U.S.-based Roshan Mehra's mother, Fatima, is Muslim, while his dad is Hindu. When his ailing grandmother, Annapurna, wants to re-locate to Delhi to spend her last days, he accompanies her. Upon arrival, they are greeted by Ali Beg, who wanted to marry Fatima, but was not able to disclose his feelings to her. He also gets to meet the Sharma family, who hope that he will wed Rama, the daughter of Madan, who is busy looking for a groom for his other rather rebellious daughter, Bittu, who wants to be the next Indian Idol. He also gets to meet assorted Muslim and Hindus, who welcome him with open arms, and he gets to witness that lower caste Indians are still being shunned despite of modern technology and the launching of satellites. When reports of a Kala Bandhar terrorizing the community increases, Hindus start to suspect that it may be a Muslim terrorist, while the Muslims fear that it may be a Hindu political ploy to demolish a mosque.
Leave your thoughts about Delhi-6.
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeIt's pretty much irresistible and, in that sense, represents the enigmatic India of today as well as anything ever could. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzDelhi-6 can be maddeningly vague, which robs its ending -- a finale as joltingly (melo)dramatic as any in Bollywood -- of the impact it intends. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAdmirably ambitious but ultimately frustrating musical dramedy. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe film is light on those kitschy musical numbers that make Bollywood movies fun to watch. |
| User ReviewSouravSo what if Delhi 6 failed at the box office? So what if most of my friends ended up telling me its a bore and stands nowhere close to Rang de Basanti? I stand by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra in his sincere effort and fearless spirit to try something different- out-of-place! Well to start with, one cannot reject the fact that India was desperately waiting for a hip hop cinematographic piece of art. |
| User ReviewAbithkGood movie but not that good. Music is excellent. Hats off to A.R Rahman sir. |
| User ReviewThegodfathersonDelhi 6 is super slow and tedious. The movie is directed by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra who has made a timeless classic- Rang De Basanti. Looked over the fact that Mehra has made RDB, Delhi 6 manages to capture the essence of a dirty Delhi suburb that looks over religion between Muslims and Hindus. Delhi 6 is packed with boring moments and a ultra-stupid fantasy of a black monkey. Abhishek Bachchan delivers but the other actors need help. In the end, Delhi 6 isn't a MUST watch per say but one that is a tedious, slow and unforgettable tale. |
