Starring: Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni, Divya Dutta, Waheeda Rahman, Rishi Kapoor
Music Directory: A R Rahman
Rating: * * 1/2

We liked Delhi 6 in parts. The song Masakkali is already on everybody’s lips and Rahman’s music has ensured that Delhi 6 was a most awaited movie. Delhi 6 is a movie set in Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk area. Roshan comes back from New York to help his ailing grandmother.

Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor make a good pair though using Ramleela to communicate multiple messages makes the movie cryptic. Elaborate background for monkeyman story takes focus away from both the central love story and communal tension in Chandni Chowk.

Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra has done a decent job in creating Chandni Chowk environment. Rishi Kapoor is probably the most stylish character in the movie and also has the best dialogues. He is getting better with every new movie.

Best thing about the movie is music by Rahman. Second best is Chandni Chowk and movie would have done really well if it has a decent and consistent story that doesn’t leave audience confused about ‘message from the movie’.

Our advice to readers is to watch the movie but don’t keep your expectations too high.
