First off, its been a month since I last blogged, there’s a specific reason about it. Will enlighten about it in another post. But for now lets get back to the movie of the moment, Delhi-6.

Cut back to few weeks when I first heard the songs from the movie. Fell in love with the soundtrack instantly. It was also the first time that I liked a Chhattisgarhi filmi song [Genda Phool]

So about the movie.. the protagonist, Roshan Mehra is an NRI and comes down to Delhi-6 as his grandma wishes to take her last breath at her homeland. He’s kinda shy initially considering that he witnesses typical India/ Delhi in the streets of Delhi-6. What is annoying is that absolutely everything is “kewl” to him.
Abhishek fails to impress in his American accent dialogues and if you read somewhere that Abhishek has like ~15 lines in the movie its absolutely correct.

This is the first time I’ve watched Sonam Kapoor and was really impressed by her. This gal can surely act. She didn’t had much of a role in the movie but her story is well written and carried out quite well.

The neighbours, street wallas portrayed in the movie do impress. The casting is great! Each character has his/ her story going on, but a centralised story line is missing.

The Ramleela scenes tend to get boring after a while and that goes on well with the Kaala Bandar Case too.

The climax has been changed, but I should say that it would have been better if Roshan had died in the end. The whole scene of him meeting with his Grand Pa in Heaven is unwanted.

Cinematography is top class. The way the camera pans over Jama Masjid in the song ‘Arziyaan’ is awesome! One is awestruck by how beautiful Chandni Chowk looks in this movie. So completely different from Chandni Chowk to China.

What to write about the songs? Am in love with them. I listen to the album so often that Shraddha had forbade me to listen to them for a while. My only complain is that the songs are not aired fully. Only the songs Genda Phool and Dil Gira Dafatan are played fully and of the rest only a stanza or half song is played.

Overall I’d say that its an average movie. Don’t go to the theatre expecting much cause you’ll be greatly disappointed.

I watched the movie last week in Rjn along with Nivita n Kriti.
If you know me you would be knowing how very much I hate SRK. I went to see the movie just for the sake of Deepika Padukone & Arjun Rampal. Had’nt expected much from the film as it was another directorial venture from Farah Khan.

Must say it surpassed the expectations…mind it but only the first half, when the 70s era was shown [The whole Bhago and Omaswami sequence]. The film grew very predictable in the second half and was kinda boring… though we laughed on at most of the scenes courtesy two aunties who sat behind us. The aunties were saying things in Chhattisgarhi that made the three of us ROFL.

Even the climax had been predicted by me. I had said earlier when Shanti had died that she become a ghost and it surely came true.

The songs were nice though.. liked almost everyone of them..

The film solely belonged to SRK. Deepika had screen presence but hadn’t been given much dialogues. Here expressions were great though. Liked Arjun Rampal a lot!! Started hooting @ his first scene. Though he was the reason we laughed a lot cause the aunties didn’t liked him. Vishal-Shekhar’s music is surely appealing, am their fan eversince I first heard the music of Salaam Namaste.

Would surely rate it as 4/5. I know its a lot. But the rating has been given cause it sure was a complete entertainer and made us laugh in the grieving times of our practicals… the next day we had C final practical

Was checking out rediff.com when I came across an article which was about Chak De India’s DVD. The DVD went on sale from today, is a Collectors Double DVD pack, costs only Rs. 399/-
