Somehow, my gut feeling about D6 is that its script might prove to be its weak point. It is a tiny, miniscule script. Even taglines and synopsis nowadays are longer than in what the entire script can be told without loosing anything. this bonsai script might not be able to keep viewers engrossed for the length of movie. RDB was a complex script. RDB was a vision, a new insight into current state of affairs and comparing them with pre-independent India - everybody loved that. And, then the other weak point could be the forced-make-believe. It is made in india so it is bound to highlight Indian culture, values, social system. They just can't criticize it for the fear of backlash. So, it might become a lecture, a Purab Aur Paschim II, in which everything that is Indian is right and everything that is western is wrong. But, intelligent viewers are going to hate this forced make believe. There are good and bad things in East and there are good and bad things in west. So, my apprehension is that these two points might bog the film down - like Swades. But director is a proven good hand. I would be happy to see him overcome these possible deficiencies and coming out with a great film. -- Rawat
