Delhi 6 - A Sixer by ROM! The Roshan that conquered the Bandar of movies, Delhi 6 for me was enlightening and a refresher of what life should be and what religions should be. Chandini Chowk of Delhi has be chosen as a fantastic backdrop to explore different theme such as personal freedom, caste differences, religious differences and above all the darkness that every man has in him that brings out his acts of supidity. I am previledged and honored to write the movie review of Delhi 6 as my first post in this blog. What can free a man form ignorance? The Light! And that light came in the form of Abhishek Bachchan trying to make a difference in this small block of Chandini Chowk. A movie full of metaphors and symbolism that is truly a masterpiece in my opinion. A very unique and new style of narration and story telling thats fresh and interesting for the viewer. There are no dull moments, the comedy and music interwoven with the story itself. Its weaved and weaved like the rich Indian silk and the end product is nothing short of grandeur, and excellence and mastering of the art of cinema by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra. Masakalli the white dove that symbolizes freedom; Roshan the light that frees the darkness; Kala Bandar the black monkey, the ignorance that surrounds us; the Tulsi tree the symbol of a new beginning and the story of Ramayan, the rich history the land of India is proud of and of course draws the parallels with the incidents; the mirror which reflects that Gods within search for him inside! A R Rahmans music and background score is the cool magical rain for the rustic Chowk! Abhishek, Sonam, Waheeda, Rishi Kapoor, Atul, Divya Dutta, Om Puri excel as actors. Binod Pradhans cinematography is treat for the eyes and Prasoon Joshi's lyrics are lasting. The movie that might fail with the masses is sure to enthrall the urban enthusiastic and the sophisticated! A movie that will last Delhi 6 is a Sixer by ROM! Hats Off! P.S: Critics like Taran Adarsh and others who bashed the film theres just one thign I've got to say, you guys aren't matured enough to understand new cinema or change in Hindi Cinema or the maturity to understand rich cinema and mature subjects dealt in a sophisticated movies like Delhi 6, therefore Grow Up!
