Delhi 6 â€“ Decorously stunning

Splendiferous indeed was the spell of Rakeysh Omprakash with his ‘Rang De Basanthi’. It was nourishing the hearts of youngsters with soul of rebels who strived to make India get away from the clutches of British. Of course, in no way Rakeysh steps out from the box of theme, but this time it’s about City of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk where you feel to be into the world unseen before.

‘Delhi 6′ is about the busy streets of Chandni Chowk that’s loaded with Panwalas, Jelabi shops, good-hearted people with wonderful nature, friendliness is dwelling amongst everyone despites any barriers. Alas! ButÂ you can’t imagine India without communalism, right? Yeah, you’ve them in more quantities that’s moreover an antagonist of this film.

Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) sets out from New York to Delhi as his grandma (Waheeda Rehman) who wants to breathe her last not in shores of New York, but in her hometown.

But things are so sweet for his heart as they are certain dark shades of communalism. On the pars, Roshan gets to see that his two uncles (Om Puri, Pawan Malhotra) living in the same house have raised walls to divide their portions, their house women chat through the gap between the bricks, there’s still untouchables (Divya Dutta) and the beautiful Bittu (Sonam Kapoor) is still caged forcibly into the ancient-culture. With lots of questions prevailing in his mind, there’s Kala Bandhar (Black Monkey) terrorizing the localesâ€¦

With lots of parallel storylines, Rakeysh depicts the realities embedded inside the walls of Old Delhiâ€¦

What makes the film so beautiful is the impaling characterizationâ€¦ Everyone’s protagonist and it’s not merely Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor.

Watch the climax tie-up between Divya Dutta and Atul Kulkarni, they’re top-notching.

Not everyone can make such a film and Rakeysh deserves special mention out for it.

The picturing is so perfect that we tend to walk across the Delhi-6 area. Cinematography Biran is one more highlighting attribute that present Delhi in a different shade.

On the whole, Delhi 6 is a film that shouldn’t be missed at any cost. Mark our words, it’s all about bold reality that has been handled with fiction.
