Review of Delhi-6

Delhi-6 (2009)
5/10
Another Disappointment of 2009
20 February 2009
Dilli 6 was another disappointment of the year. Not only because I went in with huge expectations but also because the movie is not up to the standards by any means be it story, acting, editing or even the direction.

The story did not real appeal to me. I believe they could have chosen some better topic than Kala Bandar. The story went haywire with monkey man on one side and Abhishek's tourist visit on the other side. First half seemed like a documentary on Delhi especially Chandni Chowk with abhishek roaming around the streets of delhi doing Motorola promotions by clicking photos. Second was still better but was not at all synchronized with the first half.

The music of the film is amazing but unfortunately most of the songs are wasted in the movie. The songs are inserted anywhere and everywyhere. Rehna Tu came out of nowhere like an Aandhi and Toofan Ki Tarah Gayaab Ho Gaya…lol

Coming to the acting I wasn't really impressed with any of the actors. Abhishek Bachchan hardly spoke in first half and whenever he spoke he was carrying American accent. He made some impact in last 15 minutes but was not enough to impress me.

Sonam Kapoor was wasted . I think she looked better in Saawariya ….In Delhi 6 I found her character a bit mentally unstable … the way she danced and spoke was a bit weird and believe me I will never fall in love with such a girl in real life.

Waheeda Rehman did quite a decent job. Rishi Kapoor didn't had much to do but impressed me whenever he came on screen. Vijay Raaz did well along with Ompuri. Vijayraaz and Abhishek Bachchan scenes were good. Abhishek and his grandfather scene cud've been avoided easily.

Dialogues were not gr8 … only a couple of dialogues by rishi kapoor were good and in the end abhishek's dialogues were impressive to a certain extent.

The editing is below standard and I was disappointed by the way editing was done. There were some a couple or more scenes where I asked myself why these scenes or dialogues were included?
