black but as usual our country is united all religion lives near by peace fully and they have hear which is sweet but can be make it black just yo need brain washers politicians otherwise we are united..


However, it also serves as a good moral ending andcould send viewers home in a happy mood.Last but not the least what can you say about Rehman he is mind blowing eachsong goes with the scene and perfectly.Master he is genius , and With the helpof Rakesh direction Dil girfatarsong shows whole confusion going inAbhi’s mind is just wonderfull. I will be disappointed if the film fails.
