Rakesysh Omprakash Mehra was on dope when he made Delhi 6. In fact all the coke and dope from Dev D is not enough to make something as crappy as Delhi 6.
Rang De was simply perfect and superb. Beyond imagination. Now I know why Aamir Khan is called a perfectionist. His creative inputs make a film successful. I wish he would have agreed to do a cameo in Delhi, as even that was enough to encourage some changes to the script -- script which is not even there right now.
Coming to Delhi 6, The entire film can be summarized in one term ...or may be two terms - UTTER CRAP.
The very fact that I have not gone back to Delhi 6 music after watching the film, shows how the movie has ruined even the musical experience.
The story is half baked, characters never grow, scenes end abruptly, and there's a justification for everything. For instance, Abhishek Bachchan starts jumping from one roof to another for no reason..till at the end you realise that he would be behaving as a kala bandar and jumping around. What logic...bravo! The love story never begins..never progresses....in fact where is the love story. There was no romance. Did anyone see any chemistry...not even biology.
The beautiful song Rehna Tu is better viewed in trailers....rather than the film where it has been disgraced royally.
As for the other songs....less said the better. Thank God A R Rahman was basking in the glory of Oscars, while his wonderful music as being massacred on the silver screen.
Trying to do a Swades 2 with metaphors and metaphors....that's what Delhi 6 is about.
So many moments when you feel that the story is leading to some high point, but alas...it never happens. You leave the hall with a distorted view of Delhi (not a single word from the song Ye Dilli Hai Mere Yaar has been translated into visuals).
Every frame is fake, characters lost and the film - Trash packaged with strong PR and hard selling.
onestly, can't write beyond this, as even thinking about Delhi 6 disgusts me right now. probably mite continue it later.
