Can't help cursing...

Pozhudhu poi pozhudhu vandha autokaaranoda mallu katta vendiyirukke!! God! Am exhausted fighting with these sick autowalas. He cheats, we fight, I lose my peace of mind. They are hopeless, I can't wish for things to change. All that I wish for is that I don't have to get into an auto ever again in my life.

Delhi-6 -- must watch!!

Post delayed by a week in spite of the eagerness to write this post right after watching the movie.

Watched Delhi 6 finally after waiting for almost 2 months from the time I saw the trailer of the movie. Although I got mixed reviews after it's release, I decided to watch the movie, for I guessed I may love this movie (in spite of the fab reviews, I didn't enjoy Rang de Basanti much). Ok, no matter if the movie was bad, I wanted to watch it for three reasons (ARR's another masterpiece, AB Jr. whose big fan am these days, the stunningly beautiful and smart Sonam Kapoor).

But the movie was a fantastic experience. It was one of it's kind. The star cast and character portrayals were fantastic. Be it the sweetness of some superstitions (like the dhadhi getting the blessing of Gomaadha at a serious situation), the Hindu Muslim friendship among the people at Delhi 6, the neighbour ties, the homely atmosphere, the innocent Gobar who was actually the most sensible sometimes, the concerned, bold and casual Jalebi who did a wonderful job (proving that the character that seems outside is actually not the one inside), the growing-smarter-with-age Rishi Kapoor at his best as always, the women of two families whose friendship continued by sweet means despite the rebellious men, the damn sweet Sonam Kapoor and her dream of becoming the Indian Idol, the smart and casual Abhishek looking smarter, the sweet love that never was between the two and finally the Kala Bandhar and its nash :). I think the concept of the movie was a profound one shown in the lightest possible manner. The kala Bandhar concept and the perceptions of the people were brilliant, but at times it did get really funnier making the entire movie light.

And talk about the songs. A R Rahman's another masterpiece. Every song was fantastic. 'Masakalli' was full of life, 'Yeh Delhi hai' was fab and I'v written about it already in my previous post, 'Genda Phool' was stunning with the perfect blend of music, situation, AB's dance steps :P and the voice chasing the masakallis, 'Arziyaan' turned out to be wonderful after watching the movie. And the melodies 'Dil Gira Kahin Per Dafatan' (reminded of some other song, am not sure right now) and 'Rehna Tu' and its tail music were amazing too. Every song was brilliant.

Basically, the movie is an entertainer with a theme that was shown in a unique and lovely way. The thought behind the portrayal of the concept and the characters was brilliant. The actors were fantastic. Somehow, all the 2 and odd hours I was hoping that the movie wouldn't end. If this is a highly exaggerated review compared to all other reviews, maybe it was just me who loved the movie so much. Well, end of day, it was a great watch and I would love to watch it again. :):)
