Customer Reviews: two thumbs up March 13, 2010 Stratonautus (London, UK) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful Delhi-6 was filmed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Its stars starring Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Om Puri, Waheeda Rahman, Rishi Kapoor, Atul Kulkarni, Deepak Dobriyal and Divya Dutta. Apparently the script was based on Mehra's younger years growing up in the Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi, famous for Ghandi's sojourn. The film makes well crafted use of fantasy and reality, as experienced by the individuals portrayed, blending together in the elusive character of Kala Bandar (The Black Monkey). The film begins with Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) accompanying his grandmother Annapurna (Waheeda Rahman) to their ancestral property in crowded Delhi where she wishes to die. Roshan is initially overcome by imepressions othe Delhi neighbourhood and mad-dash runs of its inhabitants. Eventually he takes to the place and begins to embrace its sense of community. However, slowly Roshan exposed to other realities; some fermenting under the veneer of respectability and religion, some simply brough about by the infrastructure of the place... I found this movie captivating and entertaining at the same time, though a bit more fun throughout would not have been bad. It also gave me a visual and fantastical background of memories and people of places I have met and been to in beautiful India. synchronisation November 28, 2009 klautus 4 out of 10 found this review helpful Here in Germany there is (or was) a growing community for Bollywood movies. People who like that kind of cinema. Hearthworm agressivity free cinema. That started in the DVD market. In theatres that movies are very rare. First many of that products in the german market were translated to german language, nearly all in english. That is becoming fewer now, it's stopped. Even the blockbusters like Delhi 6 or Chandni Chowk are not even in english, absolutely no german. The subtitles generated by computer are most sensefree, unusable. A question of costs? Don't think so. Even the worsted "müll" from the US production is translated for the video-market. I believe it is the influence of the US media industry. They fear a loss of market for their products and put their power against it. For my person i can say: More i start learning Hindi then enjoying such valuable products as "2012" for example. The totaly loss of reality in US movie art makes it unexectable for me. Well maybe dancing people around trees are also unreal but i like it more. For this movie: only knew the music. I like it so much and it is drilling more and more in my brain.... (My 6 weeks in Bombay Area 20 years ago were the most intensive and exiting time in my life. I liked saturday nights spending at Yuhu Beach and watching the movie people work.) Brilliant film!! July 23, 2009 Mrs. P. A. Solanki (UK) 2 out of 6 found this review helpful I have a large Hindi film and Bollywood collection and this now has moved into the No 1 spot! Fab soundtrack, great message and wonderful acting all round - thanks R.O.M!! And Abishek is a bit of a hero for me, just like his dad. Something different May 18, 2010 Mrs. C. A. Gilson (Peterborough Cambs) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I had begun to watch this film on the plane coming back from India...I think mealtime got in the way of seeing the end but i had never forgotten it and was very happy to track the dvd down on Amazon.I found the plot rather confusing but the film really gets under the skin of the chaos and zest for life that typifies India...a very special film. Fun Film - Serious Message July 16, 2010 Grace Poole (Manchester, UK) I should say, this is my first venture into Bollywood type films! I was expecting something quite trivial and light. But it was actually a film with some quite serious messages along with the fun, music and laughter. Subjects such as poverty, muslim/hindu clashes and people making fun of the intellectually challenged were touched upon. But there was a lot of humour which I enjoyed. The Policeman was very funny. It brought back memories of feelings I had as a child watching films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Wizard of Oz and finding it all quite surreal. There are some fantasy moments with flying monkeys, rickshaws and the like. But just as you think it is all getting too ridiculous it comes back down to earth with something quite poignant. The music was good and there were a couple of tracks that I really liked. I think some may be ones that grow on you. In fact in the film itself there was almost too much to take in with one viewing and I think it's one of those films that might improve with a second viewing. It was cleverly and beautifully filmed. It showed the poverty and slums, but that was offset with the colourful and sumptuous Ram Leela - a kind of Festival Play. Near the end it was ironic and satisfying when the 'village idiot' appeared to be the only one who was clued up about what was going on. It won't be everybody's cup of tea. I don't know what other Bollywood type films are like yet, so I can't compare. But if you like these type of films I think you would enjoy this!
