The Delhi-6 experience...

That Delhi-6 was made by Rakeysh Mehra is the sole reason I wanted to see the film in the first week itself. And I made it to Saturday’s matinee show!! 

The movie portrays the eclectic blend of the good, bad and ugly elements of our social structure, and the weight is evenly shouldered by every single actor. Veteran stalwarts like Om Puri, Rishi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Prem Chopra dazzle effortlessly while the younger actors like Abhishek Bachchan, Divya Dutta, Atul Kulkarni, Cyrus Sahukar and Sonam Kapoor have all done justice to their roles under the watchful vision of Rakeysh Mehra. This I say with no kind of bias, none whatsoever!! AR Rahman rocks. Period. 

While I was thinking thus, I realized this is one film I cannot categorize as “liked it” or “disliked it”. There were parts I could identify with and enjoy, and there were sequences that made me cringe. The analogies were amazing, the symbols were fantastic. 

I was contemplating how best I could put together the complete feel of the film, as I felt it, when I read this friend’s blog where he has written exactly what I would have probably penned. And now, “Amen!” is all I can say.
