I know that a lot of people dun like AB Jr. well......i'm not one of them....i've been following his films (Dhaai akshar prem ke, tera jaadoo chal gaya,shararat included) ever since he made his debut...now i have'nt got a chance to see "DRONA" cos ppl say it leads to insanity n wanting to end their lives....well coming to this latest Rakeysh Mehra flick which by the way i watched last night frm 2.15 to arnd 5.20 early morning (thanks to the mosquitoes in my room who did not allow me even to lie down peacefully) (yes on my comp n yes on a pirated dvd) ...
...i admit that i was confused most of time n bemused some of the time in the pre-interval part....the movie starts out on a confused note (it might be the pirated dvd...cos there were no titles just the scene of AB Jr. collecting baggage at the airport) n went on to confuse me thru the first half,the only good thing was a few light moments (black humour or satire wud be a better term) which showed the nuances of us INDIANS...but i must admit that i fell head over heels in love.....with Sonam Kapoor ofcourse(FYI...i might like watching AB Jr's movies but i'm straight n i dun wanna have any dostana with anybody).
Having sat thru the first half patiently i really started to enjoy the post interval parts....cos thats when the story started materialising n moving in a particular direction....though i must say that Mr. Rakeysh might be walking a dangerously thin line between being GOOD filmmaker and an OVERCONFIDENT film maker (we all knw what happened to Dev Anand and Subhash Ghai)...anyways....the performances given by each cast member was a perfect fit as a Levis 501 fit (well i just did'nt have any other solid metaphor) and the musical Legend of Allah Rakhaa Rahman....well there r no words just his MUSIC...
While many of u reading this post (i'm still optimistic that my posts r read by more than 4 ppl) might think that u've stumbled on a wrong page as this shud've been written somewhere in a film magazine site but my point here is i want u to sit thru this movie...n for doing that i'm gonna give u 10 reasons
1) Nice message
2) Brilliant music
3) Abhishek Bachchan (if u r his die hard fan)
4) Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra (if u liked his RDB and Aks)
5) Delhi (mostly the bylanes of Chandni Chowk..cos u mite nt gather courage to visit them i person to find out that they actually r like that)
6) Sonam Kapoor
7) Sonam Kapoor
8) Sonam Kapoor
9) Sonam Kapoor
10) Sonam Kapoor
Go see Delhi 6 at a multiplex near you...i knw that i watched it on a pirated dvd but i'll do my part to even it out by purchasing the original dvd whenever that comes out....this one goes into my permanent collection of all time favourites [this one's for u sonam :)]

ok...I have to say I didn't quite like the movie although i had high hopes from it...saw it in a multiplex a couple of days after it was released. (btw, u did miss the beginning where Waheeda Rehman is shown to be unwell and wants to spend her last days in India..the move opposed by her son and bahu, but good grandson AB supports her...not much storywise, and u probably knew that already from the reviews)
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I was very disappointed by the movie...barring the music and the acting (by eveyone except AB...cudn't stand his affected "accent"...Rishi Kapoor, Sonam and Pawan Malhotra rocked!!) I did not think there was nething special. For most of the part, there wasn't even a story! The message was trite and has been done much better by other movies(Zakhm comes to mind immediately)...and well, the ending was a cop-out..
as a general timepass, good enuf...but much much better is expected from R O Mehra, sply after RDB...
atleast somebody cares 2 read what i write.....
