Delhi – 6 Was an accident. Wait.. not the movie, but our seeing it was definitely one. Sunday morning I woke up with ma phone ringing at as early as 9:30 am( ya it is for someone who has to wake up by 6:30 everyday) n e ways….we headed to Imax to watch “koncham Istam Koncham Kastam” as Mallik was suppaaa excited about coming back to India from Sing-a-pore but it was a Sunday so obviously we didn’t manage to get the tix. so we headed to “saptagiri” after a lot of drama. It’s so much fun to watch movie in these small theaters. Oh wait you’ve come to read the review… alrite hear it goes…

Title: It is one of those titles where it has got nothing to do with the story line but just that it happened on that day or in that place and can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere. Like “A Wednesday”. But there was something to it. I saw a poster which actually said “Dilli -6″. I even heard Abhi telling out in a press release that it is “dilli” and not “delhi” I wonder what is the differene but I like it as “Dilli” than “Delhi”. Check the picture below you will know what I mean.

Story line: A thought provoking story line and will make you think. Its the same old sensitive “ramalayam” -”Babri Masjid” issue, but the way it was shown will make you think rather than create ore controversies. I’d still say there won’t be any change in the way people think. Its like built into their system. If you planning to bring in the change then go teach the younger generation that GOD is one and religion is just a system that we build for ourselves for a way to communicate to GOD. I wonder if I will see this change at all !!

Movie: I felt that there were some parts, specially towards the ending after Abhi was shot, which can be done without. I still don’t think Amitabh Bachan was needed in the movie other than to just cheer his son. There were a lot of people who told me that the movie was a lil boring before I watched it and I felt the reason was that these scenes a lil unrealistic. When you are trying to make a movie which is on sucha sensitive topic and you want it to do some good to the people around, I’d say stick to keep it realistic. Remember “Mumbai” which actually did impact a lil bit here and there.

Abhishek: After “Dhrona” and “Dostana” , it was a refreshing performance. Altho I felt he couldn’t do a very NRIsh performance he looked more like apna Desi boy than pardesi. Did just about what was needed and thankfully there was no over acting . Oh and he did a fair enough advertising of his “motorola” phone and his dance moves were really (moto)rocking

Sonam: I feel sorry for her that she has to get away with another normal performance. I felt her role was little and anyone could have done the same. But yes she is pretty and will definitely make all the guys go…” I want a gf like that” (this is for Yashu). About her acting, yes this girl can act but didn’t see anything new from her previous performance in “Saawariya”. I want to see this girl take up better performance oriented roles and lets see how will she do it.

Music: A.R Rehman….Well don’t have anywords My fav was Rehna tu… even the rest are very moving…You can feel the music and makes u feel that you are a part of the movie. It was only the music that mad me feel that I was a prt of the movie.. This guy truly deserves the Oscar Award First Indian to be there on that stage !!! .. Wooooooo Rehman rawks

White Pigeon/Sparrow/Dove(watever it was ): It was super cute and had an entire song dedicated to it Matak kali matak kali

Bacha Party: The kids did a good job, and added a little bit of fun element to the movie.

Wahida Rehman, Rish kapoor n the rest: Typically Indian or Delhi I’d say, It was nice to see them and won’t get bored

Last but not the least the Kaala Bandhar: There is ths kaala bandhar that everyone is scared of and actually becomes the hero by getting on to the Tshirts, kites n masks etc. This is later used as a symbolic impression of the “bad” within each of us and will make you think.

To all the folks who came by ..was a fun watch lets finish that “Koncham Istam Koncham Kastam” also.
