I decided to watch this movie only because I found Atul Kulkarni in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film once again and I was not wrong. Though there was nothing much to do for him in the movie but yes a didactic note, a value addition, an ethical sense of humanity was delivered by him and was done aptly.

Sonam Kapoor and Abhishek Bachhan in Delhi6

Abhishek Bachhan, played the pivotal, with actress being Sonam Kapoor. Being very upfront there was nothing new in the story barring the last few scenes where the director finally came up with what he wanted viewers to understand from a long time. The story was based on the notion of  having a ‘Kala Bandar’ in a mildly superstitious but harmonically arrested society of Delhi 6. At a time that ferocious monkey, which was never seen though, became news for all television channels. It became the apple of discard between the Hindus and Muslims who lived like brothers and sisters. The story portrayed a picture which showed that if one do not think open minded none can make him think until it’s too late. Abhishek being an NRI based in th US came to Delhi 6 to fulfill his Grandmother’s last wish and incidentally fell in love with Sonam Kapoor while trying to save her life from a tricky agent. Off Course the hero must have all the boons. And then he did what his real life father has always been doing, saving mankind, people from evils, this time from the ‘Kala Bandars’ or the evil powers inside people. In a nut shell it’s a so so movie, again Sonam Kapoor doing not so good and the movie which is basically a fifteen minutes timepass taking two and a half hours.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆
