Delhi 6 Movie review sify rating

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.
Preview, images and videos: All about Delhi-6 | Sonam Kapoor, the Masakali girl | Check out our special on Abhishek Bachchan

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 realise 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. Roshan is destined to lose his heart to her.

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 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. His American accent sounds fake. Sonam is likeable. 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], Deepak Dobriyal [genuine], Divya Dutta [admirable] and Cyrus Sahukar [likable] leave a mark.

Prem Chopra is alright. Atul Kulkarni looks like a buffoon. And what is Raghvir Yadav doing in this film? Supriya Pathak, Tanvi Azmi, K.K. Raina, Akhilendra Mishra and Dayashanker Pandey are passable. Amitabh Bachchan's presence in the penultimate minutes fails to evoke any reaction.

On the whole, Delhi-6 has a terribly boring beginning [first hour], an absorbing middle [second half] and a weak end [climax]. At the box-office, the business is bound to be divided. The film may record bountiful collections at multiplexes in its opening weekend. The popular music as also the fact that there's no major opposition will benefit the film in the initial days. But the business at single screens as also the mass belt will be a shocking contrast. However, the cracks will start appearing sooner than expected, even at plexes. Thumbs down!

Delhi6 movie Review Ratings - Indiatimes

Delhi-6 clearly isn’t an autobiographical take on Rakeysh Mehra’s childhood days in the capital city. That’s because the story is set around the monkey-man episode that made headlines in Delhi some years back and Mehra surely wasn’t a child then. The treatment of the film, however, gets childishly corny at places. Of course do not expect a thriller treatment with the monkey-man chapter. Rather, Delhi-6 thematically apes the banner’s (UTV) own Swades (2004) and remains a social drama all through.

So you have the purported protagonist Rohan Mehra (Abhishek Bachchan) coming to India, though this time not to fetch his nanny, but to get his granny (Waheeda Rehman) to Delhi gullies where she wants to spend the final phase of her life. In the bylanes of Chandni Chowk in old Delhi, Rohan is introduced to customs, conventions and relations alien to him. Meanwhile panic spreads in Delhi as news of random attacks by a mysterious creature titled monkey-man makes headlines.

Muddled up between the liking for his land and ladylove Bittu (Sonam Kapoor), the movie progresses as monkey-man gives ways to discuss social and political issues like the Hindu-Muslim and upper-lower class divide.

The movie makes an interesting start as it introduces multiple characters and gets into multi-track storytelling. But soon the characters and the tracks start jumbling up, giving way for continuity lapses in the multi-dimensional narrative. It’s surprising that the same multi-layered storytelling that Rakeysh Mehra exploited brilliantly in Rang De Basanti , intermittently handicaps the narration in Delhi-6 .

Midways the movie, it’s still difficult to comprehend what’s the central lead of the story amongst Rohan’s love for Bittu, Bittu’s quest for Indian Idol independence, grandma’s loyalty towards motherland or a family feud (Om Puri – Pawan Malhotra sibling rivalry). Unfortunately even the monkey-man track doesn’t help connecting the individual installments and rather works only on peripheral level. However, it resolves all above conflicts in a single-stroke climax, in addition to an Ayodhya-Babri Masjid kind of issue it incites towards the end.

The core theme bears a striking resemblance with Swades which is augmented by the theatrical Ram Leela episodes and the cast-and-class concerns it tackles. But while Ashutosh Gowariker had a direct approach of facing the issues of India in Swades , Mehra handles it indirectly using the monkey-man metaphor. While the screenplay remains cheerful in the first half, it doesn’t escape the preachy trappings in the climax.

Some smart gems in the screenplay include the scene where a cow is delivering amidst jam-packed main road traffic and being worshipped by every passerby. And an abstract-cum-artistic sequence from the same screenplay includes an Indo-American fusion fantasy song ‘ Dil Gira Dafatan ’ which confuses in conveying its concept. There isn’t any conspicuous chemistry between the lead pair of Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor. And Amitabh’s intangible appearance in the last scene was absolutely avoidable.

The art direction decently recreates the Delhi set in Jaipur studio but is confined to four lanes at the Chandni Chowk crossroads. Binod Pradhan employs disturbing camera movements while Vaibhavi Merchant adds grace to Masakali movements. Rahman’s soulful music lacks a befitting body though.

From its eclectic cast, it’s startling to see that the supposed lead players Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor have very shallow characterizations and thereby weak screen-presence as well. With his existing image, it’s difficult to visualize Abhishek Bachchan as a NRI. It never comes across in his accent, attitude or outlook. Sonam Kapoor’s immature act isn’t impressive.

The better performances come from the character-artist cast of Deepak Dobriyal, Atul Kulkarni, Vijay Raaz, Pawan Malhotra and Om Puri. Rishi Kapoor is pleasing but his character is too short-lived. Same for Divya Dutta, who is likeable in her small role. Waheeda Rehman sounds stressed.

Comparison with Mehra’s last attempt is inevitable, thereby generating gigantic expectations. Rakeysh Mehra seamlessly connected with the audiences through his mesmerizing storytelling in Rang De Basanti . Sadly, Delhi-6 is quite colourless in that contrast.

Delhi 6 movie ratings review rediff

Thousands of people in Chandni Chowk watch with intensity as the Ramayana [Images] unfolds on stage when their attention is suddenly jarred by the appearance of a local politician in saffron clothes, who makes a spirited speech and disappears. The sequence, shot by director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra in his consistently inventive, funny, entertaining and life-affirming cautionary tale Delhi-6 [Images], is highly comical.

But like most of the funny scenes in the film -- including the frantic search for the kala bandar (black monkey), who is reportedly harassing the citizens of Delhi -- the Ramayana scene is also linked to the darker situations that unfold in the film's last quarter.

Delhi-6, which had its world premiere in New York on Sunday, was greeted well by the audience. Word-of-mouth is crucial in letting the word spread when the film opens on February 20, that it rewards those who are not seeking instant gratification. All the episodes, which may seem isolated in the beginning, are seamlessly brought together in the second half.

Mehra says he wanted to show the film without an intermission but the distributors cautioned him that theatre owners would decide to have a break on their own.

The new film does not offer many complicated stories as those found in Mehra's previous hit, Rang De Basanti , but this film is a worthy follow up to its predecessor.

It may look like the film centres around Roshan (a thoroughly engaging Abhishek Bachchan [Images]), born and raised in America, who returns to Delhi to leave behind his ailing grandmother (Waheeda Rehman ). He falls for a free-spirited but conflicted woman (Sonam Kapoor [Images]), who is preparing to become next Indian Idol [Images].

But the film is not just about two young people. It seeks to capture the bigger picture of a neighbourhood. Its episodes capture a raft of conflicts involving families, politicians and two religious communities, Hindus and Muslims. The film creates a wonderful world of a vast neighborhood in old Delhi. But its concerns -- including how the fear of the black monkey is manipulated by one community to punish the minority community -- have wider implications.

As Mehra says of his episodical film (written with lyricist Prasoon Joshi [Images]) that while it is firmly centered in old Delhi and is filled with local colour, its concerns are universal.

Despite Abhishek and Sonam's romantic entanglement being a major part of the film, its appeal is enhanced by half a dozen glorious performances. Mehra deftly exploits the comic talent of Vijay Raaz , who is far more amusing here than in Monsoon Wedding [Images], as the pompous, corrupt and opinionated police officer. And then there is Rishi Kapoor's [Images] character, who cannot forgive himself for not having had the courage to declare his love years ago and who will now make sure that Roshan won't make the same mistake.

There is hardly a character in the film who is not anchored to the film, and Mehra ensures that even a small gesture adds to the film's proceeding.

Sonam Kapoor, who showed ample promise in her debut film Saawariya , not only looks alluring but has also grown into an actress of subtle power. Whether she is doing a comic scene, or dancing to the feisty Masakali song or executing an act of rebellion against her family's plans for an arranged marriage, she hits the right notes. It is indeed not an easy thing to hold your own in a film filled with an admirable ensemble cast.

Among the many amusing scenes that are also illuminating is the one that begins with dadi (Waheeda Rehman) suddenly taking ill. She is being rushed to a hospital in a cycle rickshaw much to the frustration of her grandson Roshan who is perhaps thinking the care she would have gotten in America. The rickshaw is stalled as hundreds of people have gathered to see a cow in labour in the middle of a road. The event has religious significance. But Roshan is petrified; he wants to get his grandmother to the hospital the soonest. He sets out to disperse the crowd and by the time he manages to do it -- you have guessed -- the grandmother has disappeared. We then see her gingerly walking towards the cow. She has more than recovered, and her heart is full of piety.

Mehra and Joshi do not ridicule her faith. But the sequence also serves as a powerful reminder of generational and faith gap between two people who love each other, and who can indeed tolerate each other's opinion.

The climax, which also involves the black monkey, has been imaginatively devised but nevertheless, it is a bit labored. However, it also serves as a good moral ending and could send viewers home in a happy mood.

Delhi 6 movie review - Monkey man exists - LiveMint

After 2006's Rang de Basanti, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra was feted as the chronicler of Indian dreams and disappointments. A title like that is a big cross to bear, especially when it's time to make your next film. With Delhi-6, Mehra tries to make another what's-wrong/right-with-India movie and--god I feel so bad saying this--completely loses the plot.

This time too, like in RDB, he attempts to weave together multiple narratives that you hope will meet in that Crash Bang Climax. Instead, he leaves us wondering What Just Happened.

Mehra sets his new film in the choked gullies of Old Delhi (recreated mostly in Sambhar, Rajasthan) where Hindus and Muslims live in apparent harmony. Simultaneously, he introduces the breaking news story of an infamous/mysterious Monkey Man (surely you remember him from Delhi circa 2001?). If you read the creature's Wikipedia entry before you see the film, you'll be familiar with a sizeable chunk of this part of the plot including the illustration and the theory about the motherboard concealed under its fur.

Mehra bombards us with a dizzying array of characters in the first half of a film that's as crowded as the lanes it's shot it. But now I'm confusing you; let me start at the beginning.

Abhishek Bachchan is Roshan, a grandson who brings his ailing Dadi (Waheeda Rahman, beautiful as ever) back from the US to her home in Delhi-6.

When Bachchan first hears the story of the Monkey Man on the television channel above the conveyer belt at the airport, you think the NRI is experiencing just another we-are-like-this-only moment. But when the Kala Bandar begins to pop in and out of the plot with more frequency than many of the other characters; and when the Delhi-6 Ram Lila Committee and a strident sadhavi make their appearance, you get an inkling this is all going to end messily.

Dadi is welcomed back home by family friend Ali Baig (Rishi Kapoor) who was once madly in love with Roshan's mother. She accepts his paan at the airport and declares: "Now I can die in peace".

For the next hour, Abhishek meets the neighbourhood. Let's see, there are two warring brothers and their families; Bittu, lead actor Sonam Kapoor, is the daughter of the grouchier brother played by Om Puri. Then there's their unmarried sister, the low-caste garbage collector called Jalebi, the useless policeman Choudhary, the jalebi seller; the local idiot, the Muslim elder, the moneylender with his young wife who's having an affair with the neighbourhood photographer who's helping Kapoor fulfil her dream of becoming an Indian Idol (because "wohi to ek cheez hai jo ordinary middle class ladki ko nobody se somebody bana sakti hai"), the Kala Bandar of course and half a dozen other characters I've probably forgotten.

Waheeda Rahman looks like she's having fun in the first half (before disappearing in the second half) as she does her own "maut ke liye shopping". In another sequence, she collapses while she's talking to her daughter-in-law on the laptop and is rushed to the hospital on a cycle rickshaw which is forced to stop because the road is blocked by a cow in labour.

There are funny dialogues, and nice insights about how backward (caste, arranged marriages, superstitions, religion) and forward (Chandrayaan) we are (and Bachchan records them all on his Motorola cell phone). If you thought Slumdog had Indian detail, wait till you see the kaleidoscope that is Delhi-6. But sometimes, when you're so focused on getting all the little things right, the big picture can slip out of your hand.

After the Interval, the Kala Bandar momentum picks up; they've already merchandised the creature. Then, as if there aren't enough characters floating around, Baba Bajrangi shows up to exorcise the creature--and floats the idea that it might belong to a specific community. Now everybody wants to know if the KB is a Hindu or a Muslim.

"Bandar ek musalmaan atankwadi hai," someone announces. Things implode and explode even as Ravan's Lanka is set ablaze by Hanuman in the other parallel Ram Lila track. By now poor Dadi is saying, "Ab to yahan marne ka bhi dil nahi karta."

It all comes to a head in a climax that I'm not going to reveal here (except to say that it almost seemed to me that co-producers UTV Motion Pictures suggested to Mehra that he change the dramatic ending to make it not so dramatic).

If one could judge a movie just by its soundtrack, this one would be brilliant. But even the songs leave you bemused in the film. At one point, three songs play almost back-to-back; Arziyan is shot to Rishi Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan playing pool. Bachchan and Kapoor have only one song together--he walks through a door to emerge at Times Square along with the cycle rickshaws and jalebiwalas in dream sequence Dil Gira. Don't miss the Godzilla-inspired shot in this song.

Moral of the story? The Kala Bandar resides within us and not out there. But details be damned, Mehra's tedious lectures about the way we are just don't ring true.

Delhi6 first movie review rating - TOI

We're like this only. We may not have much to boast about in our hand-to-mouth existence, but we're happy, contented, carefree. We're like this only. We fight, squabble, break bones and sometimes, heads too, but we're bhai-bhai, despite differences in caste and community. Of course, we're like this only: a great extended family that has its differences but ends up united in the end. So what if in between, some ugly `isms' -- like communalism, casteism -- do create a few schisms. After all the quintessential Indian experience manifests itself only in the slummy chawls of Mumbai and the grubby alleys of Delhi-6, better known as Chandni Chowk, where humanity overrules everything else. After Rang De Basanti, which raised a toast to the young rebel, filmmaker Rakeysh Mehra chooses to become a flag bearer for the good-at-heart Indian in Delhi 6. Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan), the archetype for the NRI babalog, arrives in Delhi-6 on a short trip to leave his ailing grandmother (Waheeda Rehman) home. Now Dadi, a doughty old woman, doesn't want to die in the distant shores of New York and forces her son to send her back to her old, moth-balled haveli in Chandni Chowk. The son hates India, a communal cauldron which forced him to flee with his Muslim wife, so grandson agrees. After all, it's just a short trip, with a bit of sight-seeing thrown in, he tells himself. But hey, hasn't he heard about roots and the theory of relativity (read umpteen overzealous relatives)!

Dadi shakes off the cobwebs, swoons over a banarsi paan, snuggles up to all her biradari and bustee wallahs (friends and relatives) and picks up the strings of a life she'd never wanted to give up. Roshan however begins on a predictable yuppie-yankee note and smiles indulgently at the teeming chaos: the cows in the street, the kitschy Ramleela shows, the kite and pigeon flying soirees on the terraces, the polo session with Uncle Beg (Rishi Kapoor) and the jalebi sessions with the boys next door. And before he knows, he's gently sucked into the chaos himself. Specially when he can't understand why firebrand Imarti (Divya Dutta) is an untouchable; why the unfriendly neighbourhood cop (Vijay Raaz) has a Hitler fetish; why his uncles (Om Puri, Pavan Malhotra) have built a wall in their house, while their wives gossip relentlessly through a loose brick. Or else, why the beautiful Bittu (Sonam Kapoor) chooses to have her wings clipped, like the white dove, Masakali, when she too can fly and fulfil her dreams.

And if that isn't dramatic enough to hold our boy back to where he belongs, there's the infamous Monkey Man and his escapades that became an urban legend in saddi Dilli, not so long ago. The filmmaker interestingly uses the metaphor of the Monkey Man (Kala Bandar) to symbolise the beast within and blends different vignettes of contemporary India to create a composite picture. One that holds up the mirror to the modern Indian and shows him up as both heroic and beastly; communal and comrade-like. Ironically, it is this metaphor which becomes stretched and almost funny in the climax, drawing away from the appeal of the film. The shoddy climax, replete with a scene from heaven, and the sluggish pace of the film do detract from the delicious flavour of Delhi 6, which, all said and done, is a delectable paapdi-chaat of big, bustling, bulging India. The director creates a whole gallery of mesmeric characters, though one wishes he had focussed a bit more on bubbly Bittu, specially since Sonam has such a pleasant screen presence.

Unfortunately, she's left as a mere sketch on this colourful canvas, where, once again, Abhishek Bachchan proves he's in crackling, quicksilver form as the `burger-chaap' Amrikan who tells his bustee wallahs to `get real'. Rahman's Masakali music has already become a chartbuster, even as veterans like Waheeda and Rishi reiterate the truism about old being absolute gold. Watch it for the message of Delhi 6 and the ekdum desi India-feel.

Amitabh bachchan guest appearance delhi 6

The suspense is out! The producers of DELHI 6, UTV and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, had kept Amitabh Bachchan's cameo in the film hidden from all and sundry. Now it can be told. The veteran stars in the film, albeit in a brief role. He first appears in a photograph, when Waheeda Rehman walks into the ancestral home and refers to Bachchan Sr. as her husband. Yep, Bachchan Sr. enacts the role of Abhishek's grandfather in the film. Bachchan Sr. eventually appears on the screen towards the end, during a crucial part of the climax. The sequence brings the real-life father son together. Of course, we wouldn't like to spill the beans, but the sequence is vital for the film.

Sonam Kapoor talks after watching Delhi 6 in New york city

Sonam Kapoor hasn't recovered yet from the 'shock' she had watching Delhi 6 at its New York premiere at the Museum of Modern Art. "I knew I had a few scenes in the film but they really stand out thanks to Rakyesh Mehra [director of Delhi 6]," she says. The actress whose luminous performance and the ability to hold her own against the much experienced Abhishek Bachchan in the film consolidates her reputation as being one of the most versatile of the contemporary artists. She plays Bittu, a middle class woman, who finds her life suffocating and seeks a new future by entering the Indian Idol competition."What I saw on the screen was 500 times more than what the script indicated," she says of her character, and the film in general. She is taking kudos from well-wishers and journalists on Monday, confessing that she is still flabbergasted by the events -- of being feted in New York, of being mobbed by eager fans, and of being told how much they admired her father's performance in the Oscar-bound Slumdog Millionaire.

She says that if Delhi-6 happens to be her only release following her debut in Saawariya over a year ago, it was a matter of choice.

"I was given many good scripts following Saawariya," she continues. "But I would like to do one film at a time. I give to each film so much of myself that I am afraid I cannot do justice to more than one film at a time -- at least for now." Her next will be an adaptation of one of her all-time favourites Jane Austen's Emma and it is being produced by her father, Anil Kapoor.

Delhi6 first screening details NYC

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra missed his Saturday-night flight to New York for a very special screening of Delhi-6, when the flight left it carried producer Ronnie Screwvala, Sonam Kapoor and Rakeysh's wife Bharti, but not Rakeysh and Abhishek.

Instead, Rakeysh Mehra together with his leading man Abhishek Bachchan headed for New York on Sunday morning for the Sunday-night screening of Delhi-6 at the super-prestigious Museum Of Modern Art.

Rakeysh spoke in transit from Dubai, "We wanted to finish with this NY screening before having our first screening for cast crew and family. I'm absolutely proud that it's being screened at MOMA. Very proud that they chose Delhi-6. MOMA is not a theatre one can hire for a screening. Their curator saw our film. He sent an email saying it'd be a pleasure to screen our film at MOMA."

No other film from any part of the world ever has been premiered at MOMA.

Rakeysh refused to take the credit. "It's not about just Delhi-6. India is doing well all over the world. So our cinema is bound to benefit from that. Happily for us, Delhi-6 is as Indian as it can get. I haven't designed the film for Western audiences. We need to cultivate a taste for our recipe among western audiences and not cater to their tastes."

But before that on Saturday evening, Rakeysh watched the entire release print on his own. Not even the film's lead pair or the director's wife Bharti, who edits his films, were allowed to join Rakeysh.

"Just me in the theatre with my film. For the sake of watching my film all alone before it's given over to the world, I cancelled my flight to New York on Saturday. I was supposed to leave for NY on Saturday night, I left on Sunday night, just so that I could watch my film with me all alone. I didn't want anyone else with me. After this I don't think I'll watch the film again."

Rakeysh liked what he saw. "I deserved this opportunity to have the entire theatre to myself and watch my baby before it's given over to the world. I've never given this leave-taking to any film of mine earlier. Yeah, I feel the baby can stand up on its own feet now. Not that one can ever be satisfied with what one makes. Rahman once told me getting 90 percent of what you want to create is very hard. But getting from 90 to 91 percent is just as hard. That last lap is impossible to achieve. There's no finishing line. I wish I had one more month with Delhi-6. But it has to go out now."

Rakeysh and his team return to Mumbai on Tuesday for a screening for the cast and crew. "And then we've a formal premiere of Delhi-6 on Thursday, not in Mumbai but Delhi. Why Delhi? It is a film about Delhi, isn't it? My film belongs to Delhi and all the small cities of India."

Concludes Rakeysh, "We've done as much we could for the film. The rest is not up to us."

Delhi 6 Premieres New york city

If Shah Rukh Khan starrer Billu had its premier in London, Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor starrer Delhi 6 had its red carpet opening in New York.

Abhishek’s journey in Delhi 6 begins from New York, so it was totally apt to have its first screening in the city. And the film's stars, Abhishek and Sonam were also present for its big premiere at the Big Apple on Sunday evening.

“The movie starts in New York. My character is from New York and somebody to start the film here and have the first public screening over here so I think it is wonderful circle,” says Abhishek.

“I am thrilled that the movie has its first show in New York. I am in love with this city,” says Sonam.

Abhishek plays Rohan, an NRI who comes to India to escort his grandmother to her original home in Old Delhi, also known as Delhi 6.

But this trip turns out to be a soul searching trip for Rohan. Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra uses this locality to portray the tensions prevailing in modern Indian society.

“Delhi 6 is a microcosm of India,” says Rakeysh.

Filmmaker Mira Nair was among the local New York celebrities who showed up for the premiere. Also present was Abhay Deol. But, a prominent absence was that of music director A R Rahman, who will be seen at the Oscars later this month.

Delhi 6 movie teamed as one family

The director got one makeup person Vikram Gaikwad to take care of everyone's makeup. Says Abhishek Bachchan, "None of us had his or her own makeup room. We all got ready together in the same room and got the hair, makeup and wardrobe done together. And there was one makeup person. We also had one common dining room where we all had to sit together to eat. So it was in a sense about building a bond beyond the screen. None of us had a van on location. We all sat together when we weren't shooting. We all had rooms in the same building. It was like sleeping in a dormitory. It added to our sense of community. This made our relationship on the sets so strong we didn't have to act like a family in the film."

Says Abhishek, "It was an exercize in team building. Even when we were not shooting Rakeysh Mehra sat with us and discussed the script. Ten of us actors would sit together in a corner and discuss the script while another bunch faced the camera."

The camaeradeie extended way beyond the camera. Says Abhishek, "Even on days when I wasn't working I'd be on location to interact with them even though the place I stayed was a good hour-and-a-half away from where we were shooting. The camaraderie was unbelievable. We were in Sambar for two-and-a-half months and did everything together. We did extensive reading together. Lots of rehearsals."

The script sessions continued even when the camera was switched off . "Rakeysh would organize evenings when he'd read scripts to the entire star cast. He ensured there was a lot of bonding going on, so that there was a great comfort level when everyone got on the sets. Since a lot of the film is about inter-personal relationships it was very important for actors, some of whom didn't know one another, to appear as though they knew one another from childhood."

Abhishek grows sentimental, "We were truly like one big family. Though it was a set we felt it was home."

Sonam Kapoor role in delhi 6

Sonam Kapoor loves to play the role of a good daughter in real life.

With Slumdog Millionaire being slammed for the ‘ brand of poverty’ it highlights, the Saawariya girl is quick to defend the movie, which stars her father Anil Kapoor.

“India is largely a poor country, which makes it a kind of underdog nation. So, I don’t understand the controversy about showing poverty in Slumdog Millionaire ,” said Sonam, responding to a question on Amitabh Bachchan’s criticism of the film.

“ It is a democratic country and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I loved the film.

I think it’s a typical masala film like any Hindi project,” added Sonam, who was in the Capital on Friday. In fact, she has already watched Slumdog Millionaire twice.

Bachchan senior had stated in his blog about fellow bloggers complaining that the film projects India as a “ Third World dirty underbelly developing nation”. Sonam said her father had really worked hard for the film and deserves all the accolades.

“ Thursday night ( when the Oscar nominations were out) called for parties and celebrations.” Sonam is also happy about the way her career is shaping up. Interestingly, she justified her ultra- choosy attitude saying she wants projects which will offer commercial success and artistic satisfaction.

“ I can’t be compared to Deepika,” she said, when asked about the latter’s impressive line- up of films. “ Deepika is doing commercially viable and formula- laden flicks. But I am looking for artistic sensibilities as well in my projects. Anyway, it takes almost a year to make a good film.” Sonam has been in news recently for claiming that she is not merely a showpiece in her films, unlike several of her counterparts. “ I am not just an ornament or a pretty face in my films,” she repeated on Friday.

Sonam had earlier announced that she isn’t in the industry “ just to wear good clothes and look pretty”. She added: “ Off screen, I am like any other college- going girl.” When asked if she has been an underdog career- wise, Sonam said she felt on top of the world. “ I was literally born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have worked with two big two directors and actors in two big films. What else can I ask for?” she shot back.

After Saawariya in 2007, Sonam is now looking forward to Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6, which opens on February 20.

“ Abhishek Bachchan and I share great chemistry on screen. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also joined us during the shoot and we would have a party every 10 days. But our DJ would only play songs from the 80s and 90s because he only had those songs with him,” she recalled.

Sonam, who plays a simpleton in Mehra’s film, said many girls will identify with her character. “ My character, Bittu, has qualities which most girls have in them,” she said.

Hey kala kala kala bandar
Bahar hai ya andar
Hey kala kala kala bandar
Jo dhundhe sikandar

Everybody looking for da monkey out there
Hey kala kala kala bandar
Jo dhundhe sikandar
Its was'nt me I swear
Everybody looking for da monkey out there
Bring da kala bandar
Bring da kala bandar
Everybody looking for da monkey out there
Aao Hum shisha dekhe
Apna sandesha dekhe
Apna Ghayal Hissa dekhe
Apna asli kissa dekhe
Ghonghat ki gehrai mein
Par Phailai kaun
Jhak Safed Libason mein
Kala sa sach maun hai
Choose le Choose Le choose Le choose Le
Life ki bhaag le
Choose le Choose Le choose Le choose Le
Life ki bhaag le
Thak jhank thak jhank thak jhank
Dil mein bhi jhank le
Its was'nt me I swear
Everybody looking for da monkey out there
Bring da kala bandar

Everybody looking for da monkey out there
Kasmein to mumfhali
Jab jee chahe hum khaten
Upper se na na kartein
Par thali aage sarkaten
Ek thali ke chatee bateein
Armaan hai hatte katte
Natak yeh natak natak
Band kar do jhoot ka fatak
Choose le Choose Le choose Le choose Le
Life ki bhaag le
Choose le Choose Le choose Le choose Le
Life ki bhaag le
Thak jhank thak jhank thak jhank
Dil mein bhi jhank le
Saare rit rivaz hata kar
Dekho apne ghar ke anadar
Shyad kahin kisi kone par
Ghoom raha hai Kala bandar
