I don't agree with this review. Way way way too generous. D6 is still new to me, so can't comment, but from a single listening to all the songs, it's not as good as this review is claiming. It works both ways guys. I didn't agree with his Ghajini review either (when he trashed it). But, in both cases, I RESPECT HIS OPINIONS!
