Delhi - 6

After watching a terrible movie like Vaaranam Aayiram (VA) from a fantastic director, I guess I thought things could not get worse. But it did! The movie that I dared to watch after VA was Delhi - 6 and damn I couldnt have made a worse choice. Vijay's movie would've been 10 times better. Now maybe that was a bit too harsh.. I take it back.. We all know nothing can be as bad as Vijay's movies :-)

The movie starts off with disconnects in the scenes which we assume will fall into place during the course of the movie which unfortunately doesnt happen even till the end credits start rolling. I felt the essence of the movie was very similar to that of Swades. But compares nothing to the original. Swades was a brilliant movie with brilliant screenplay and fantastic acting. The characters were strong and had distinct identities. Delhi - 6 has none of this.

Cons:

• Bad screenplay


• Terrible dialogues.. failed to create any impact whatsoever


• Subtle humor was intended.. turned out to be too subtle.


• Loose characters


• No coherence


• The love scenes had no depth


• Kaala bandhar was bloody overdone


• No sensible reasoning behind any of Abhishek's decisions
• I thought 'rehna tu' was a romantic song.. but it was playing even when Abhishek was talking to Rishi Kapoor or any body on the road for that matter. Am I mistaken or is this really a con??


• Whatever happened to Sonam Kapoor's dream of becoming the Indian Idol?

Pros:

• Sonam Kapoor's fresh face.

To sum it up.. the movie SUCKS! Just cannot believe its from the guy who made a movie as intense as Rang De Basanti.
