Delhi 6

All things said and done... Great website
Imagine a movie plot with too many thoughts to be expressed. Actually so many ideas you want to bring out that you cannot fit it into one movie. So you neatly lay out all these ideas flat on a sheet of paper, cut the sheet into many pieces and try to put together a collage. The movie now has only nice looking pieces, but loses its story flow.
That's how I felt when I watched Delhi 6. So many scenes end so abruptly that it makes you wonder if it was meant to be that way or if someone did a bad job with the editing.
With such a star cast, music, location like old Delhi - the movie could have been so much more. My greatest disappointment was my favourite song Dil Gira - picturisation of which was such a let down :( Innovative - yes, appealing - maybe not.
When shooting in old Delhi, there are so many things places/culture/activities that can be showcased, but that doesn't happen here. Where Rang De Basanti had so many lovely locations/shots/picturisation this movie comes no where close to it. The only saving grace is beautiful Sonam Kapoor.
Half way through the movie you start wondering.... What were they thinking
