My only submission is the rest of the movie - other than the songs - the poor
screenplay in it - makes the movie a flop and also the songs being forgotten.

1.
About Delhi 6, whatever be the merits of ROM style of storytelling, but he did
give prominence to our man's songs.
- Rehna Tu was such a situation specific that it couldn't have been possible to
get it made without very close understanding and communication between the film
director and the MD.
- Arziya was shot on such a vast panoramic scale that it must have required a
lot of efforts from director to shoot this brilliant song by our man.
- Genda phool just happens sort of unannounced but it still brings a fresh air
when it happens.
- Ye Dilli hai mere yaar could only be a background song by its genre. Kala
bandar was also particularly created for the film's situation.
- maskali, of course, was more a filler song compared with the media coverage
it got before the release of the film.
- dil gira also was more like a filler, though we can't deny that director did
put a lot of efforts in shooting it.

2. Ghai did his best to give prominence to each and every song. Zindagi was
shot at the most appropriate juncture, though its breakup could have been
avoided. All three dance songs were elaborately and luxuriously shot, I get
mixed up in which of the three dance songs was which. tu dost hai also had
money spent in special effects. tu muskara was grand climax song. manmohini was
situation perfect.

i think we can judge the prominence given to a song if we can remember which
song was placed where and what was there in the video and how significant it
was for the film. In blue we do get mix up among the songs, and the
opening/closing credit songs were just wasted. Of course, in D6, one can recall
which of the each song was where.

So I don't agree with you that D6 and Yuvvraj songs treatment had anything
lacking from the side of the director and I wouldn't club them in the
categories of blue.
What more do we expect a director to do for ARR songs?
