Delhi 6 Review / Comments

I saw Delhi 6 first day first show, but I was not the first one to see it, I am not talking about movie piracy, all I am saying is I entered the cinema hall 15 - 20 mins late.

It took me 1Hr and 5 mins to travel 11Kms, and that’s a shame.

And that’s what the movie is all about.

The first scene I see is, our Macho hero is dancing on the terrace with his family and all of a sudden his grandma, whom he has come to drop off from US, faints and falls on the floor. They need to rush her to the hospital and our hero is surprisingly shocked by seeing himself have to take her in a hatched-back cycle in the middle of the market where there were more number of animals and people on the road than the road itself.

He shouts and rushes his way out of market to get to the main road, to find a traffic jam. Being the angry young man's son that he is, he jumps off the auto and walks to the middle of the jam to learn that there is a cow who is going to give birth in the middle of the road, right here right now! And to add to the shock, there are thousands of people gushing round the cow to see the action. There even is a shadhu making money out of this as if it’s his business to breed cows.

Our hero gets furious and yells on all to get out of the road, but all in vein. He then rushed back towards his grandma, only to find her missing, she had stepped down from the auto in her given situation and gone walking to take blessings from the cow.

Well I was stuck in the jam too, but it wasn''t so bad.

Not taking away the cake here, this is a fact and the reality on the floor.

Some section in Indian are superstitious and have blind faith in number of aspects which just leads them to their downfall. Their basic training is flawed. The clear concept and factual understanding is missing. They lack a clear subconscious. They make India a hypocrite nation wanting to blame others for their own failures and mistakes. They are unaware of their strengths and weaknesses. Their laziness over their brain disables them to explore the underlying truth. This is a reality to many.

Delhi 6 shows exactly this. The monkey with a motherboard on this chest, people pointing fingers on the monkey for their mistake and the world believing it. The untouchable tribes, the achuts. The suppressed daughters. Believing one sadhus statement he used to cover one of his lie, causing communal riots.

I mean, in what state of mind do people live.

Would highly appreciate Rakeysh Mehra's focus here and hats off to AB’s Baby for taking this concept/movie and doing a wonderful job with the American accent.

Aamir khan has started with the ad's to awaken India. ''Delhi 6'' is Abhishek Bhachan's 2hrs 50mins attempt to tell India 'Jaago'.
