There are movies, every time you watch them and you like it more and especially when you watch it twice on consecutive days. Delhi6 isa movie which belongs to this genre. I was waiting for this movie eagerly and I have seen this movie consecutively on last Saturday and Sunday and found it equally appealing in both attempts.
I don’t want to play a spoilsport and narrate the story. In fact there isnothing you can tell about the movie and that can play the spoiler.This movie is very predictable and still doesn’t kill the curiosity.Like ‘Chak De’ and ‘Lagaan’, everyone knows about the result but still their heart pounds heavily one very Shot Goal Run. The concept is awesome and direction is out of words.
This film shows how a Muslim can be a devotee of lord Hanumanand how the childhood friends can go after each others life when itcomes to their religion. This is a movie with some of the most amazingsongs and dialogues in recent past. I can’t help myself praising thedialogues of the movie every now and then... And there is nothing leftto say about the songs.
Some of the dialogues, which I want to write at this point but you can relate it better when you watch the movie:
-"Nal mein paani ho na ho, aankhon ka paani hamesha barasne ko taiyaar rehta hai".
-"Yahan Bhagwaan bhi KURSI ka matlab jaante hai"
-“Jis din Ek NOTE le leta, Do SIKKE milna band ho jaate”
-“izhaar kar do barkhurdar, varna hamari tarah khali haweliyaan kharidate reh jaayoge” (don’t remember exactly)
-"Main ye nahi jaanti ki mujhe kya chahiye, par ye jaanti hoon ki kya nahi chahiye."
Also I was surprised to see that “Rehna Tu” song is not for Sonam Kapoor, watch and find for whom it is...Also like he did in ‘RDB’, Rakeysh relate every event with the events of RAMAYAN and that too notin RDB style.
In RDB there was a background scene for relation with thefreedom struggle but here the director chose to go with Ramlila.Ramlila is shown so beautifully that I have already made my mind to gothere once in upcoming season.
This is a movie, to which everyIndian (Delhite more specifically)can relate no matter if he is anabsolute Indian or an NRI. The feelings have been shown beautifully andthe director believed in the power of expressions more than the powerof words.
Sonam Kapoor is looking like totally opposite as she was in ‘Saawariyan’and in my opinion everyone will like this new Sonam more than the‘Saawariyan’ one. This new Sonam looks more promising and has shownthat she can perform if directed well. This bubbly and cheerful girlsurely deserves the accolade.
Abhishek Bachchan, Om Puri, Divya Dutta, Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaj and Atul Kulkarni also delivered some goodperformances.
On the other hand, I felt that the movie was a bitfast in first half and a bit slow in the second half. There was anextra stretch of 15 20 minute which can be omitted and can convert itin a better art. Also I didn’t like the climax, I felt that the heroshould not get life after death.
If the movie ended at the shotgunsound, it could create more impact than it did. And that is something, which keeps RDB better than this. Also I would like the album of Delhi6more if they could include the Ramlila tracks in that.
On a final note, it’s a worth watch and you should go for it.
