Delhi-6 is a forthcoming Hindi film (Bollywood) film directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra starring Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni, and Divya Dutta.[1] The movie is reportedly based on Mehra's growing up years in Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi.[2] The film will be Mehra's third directorial venture after critically acclaimed Aks and the immensely successful Rang De Basanti.

Plot

American-born Indian, Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) brings his ailing grandmother back to India. Little does he know that the quick trip will turn into the longest journey of his life - a journey within. The backdrop of the story is the ancient walled city of Delhi, better known as Chandni Chowk, a character in herself. It represents the chaos, religion, beliefs and ethos of the Indian people. The PIN code of that part of the city is 110006, and with pride of love they call her Delhi-6.[3][4]

Development & Casting

In the early stages of development it was rumored that Rakeysh was going to cast newcomers for his next movie.[6] It was even reported that Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan would make his debut with this film, but this was later revealed to be "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.[7] Frequent changes in casting made headlines, with Hrithik Roshan being set to play the main character and then he being reportedly replaced by Ranbir Kapoor[8][9] Even Akshay Kumar was reportedly roped in to play the lead, but refused.[10] Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has gone on record to state that Abhishek Bachchan was always the first choice for Delhi-6. Date problems for Abhishek Bachchan delayed the film, but it all worked out in the end with Abhishek portraying the lead actor in the film which was the plan from day one.[11] Sonam Kapoor, daughter of Anil Kapoor, who made her debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya, reportedly confirmed taking part in the movie and is paired with Abhishek Bachchan.[12] Rishi Kapoor and Tanvi Azmi are also a part of the film. [13]The film went on the floors December 20, 2007. [14] Amitabh Bachchan reportedly has a small role in the film where he is supposed to play the grandfather to Roshan, played by Abhishek Bachchan. Waheeda Rahman will play the grandmother of the same character.[15] Gulshan Grover has been roped in to play Abhishek Bachchan's dad in the film.[16] Editing for the film is being done by Meghna Aschit and Rakeysh's wife Bharthi. In an interview Rakeysh said that he is not involved with the editing and is really curious to see the outcome of his work on the movie. [17]

Promotion

The movie was first unveiled on the Dubai International Film Festival. Following the screening was an interactive Question and Answer round, comprising of the director with the rest of starcast and a vast audience. During this interaction, Rakeysh spoke about his key influences and the theme of the film, while the film's actors described their experience of working with Rakeysh. A video featuring Abhishek and Sonam's interview can be watched in the reference along with this section. [18] The official trailer for the movie was released on January 4, 2009 which featured scenes from Delhi along with Jama Masjid, theatre groups, Red Fort at night, Sonam Kapoor in an unknown city and finally Abhishek watching Sonam dancing with the pigeon "Masakalli" on her head.

Music

Untitled

A.R. Rahman is the music director of this film. [19] Prasoon Joshi is the lyricist. The music released on 14th January 2009. The first video of the song "Masakalli" was released featuring Sonam and Abhishek with a pigeon.

The song "Masakalli" was not part of the original film. According to the director,"The song was not really meant to be part of the narrative. I mean, who would think of putting in a song about a dove in a film like ‘Delhi-6′? It just happened. When I came to the pre-climax portion of my script, I was stuck. I needed a continuity link taking the narrative to its finale".[20][3]

Reception

The soundtrack for the movie has received extremely positive reviews, with most reviewers hailing the album to be one of Rahman's best works. NaachGaana.com reviewed the music saying "Delhi-6 is just as rich, just as powerful, and just as awe-inspiring as his work in Slumdog Millionaire. As we take the timeless stroll down the streets of Delhi 6, let us rejoice in the phenomenon that is Rahmania". [21] A review on Bollywood Hungama said, "Delhi 6 is near perfect. If one thought that Slumdog Millionaire, Ghajini and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na were superb then just listen to Delhi 6 once. Rahman beats his own score with Delhi 6 which would easily go down as one of his best scores till date." [22] According to a review on PlanetBollywood.com, "One would think that Rahman couldn’t raise the bar any higher. Just when you wonder how high he can go, he raises the bar even higher until one feels that he has attained true musical nirvana and we are lucky enough to be along for the ride. “Dilli 6” shows a Rahman that is at the top of his game. He is a league ahead of his contemporaries and an artist that transcends global boundaries to spread the joy of his music throughout the world." [23] "Each and every song in Dehli-6 upholds the high standards Rahman has set. Romantic numbers (Dil Gira Dafatan, Rehna Tu), upbeat compositions (Delhi-6, Genda Phool, Hey Kaala Bandar), uplifting tracks (Masakkali), devotional numbers (Arziyan, Aarti—Tumre Bhavan Mein), a full-fledged classical number (Bhor Bhaye) and a short and sweet poem (Noor), Delhi-6’s OST has plenty of variety, and songs to suite everyone’s musical tastes."[24]. According to Rediff's Sukanya Verma, "A R Rahman makes waiting for his music such a worthwhile chore what with one fantastic soundtrack after another. Close on the heels of a deserving Golden Globes wins follows the anticipated score of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6. Considering its impossible-to-define Chandni Chowk roots, Rahman injects the sounds of this 10-tracked album with an eclectic fusion of various genres."[25]
