that the best song on a given album is always sung by rahman himself!!

2009-03-01 Thread rivjot
What was movie's budget? It must surely have been less than 25 crore,
so how can it be flop?

I checked out wikipedia page of the movie for movie's budget and guess
what I read - 

The movie was supposed to be released on February 13, 2009, but A. R.
Rahman's continued absence from the project led to a delay in the film
getting released. The movie's back ground score remained incomplete
and hence a delay in release by one week.

what rubbish..

 *view DELHI 6 movie

 DELHI 6 has flopped.
 
 After an ordinary opening weekend, the film continued to see a
steady fall
 during the remainder of the week. The film has netted just a little
above 20
 crores in the first week which is quite a low number considering
it's huge
 release.
 
 A pretentious film, it's fall was imminent if reactions after the film's
 premier itself were any indications. In the name of a metaphor (Kaala
 Bandar), the film only became an indulging exercise that neither
turned out
 to be enlightening nor entertaining. Result was a rapid fall in interest
 amongst the audience that told the tale as the week progressed.
 
 *CHECK OUT: DELHI 6 grosses more than 33 crores

worldwide!http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/09/feb/24-delhi-6-grosses-more-than-33-crores-worldwide-020910.asp
 *
 
 With hardly much expected from the second week of the film as well
in spite
 of zero competition on it's way (due to KISSE PYAAR KAROON and SIDDHARTH
 being the only other releases of the week), DELHI 6 is all set to have a
 further fall in the second week. Looking at folding up in the
vicinity of 30
 crores, the film is all set to be third big film in last one year to be
 labeled as a flop in spite of collections reading 30 crores plus. Other
 honorable mentions in '30 Crore Flop Club' are CHANDNI CHOWK TO
CHINA and
 TASHAN, both of which starred Akshay Kumar.
 
 The film may not impact Abhishek Bachchan much since he has a lot to
look
 forward to in the remainder of the year. Moreover, his career has
typically
 seen a flip-flop of this kind (a flop followed by a hit followed by
a flop
 and so on). Earlier this was seen in 2008 (SARKAR RAJ - Above
average, DRONA
 - DISASTER, DOSTANA - HIT) and now with 2009 beginning on a poor
note for
 him, there could be hopes of a better year ahead.
 
 The biggest loss though would be for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra who has now
 given a flop each with Amitabh Bachchan (AKS) and Abhishek. With DELHI 6
 hardly resulting in much appreciation gain for Mehra, it would be
 interesting to see the next project that he kick starts and it's
starcast.

I loved the movie actually... And abt Rehna Tu, it was a surprise 
element to me as it was sung to Delhi rather than lady love and on 
second thoughts I relaized that the lyric suit the city well too :-) It 
was an interesting decision...



[arr] Re: Delhi-6 - Thumbs Down by Taran Adarsh

2009-02-22 Thread Jahanzeb Farooq
you are right, the lyrics of Rehna tu don't make sense if meant for 
father-son relationship either. but here Rishi was not even his 
father. it was totally shocking, i never thought ROM will spoil it so 
miserably. i had lot of expectations from him, especially regarding 
the songs. he completely destroyed the song. shall i say this is the 
WORST picturization (or placement perhaps) of an ARR song ever?? 

though i had already mentioned this doubt after i saw Abhishek and 
Rishi on CD booklet, but that time i thought Rishi would be playing 
his father.

besides Rehna tu, he spoiled all the rest too. masakali is a good 
example. and why the hell to place Dil gira dafatan there when 
Roshan did not even start to fall for Bittu?? strange how terribly ROM 
got it wrong. i am feeling sooo angry.

  though it is not anyway near RDB but it is a pretty good movie. 
  
  one thing which really p** me off is how badly they picturized 
Rehna 
  Tu. oh man i don't believe how badly they spoiled and literally 
wasted 
  the song. i kept wondering why the HELL they placed it there and 
why 
  the HELL when Roshan (Abhishek) was with Ali (Rishi), it made no 
sense 
  at all. to who he was singing rehna tu hai jaisey tu?? i always 
  thought it would be towards Sonam's character. it was completely 
  idiotic. complete waste of a gem of a song.
 
 I also was surprised at the Rehna Tu. Though I had already read in 
this 
 list that this song was to be on father Rishi and Son Abhishek, 
which 
 was not exactly how the characters were related in the film, but it 
was 
 parallel enough. Rishi being Abhishek's mom's silent lover 25 year 
ago 
 can be considered like father to him.
 
 The lyrics seems quite odd at places conveying a much greater 
intimacy 
 than is possible between two persons who had never met till then in 
 their life. Firstly, it was not clear where Abhishek was thinking of

change.
 
 But all that, Mujhe Teri Barish Mein Bheegna Ghul Jana, Mujhe Teri

and 
 belongingness between a father and a son, this relation is always a 
 serious one. So, these figures of speech don't go well.
 
 All that Tu Zakhm De agar, Zakhm pe bhi mujhko pyar aaye, dariya o 
 dariya doobne de mujhe dariya mein sound so odd. there is no 
occassion 
 of Abhishek hurting Rishi, while doobna in dariya is more a concept 
 between lovers than between a father and son.
 
 I find this song more suitable for a friend motivating a friend.
 
 There are echo of lyrics in the song, that could be counted as an 
 effect, but at around 4:40, I find some female voice also joining, 
that

 And whatever prasoon tried to explain in that haath thaam chalna 
ho, to 
 dono ke daye hath sang kaise, ek daya hoga, ek baya hoga, tham le, 
hath 
 ye tham le, chalna sang tham le. that went above my head. Even 
Mehboob, 
 PK Mishra's such explanations sounded much more short and natural. 
Even 
 Javed Akhtar's such explanations are more directly related. Could 
anyone 
 explain plz.
 
 You spelled it absolutely right. It would have been better if the 
song's 
 tone was changed from between two males to from a male to a female 
and 
 that was Abhishek singing (may be in background) for Sonam character 
in 
 the film who was under a lot of pressure in the film to change. or, 
a in 
 female voice it could have been Sonam's idol finale song for 
Abhishek 
 when he was under a lot of confusion and pressure.

  one thing which really p** me off is how badly they picturized 
Rehna 
  Tu. oh man i don't believe how badly they spoiled and literally 
wasted 
  the song. i kept wondering why the HELL they placed it there and 
why 
  the HELL when Roshan (Abhishek) was with Ali (Rishi), it made no 
sense 
  at all. to who he was singing rehna tu hai jaisey tu?? i always 
  thought it would be towards Sonam's character. it was completely 
  idiotic. complete waste of a gem of a song.
 
 I also was surprised at the Rehna Tu. Though I had already read in 
this 
 list that this song was to be on father Rishi and Son Abhishek, 
which 
 was not exactly how the characters were related in the film, but it 
was 
 parallel enough. Rishi being Abhishek's mom's silent lover 25 year 
ago 
 can be considered like father to him.
 
 The lyrics seems quite odd at places conveying a much greater 
intimacy 
 than is possible between two persons who had never met till then in 
 their life. Firstly, it was not clear where Abhishek was thinking of 
 changing, which might have prompted Rishi to suggest him not to

 Front  Page  Entertainment  Story   
 
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1090221/jsp/entertainment/story_1055
.jsp
  
 Sights  sounds of an address 
 DON’T GO IN LOOKING FOR AN RDB, GIVE IT A CHANCE TO LIGHT A CANDLE 
OF A DIFFERENT KIND 
   
 The volcano has erupted again. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has done it 
one more time. Albeit, quite differently. 
 If Rang De Basanti was all rage without an iota of remorse, Delhi-6 
is all love with a dash of hate. If RDB was a public movement, D-6 is 
a personal monologue. And just like Rang De was what the country 
needed back in 2006, Delhi-6 needs
 to be the new pincode of India. Where the mirror pops up for all
 matters of religion, caste, money and power, where you look within
 before you point a finger at others.
 More than a motion picture, Delhi-6 is
 a free flow of ideas, images and sounds. He may harp on the 
importance
 of the script, but Rakeysh Mehra, the erstwhile advertising whiz 
kid,
 is essentially a man of ideas, a bit of a Bollywood visionary. With 
the
 help of the magic troika of A.R. Rahman, Binod Pradhan and Samir 
Chanda
 (production design), Mehra creates a world which explodes in every
 frame. It’s a full-bodied experience, a visceral trip which 
completely
 takes over your senses. 
 For
 the first one hour you may be even excused for thinking that you
 stepped into the wrong theatre to watch not a starry Bollywood movie
 but a beautifully done documentary on Delhi.
 I-am-an-American
 Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) brings his ailing grandmother (Waheeda
 Rehman) to her Delhi house and thus unfolds Chandni Chowk like you 
have
 never seen it before. The crowded bylanes, the lumbering cows, the
 leaning havelis, the reverberating mosques… it’s perhaps more
 energetic, more colourful and more intricate than what Delhi-6 has 
been
 for a long time. 
 And just like in Rang De,
 Mehra puts the story on the backburner and just lets it rip. Pigeons
 fluttering in the air, kites colliding in the sky, chillies drying 
on
 the roof, jalebis frying in the pan… Mehra achieves perfection
 in the rhythm. Stills, staccato, flickering, slo mo… the images 
unfold
 at their own pace, as if they were born on camera. Sometimes the 
frames
 turn into paintings, with smudged shades and muted highlights. 
Delhi-6 is a sensory tour de force. 
 No
 surprises then that when Mehra remembers that he has a story to 
tell,
 things get rushed. The screenplay (Mehra, Prasoon Joshi, Kamlesh
 Pandey) searches for a problem so that it can solve it.
 And
 when it finds one †we won’t spoil it for you †it looks a tad 
forced
 and tired. But there’s so much to likea in the first 90 minutes of 
the
 140-minute film, that you go with the flow, swallow the preachy pill
 and by the end of it all go seeking the mirror nearest to you.
 Delhi-6 belongs to A.R. Rahman more than anybody else. He may get 
the Oscar for
 another movie, but this is clearly a far better work, a soundtrack 
so
 complete that you don’t miss a tone. And kudos to cinematographer 
Binod
 Pradhan for bringing those songs alive. Not just Masakkali, the 
promo queen, all the songs are captured with a lot of heart. But if 
there’s one that stands out, it’s Dil gira dafatan. You can watch 
the movie a couple of times just for this one song, replete with 
tributes to The Aviator and King Kong! 
 Mehra’s
 ensemble cast provides the punctuation marks in this celluloid 
collage
 and each one brings a unique voice. Rishi Kapoor, Vijay Raaz, Deepak
 Dobriyal, Atul Kulkarni, Divya Dutta, Om Puri, Pavan Malhotra, Prem
 Chopra, Cyrus Sahukar, Sheeba Chadda, Supriya Pathak, Aditi Rao… 
they
 all do their bit in making Delhi-6 the address to visit this spring. 
 Watching Waheeda Rehman do the thumka again with a twinke in her 
eyes is a sight for sore eyes. She is luminous as the grand old daadi,
 the pillar around which the rest of the cast rallies. She is a bit
 neglected in the second half but returns at the right time to bring
 things back in perspective.
 Perspective
 is something that sometimes gets lost with Abhishek’s act. Hereâ
€™s an
 uneven performance which is brilliant in certain scenes and plain
 ordinary in others. The accent’s there, so is the swagger but the
 casualness sometimes strays into disinterest and that certainly 
doesn’t
 help the film. He is at his best in the scenes with Sonam and the 
kids
 and totally rocks it in the rap song. 
 Delhi-6 also reintroduces Sonam Kapoor. After what was essentially a 
wishy-washy debut in Saawariya, where
 she had to peek out of veils and jump out of wells, this movie 
allows
 the dove to spread her wings. There may not be too many she-scenes 
but
 Sonam makes the most of the ones she has. Let’s just say, we wonâ
€™t miss
 Kajol anymore. That vivacity,

I totally agree with you Pavan. He is almost 95% accurate about the BO
status of any hind movie. Taran wrote that Ghajini will break all the
previous BO records and we all saw that it did.

I remember he was wrong on other time.. i guess it was for Mangal Pandey
where he gave almost 4 stars (i think) and said that movie will do good.
but it bombed at the BO.

As i said earlier.. he is very good in analysing the BO performance of
any Hindi movie.

   Let's cut a long story short: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra misses the
 bus
   this time.
  
   DELHI 6 tells the story of a young American boy Roshan [Abhishek
   Bachchan] of Indian origin, who comes to India for the first
 time, to
   drop his ailing grandmother [Waheeda Rehman]. She wants to retire
 and
   spend the last leg of her life back home; dissolving into the
 soil she
   was born in.
  
   In America, having led a very western lifestyle, Roshan is not
   familiar with the sites and smells, the food and culture, the
 religion
   and beliefs, this huge melting pot that India is. He believes that
   Dadi had left her family and loved ones back in America, only to
   realize that how wrong he was.
  
   The warmth and affection of the neighbourhood embraces him with
 open
   arms. Amidst all this he meets the beautiful Bittu [Sonam
 Kapoor], who
   wants to break free from the typical Indian social structure, to
 whom
   Roshan is destined to lose his heart.
  
   That Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is an accomplished storyteller is
 evident
   in several individualistic scenes. Note the scene when Vijay Raaz
   slaps Abhishek and Abhishek slaps him back. Also, portions in the

what disaster?..Just coming back from movie..a wonderfull movie
I should say..And Our boss rocks big time not only with songs but
with BGMs also..Those who want masala films should not waste
their time watching this film..and they have no right to comment
on such movies..this film categorises itself in different league..

Reviewers do their jobs bcoz they are earning..bad or good
they are gettinng paid for that..so they would not mind proclaming
good movie a bad one and vice-versa..better go and watch it!!

   Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra thinks out of the box and it's more than
   evident now. First AKS, then RANG DE BASANTI, now DELHI 6. A 
two-liner
   of the story may give you an impression that it's similar to 
UTV's
   earlier outing SWADES, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker: An 
American of
   Indian origin returns to his roots and decides to stay back in 
India.
   But DELHI 6 bites more than it can chew.
  
   Set in old Delhi, the screenplay [Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, 
Prasoon
   Joshi, Kamlesh Pandey] takes its own sweet time to come to the 
point.
   In fact, the entire first half is dedicated to the sundry 
characters
   in the bylanes of old Delhi, where several stories run parallel 
with
   the main plot... The two warring brothers [Om Puri, Pawan 
Malhotra]
   and the wall that divides the two; the daughter of the house 
[Sonam
   Kapoor] aspires to be an 'Indian Idol' contestant; a 
moneylender's
   [Prem Chopra] wife has an illicit relationship with one of his
   lecherous debtors [Cyrus Sahukar]; an 'untouchable' [Divya 
Dutta]
   makes more sense than the so-called thekedaars of samaj; a 
friend of
   the family [Rishi Kapoor] has still not forgotten his first love
   [Tanvi Azmi]. Oh yes, there's also a 'Kaala Bandar' who spreads 
havoc
   in the locality. Really, Rakeysh tries to pack in multiple 
stories in
   those 2.18 hours.
  
   But, alas, the problem is that barring a few individualistic
   sequences, you don't carry the film home. The film is engaging 
in bits
   and spurts. Worse, it tends to get monotonous, preachy and 
boring and
   the end is so bizarre, you actually want to ask the 
writers, 'Hey
   guys, you okay?'
  
   Let's cut a long story short: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra misses 
the bus
   this time.
  
   DELHI 6 tells the story of a young American boy Roshan [Abhishek
   Bachchan] of Indian origin, who comes to India for the first 
time, to
   drop his ailing grandmother [Waheeda Rehman]. She wants to 
retire and
   spend the last leg of her life back home; dissolving into the 
soil she
   was born in.
  
   In America, having led a very western lifestyle, Roshan is not
   familiar with the sites and smells, the food and culture, the 
religion
   and beliefs, this huge melting pot that India is. He believes 
that
   Dadi had left her family and loved ones back in America, only to
   realize that how wrong he was.
  
   The warmth and affection of the neighbourhood embraces him with 
open
   arms. Amidst all this he meets the beautiful Bittu [Sonam 
Kapoor], who
   wants to break free from the typical Indian social structure, 
to whom
   Roshan is destined to lose his heart.
  
   That Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is an accomplished storyteller is 
evident
   in several individualistic scenes. Note the scene when Vijay 
Raaz
   slaps Abhishek and Abhishek slaps him back. Also, portions in 
the
   second hour, when a Baba [Akhilendra Mishra] triggers off the
   Mandir-Masjid talk and divides the two communities, is very well
   structured. The sequences are disturbing and the writers and 
director
   succeed in exposing the fickle-minded people residing in the 
locality.

 Rahman's music is outstanding; it's easily amongst his finest works.
 'Masakali', 'Ye Dilli Hai Mere Yaar', 'Rehna Tu', 'Maula' and 'Genda
 Phool' are amazing tracks. Ditto for Prasoon Joshi's lyrics; they're
 gems. Binod Pradhan's cinematography is brilliant. Watch the Jama
 Masjid sequence [breath-taking] or the camera movements in the 
bylanes
 of old Delhi. Just one word to describe the output: Incredible!
 
 Abhishek doesn't work. Also, his American accent looks fake. Sonam 
is
 likable. Waheeda Rahman enacts her part well. Rishi Kapoor is 
wasted.
 He deserved a better role. Amongst supporting actors, Om Puri
 [powerful], Pawan Malhotra [flawless], Vijay Raaz [tremendous],

 [likable] leave a mark.

 spend the last leg of her life back home; dissolving into the soil she

 gems. Binod Pradhan's cinematography is brilliant. Watch the Jama

 Abhishek doesn't work. Also, his American accent looks fake. Sonam is
 likable. Waheeda Rahman enacts her part well. Rishi Kapoor is wasted.
 He deserved a better role. Amongst supporting actors, Om Puri

I always read this guys name as Trash. But I now have no regrets 
calling him so. His review was expected and what more can be since 
theres no Yash / Karan / SRK. That alone is the reason for him to 
review so badly. Either he was all along drowned in his phone not 
paying interest to dialogs. What made him give 3.5 to Billu if D6 is 
1.5. 
Teri oonchi shaan hai maula
Meri arzi maan le maula
Tu hai sab kuch jaanne waala
Main hoon tera maanne waala
Kaise kaison ko diya hai
Aise vaison ko diya hai

D6 is definitely a very good movie after RDB. Just like the feel 
after watching the RDB first time, I walked with a thought would this 
sell. later every scene I recall is forcing me to watch it again. 
AB is not as great as seen in Yuva but is far better than any of his

 Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra thinks out of the box and it's more than
 evident now. First AKS, then RANG DE BASANTI, now DELHI 6. A two-
liner
 of the story may give you an impression that it's similar to UTV's
 earlier outing SWADES, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker: An American 
of
 Indian origin returns to his roots and decides to stay back in 
India.
 But DELHI 6 bites more than it can chew.
 
 Set in old Delhi, the screenplay [Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Prasoon

point.
 In fact, the entire first half is dedicated to the sundry characters
 in the bylanes of old Delhi, where several stories run parallel with
 the main plot... The two warring brothers [Om Puri, Pawan Malhotra]

 [Prem Chopra] wife has an illicit relationship with one of his

 the family [Rishi Kapoor] has still not forgotten his first love

havoc
 in the locality. Really, Rakeysh tries to pack in multiple stories 
in
 those 2.18 hours.
 
 But, alas, the problem is that barring a few individualistic
 sequences, you don't carry the film home. The film is engaging in 
bits
 and spurts. Worse, it tends to get monotonous, preachy and boring 
and
 the end is so bizarre, you actually want to ask the writers, 'Hey
 guys, you okay?'
 
 Let's cut a long story short: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra misses the bus
 this time.
 
 DELHI 6 tells the story of a young American boy Roshan [Abhishek
 Bachchan] of Indian origin, who comes to India for the first time, 
to
 drop his ailing grandmother [Waheeda Rehman]. She wants to retire 
and
 spend the last leg of her life back home; dissolving into the soil 
she
 was born in.
 
 In America, having led a very western lifestyle, Roshan is not
 familiar with the sites and smells, the food and culture, the 
religion
 and beliefs, this huge melting pot that India is. He believes that
 Dadi had left her family and loved ones back in America, only to
 realize that how wrong he was.
 
 The warmth and affection of the neighbourhood embraces him with open
 arms. Amidst all this he meets the beautiful Bittu [Sonam Kapoor], 
who
 wants to break free from the typical Indian social structure, to 
whom
 Roshan is destined to lose his heart.
 
 That Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is an accomplished storyteller is 
evident
 in several individualistic scenes. Note the scene when Vijay Raaz
 slaps Abhishek and Abhishek slaps him back. Also, portions in the
 second hour, when a Baba [Akhilendra Mishra] triggers off the
 Mandir-Masjid talk and divides the two communities, is very well
 structured. The sequences are disturbing and the writers and 
director
 succeed in exposing the fickle-minded people residing in the 
locality.
 
 But the screenplay isn't foolproof. The romantic track is the 
weakest
 link in the enterprise. The love story falls flat. Also, the ending 
is
 so abstract that an average moviegoer would find it difficult to
 comprehend what the actual culmination is. The sequence in the end,
 when Amitabh and Abhishek have a conversation, looks weird. In fact,
 ridiculous. What was the need to have this sequence? It makes no
 sense. Even the Ram Leela sequences, interspersed at regular
 intervals, are forced in the screenplay.
 
 Rakeysh's handling of the subject is exemplary at places. But the
 writing [faulty at times] as also the execution of the material 
isn't
 the type that would appeal to all sections of moviegoers. A.R.
 Rahman's music is outstanding; it's easily amongst his finest works.
 'Masakali', 'Ye Dilli Hai Mere Yaar', 'Rehna Tu', 'Maula' and 'Genda

Hold on !!!
you are trusting the most horrible reviewer he gave Billu 3.5 movie 
shaved the box office. 
RDB was also trashed by the TRASH but it did score well. Trust me I 
have watched the movie and I liked it, just bcs I hate the typical 
Indian entertainment masala without sense. D6 is appealing and if you 
are careful you will definitely discover yourself. Good theme.

more from the Box office perspective while Rajeev Masand's reviews 
are based on a more holistic picture. Either ways, 8 out of 10 times, 
Taran has got it right in terms of the the possible box office 
performance of the movie. I dont like some of the comments Taran 
makes but that doesnt mean his box office performance reviews are 
thrash.

Anyways.lets hope Rajeev's review is better.

  Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra thinks out of the box and it's more than
  evident now. First AKS, then RANG DE BASANTI, now DELHI 6. A two-
 liner
  of the story may give you an impression that it's similar to UTV's
  earlier outing SWADES, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker: An 
American 
 of
  Indian origin returns to his roots and decides to stay back in 
 India.
  But DELHI 6 bites more than it can chew.
  
  Set in old Delhi, the screenplay [Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Prasoon
  Joshi, Kamlesh Pandey] takes its own sweet time to come to the 
 point.
  In fact, the entire first half is dedicated to the sundry 
characters
  in the bylanes of old Delhi, where several stories run parallel 
with
  the main plot... The two warring brothers [Om Puri, Pawan 
Malhotra]
  and the wall that divides the two; the daughter of the house 
[Sonam
  Kapoor] aspires to be an 'Indian Idol' contestant; a moneylender's
  [Prem Chopra] wife has an illicit relationship with one of his
  lecherous debtors [Cyrus Sahukar]; an 'untouchable' [Divya Dutta]
  makes more sense than the so-called thekedaars of samaj; a friend 
of
  the family [Rishi Kapoor] has still not forgotten his first love
  [Tanvi Azmi]. Oh yes, there's also a 'Kaala Bandar' who spreads 
 havoc
  in the locality. Really, Rakeysh tries to pack in multiple 
stories 
 in
  those 2.18 hours.
  
  But, alas, the problem is that barring a few individualistic
  sequences, you don't carry the film home. The film is engaging in 
 bits
  and spurts. Worse, it tends to get monotonous, preachy and boring 
 and
  the end is so bizarre, you actually want to ask the writers, 'Hey
  guys, you okay?'
  
  Let's cut a long story short: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra misses the 
bus
  this time.
  
  DELHI 6 tells the story of a young American boy Roshan [Abhishek
  Bachchan] of Indian origin, who comes to India for the first 
time, 
 to
  drop his ailing grandmother [Waheeda Rehman]. She wants to retire 
 and
  spend the last leg of her life back home; dissolving into the 
soil 
 she
  was born in.
  
  In America, having led a very western lifestyle, Roshan is not
  familiar with the sites and smells, the food and culture, the 
 religion
  and beliefs, this huge melting pot that India is. He believes that
  Dadi had left her family and loved ones back in America, only to
  realize that how wrong he was.
  
  The warmth and affection of the neighbourhood embraces him with 
open
  arms. Amidst all this he meets the beautiful Bittu [Sonam 
Kapoor], 
 who
  wants to break free from the typical Indian social structure, to 
 whom
  Roshan is destined to lose his heart.
  
  That Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is an accomplished storyteller is 
 evident
  in several individualistic scenes. Note the scene when Vijay Raaz
  slaps Abhishek and Abhishek slaps him back. Also, portions in the
  second hour, when a Baba [Akhilendra Mishra] triggers off the
  Mandir-Masjid talk and divides the two communities, is very well
  structured. The sequences are disturbing and the writers and 
 director
  succeed in exposing the fickle-minded people residing in the 
 locality.
  
  But the screenplay isn't foolproof. The romantic track is the 
 weakest
  link in the enterprise. The love story falls flat. Also, the 
ending 
 is
  so abstract that an average moviegoer would find it difficult to
  comprehend what the actual culmination is. The sequence in the 
end,
  when Amitabh and Abhishek have a conversation, looks weird. In 
fact,

I called my local rep for T-series, and he says that this is the only
package they receive, ie no booklet and no real mirror. I dont know
why T-series did not produce standard packaging. Cost issue??? anyway,
I will order from induna, but I mailed them asking for confirmation.
Hope they have complete cd n booklet.

Hey Gopal,

Funny you mentioned that.  I just received my copy of Delhi 6 from
Nehaflix in the mail and there was no booklet at all, not even an
insert!  Just some cheap packaging that looked torn.  I was so
disappointed.  For me, the artwork, lyrics and whole packaging is one
of the reasons why I buy the original CD.  I sent Nehaflix a message
about this.

[arr] Re: Delhi 6 inlay booklet?

2009-01-23 Thread Chord
Hi Gopal,

My CD has a mirror in the front.  Inside cover on the left has a photo
of Abhishek and Sonam and on the right, the CD itself with pictures of
red mirchis.  On the back cover, the track listing.  That's it.  Man,
do I feel cheated.

I COMPLETELY AGREE. What a masterpiece!!! Tears rolled over as I
listened, or rather, melted into Arziyan. Every song is so deep,
emotion evoking, rich and fabulous! This new year couldn't have been
better. It's such an experience to simply melt into each and every one
of the tracks in this movie. Now, my contention that ARR should work
only with such caliber of directors (Rakeysh, Mani, Danny) is getting
stronger and stronger :)

I bow down to you sir. I grew with your music all these years, and
today, I feel myself at a totally higher plane, listening to this
masterpiece!

I am going mad over this :)

Happy melting,

 What a masterpiece! Those are the words constantly ringing in my mind
 right now. The feeling that listening to Delhi 6 has given me is
 something that is surreal, heavenly, and of inexplicable joy. Rakesh
 Mehra has given absolute and complete freedom to ARR in rendering
 songs for Delhi 6 and how it shows! Without further adieu, here is my
 mini-review of the 10 experiences (I refuse to call them songs) in the
 order of admiration:
 
 Rehna Tu: With the initial few seconds akin to a classy RB and Pop
 number, ARR begins singing what is, in my opinion, his greatest song
 in years. ARR has simply outdone himself here. The tune, the strings,
 the cymbals, the guitar, and above all, the heavenly continuum (the
 new revolutionary instrument that ARR debuted on his recent American
 tour) combine to produce an experience beyond words. The last 2
 minutes of the song, where ARR weaves absolute magic with the
 continuum in classic carnatic essence, have given me a musical
 experience I haven't felt in my recent memory. Simply stunning,
 prepare to lose yourself.
 
 Arziyan: An experience akin to Khwaja Mere Khwaja, or dare I say even
 better, if that is possible! Javed Ali and Kailash Kher go all out in
 assisting ARR create what is, in my opinion, the best Sufi-inspired
 song I have heard in recent years, if ever. Traditional tabla beats,
 clapping, and accordion dominate the entire track, coupled with ARR's
 magical use of strings. Once again, prepare to lose yourself in 9
 minutes of pure ethereal bliss.
 
 Masakali: We have all heard the magic of the accordion in the the
 promos, and what a satisfying 5 minutes this turns out to be! ARR is
 at his playful best here, where he teases with bits of accordion and
 strings, along with the combination of Prasoon Joshi's masterful
 lyrics and Mohit Chauhan's effortless and silky singing. The humming
 and accordion are absolutely infectious.
 
 Dil Gira Dafatan and Hey Kaala Bandar: Two of the most unique and
 departure-from-tradition songs you will have heard in a long time.
 ARR once again pushes the boundaries of experimentation, and proves
 why only ARR can come up with such tunes. Dil Gira Dafatan instantly
 reminded me of Tu Bin Bataaye from RDB, because of the slow, soothing,
 and calm nature of the song. Hey Kaala Bandar is truly wacky, coupled
 with equally wacky yet catchy lyrics.
 
 Bhor Baaye: My initial suspicions proved right. Perhaps for the first
 time, this is a combination of an older recording of the legendary
 Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and the newly recorded, sweet-as-saccharine
 voice of Shreya Ghoshal into 3 minutes of pure Hindustani classical.
 Special note must go to Shreya's singing, which is flawless. My guess
 is that this will be featured as a song that one of the characters in
 the film sing at a gathering.
 
 Delhi 6: Featured in the new promos, This is where ARR goes into the
 'Paatshala' mode, with rap and hip-hop adding to make for a very
 catchy number. This will surely catch up with the young crowd once the
 film releases.
 
 Aarti Tumre Bhavan Mein: A soothing devotional, with the voices of 4
 female singers all collectively singing, most probably featuring in a
 temple scene in the film. Minimal usage of instruments, with emphasis
 resting on the collective singing. A pleasing listen.
 
 Genda Phool: Featuring the classical singing of Rekha Bharadwaj
 (Vishal Bharadwaj's better half), this is a playful fusion of
 modern-day beats and classical singing, something which Vishal
 Bharadwaj is extremely good at. This number is akin to Manmohini
 Morey, with Prasoon once again showing his mastery with words.
 
 Noor: A very short, 50-second piece featuring the deep baritone of
 Amitabh Bachchan, this is more of brief Shayari, which is a truly
 beautiful one. 
 
 What an experience ARR has given at the onset of 2009 itself! This
 genius, this legend is simply unstoppable. Onward ARR, to people's
 hearts and ears with this masterpiece of a soundtrack, and to the
Oscars! 
 
 10 out of 10 and 5 stars, without a doubt. Special note to Prasoon
 Joshi, who has come up with the most beautiful lyrics I have heard in
 years. Sorry to have bored you all with a rather long mini-review, but
 I couldn't keep my words back for this one.

  Genda Phool: Featuring the classical singing of Rekha Bharadwaj
  (Vishal Bharadwaj's better half), this is a playful fusion of
  modern-day beats and classical singing, something which Vishal
  Bharadwaj is extremely good at. This number is akin to Manmohini

Just heard from somewhere sometime next week.  As usual, another ARR
delay.  I should learn to just ignore release dates for ARR releases
as they almost never come true.  And for some reason, they happen more
often with ARR releases.

oh my, the albums looks such a treat with so many songs and range of 
music (can assume from song titles). i can see a number of new/unknown 
singers here. oh and i was thinking it is Shafqat Amanat Ali in Maula 
(Arziyan), did not realize it was Javed Ali (has he become ARR's 
favorite??). and good to see Rekha Bharadwaj, but for two songs, hmm. 
good to see Benny and Tanvi too, for two songs. annd fantastic to see 
ARR in Rehna tu.

From last few releases (CC2C, Victory, Dev D, Billu Barber)T-Series
has been releasing on timely fashion, whatever it says on promos, it
gets released on same date. Lets hope they follow the same trend for
Delhi 6 as well.

 Someone in Orkut mentioned Jan 14 as the release date for D6 music as

 expect, lest be disappointed again.

I am extremely excited about the music prospects for this film. 

Storyline reminds me of Swades in a basic way.  It's a movie about

discovery, learning, etc., which would allow for some soulful, thought

provoking music, which is right up ARR's alley.  And with Mehra known

to give quite a bit of creative freedom to ARR from his RDB

experience, look out for a stunning soundtrack coming up.  We already

know that Amitabh Bacchan heard a devotional piece Maula and just

couldn't stop listening to it.  Movie is urban based, NRI

perspectives, which should allow for some great fusion.  This

soundtrack should be out next month if the movie sticks to its Feb 20

release. 



I don't want to raise too much expectations for myself, but I am

extremely, extremely excited about the music possibilities here.  And

good to know that Sonu Nigam is singing!

 Abhishek, Sonam, Rakeysh Mehra meet the media in Dubai 

 

 by Aabha Sahai 

  Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Rakeysh Mehra at the photo call 

 for Delhi-6 in Dubai on December 14, 2008 picture: ITP Images 

 Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra presented a first look at his next 

 film Delhi-6 (earlier titled in Dilli 6) to the media at the 

 Dubai International Film Festival today (December 14, 2008).

 

 The very short, intense looking teaser was a collage of scenes from 

 old Delhi such as the Friday prayers at the Jama Masjid and cycle 

 rickshaws in the meandering lanes of the old town interspersed with 

 shots of the Statue of Liberty, a carefree Sonam Kapoor dancing with 

 a pigeon perched on her head and Abhishek Bachchan in a variety of 

 moods. And a soulful, unmistakably A.R. Rahman number in Sonu 

 Nigam's voice playing in the background.

 

 The film is about Roshan Mehra, who travels to India with his 

 ailing grandmother. Little does he realise that this short trip will 

 turn into the longest journey of his life – a journey where he 

 discovers India and himself, said Mehra. The story is told against 

 the backdrop of the walled city of old Delhi. And the number 6 in 

 the title is the postal pin code of the area.

 

 I grew up in Delhi, but contrary to media reports this film is not 

 autobiographical,  clarified Mehra. I based it in old Delhi because 

 I believe that the city is a microcosm of India in terms of our 

 mindset. But despite the ancient setting, the film is an exploration 

 of contemporary Indian society, he added. Mehra also said that 

 like Rang De Basanti, this film too has political overtones 

 because he believes that we cannot and should not avoid politics.

 

 Speaking about his role, Abhishek said, This film presents a 

 foreigner's point of view of what the real India is and I could 

 identify with that because I was away from India for many years 

 during my schooling. Doing this film was a life changing experience 

 for me and I am happy I got this opportunity to discover myself.

 

 Sonam Kapoor believes that her character Bittu represents today's 

 Indian youth. Bittu has her quirks and strengths. And I hope young 

 people learn something from her mistakes and struggles and they feel 

 inspired to accept their own culture instead of trying to blindly 

 ape others, she said.

 

 Looking strikingly pretty in a black DG dress and magenta shoes, 

 Sonam incidentally got the biggest applause when she the Delhi-6 

 team was introduced to the room full of media.

 

 The film's stellar cast includes Waheeda Rehman, Om Puri, Rishi 

 Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Pawan Malhotra, Atul Kulkarni, Supriya Pathak, 

 Tanvi Azmi, Divya Dutta, Vijay Raaz, Deepak Dobriyal and KK Raina. 

 It is co-produced by UTV and Mehra and slated for release on 

 February 20, 2009.
