Delhi 6 - A Visual treat & A Creative feast

I am not the greatest fan of Rang de Basanti, and I believe in that movie there were far too many deaths. But having said that if Rakeysh had allowed one more death in Delhi 6 then this would have been one of my all time favorites. Lets leave this thought here, but Delhi 6 is a movie with a life in it. A very well made movie, has its own flaws but has a soul as well.

Story Plot:
Roshan, played by Abhishek Bachchan returns from America to Delhi to fulfill his sick grand mother's (Waheeda Rehman) last wish of visiting Delhi. That's it. From there on the story completely revolves around a bunch of very interesting characters, their mentality, Problems, Fun, Celebration and so on. Very heart warming journey including the main character Mr.Kala bandar. The fun takes an ugly turn in second half leading to communal violence. Now the so-far-united people and their stands on this issue is what the second part portrays.
Strength:
1. The concept, creativity and the screenplay.
2. Bunch of wonderful characters.
3. A. R. Rahman's perfect score.
Weakness:
Not many actually, but to name a few -
1. Cliched Hindi film Climax, especially last couple of minutes.
2. Monologues delivered by actors in second half to force this as a message movie.
3. Inconsistent accent by Abhishek Bachchan. He has a western accent while speaking English but where as his Hindi is 'Mashalla! quite fluent'

All songs are not only great to listen but also visual treatment to all songs is just out of this world. No doubt 'Masakkali' leads the pack but the under dog song 'Dil mera...' is just too high at creativity. Sonam Kapoor, though not much scope in the movie but she is more than eye candy. Abhishek Bachchan is as usual good with his acting but other cameo roles like Atul Kulkarni, Divya Dutta, etc. are incredibly well casted! The director has complete control over the script and delivers a masterstroke with Delhi 6. Its maturity and skill of director who handles the delicate subjects with a touch of humour. Undoubtedly, one of the finest movies seen in last couple of years, and easily scores 8/10 on my scoring chart. If you need a company to watch this movie, I would like to accompany you, for the second time!
