Dilli 6

I loved the first half but the second half was equally horrible. It could have been a great movie atleast that is the impression i had until the intermission. But in the very beginning after the intermission, it started showing off that director was lost. Here is a short list summary on the movie.

Things i liked about the movie:

1. Sonam Kapoor's natural performance and her presence in the movie


2. An attempt to mix Ram Leela with the movie plot.


3. Portray of the new age middle class girl's ambitions to do something in her life and challenges she faces from the family and others in the society (cyrus's character!!??)


4. Portray of indian life from an NRI's view: closeness and disputes in big indian families, small but beautiful things that make indian life (you will hear them mostly from Ali, Rishi Kapoor but can as well feel them in the first half)


5. collage of indian and american scenes in one of the songs (in the second half). it was too colorful but interesting.


6. Awesome music.


7. vijay raaz and divya dutta's acting

5 things i hated about the movie:

1. 99% of the second half


2. too much of preaching


3. too much of noise


4. abhishek bachchan trying too hard to explain the mirror and the message of the faqir; i could see that i was loosing the charm instantly for the movie after this scene.


5. poor handling of pre-climax and climax (specially the riots related scenes and the ones in which bachchan father and son are talking to each other, why did we need that scene???)
