Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra is undoubtedly one of the finest storytellers that we have around. Delhi 6 is created out of a lot of love and a lot of pain, which comes across in the movie. The movie is produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The movie was released on February 20, 2009. The film casts Abhishek Bachchan as Roshan, Sonam Kapoor as Bittu who played the lead roles.
The movie makes an interesting start as it introduces multiple characters telling multi-track storytelling. After all, the movie is just a short trip, with a bit of sight-seeing thrown in. The middle part of the movie is difficult to understand that what’s the central lead is all about. However, it resolves all above conflicts in a single-stroke climax.
The core theme appears to be similar like Swades. While the screenplay remains cheerful in the first half. The art direction decently recreates the Delhi set in Rajasthan studio but is confined to four lanes at the Chandni Chowk crossroads.
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.
Rakeysh Mehra has connected very well with the audiences through his mesmerizing storytelling in Rang De Basanti . Sadly, Delhi-6 is quite colourless in that contrast.
Also, the end of the film, somehow does not seem to settle very well. The film, is in short, Rakeysh Mehra's ode to Delhi.
