Review - Delhi6

This has been something I wanted to do all week. The tragedy took place on Friday when we went for the first day show for this I'm-not-gonna-reveal-so-soon-how-it-was movie. As usual, the movie scheduled at 4:30 starts at 4:45. Frankly, those 15 minutes were better than the whole movie. Basically, Abhishek wants to bring his grandma to India, see her die in peace and then go back to USA. That is the whole story. Well, almost. I forgot the main hero [or was it villain] of the movie. The 'Kala Bandar'. Apparently, the producer assumes we are naive and love repetitive humour and so the same shit goes on the whole movie. Initially, its hilarious. But then he tries to make you laugh at yourself for coming to watch the movie. But even kala bandar was tolerable to this poor soul. Where I lost it is Abhishek taking innumerable snaps with his Motorola phone. That is the absolute tip of the iceberg of patience. The phone seems to take 10 mega pixel clear pictures. I have vowed never to buy a Motorola equipment as long as Mr.Flaunter is their brand ambassador.

Coming back to the horrific movie, the story is more of songs+crap+ a for loop+crap. The loop contains the Motorola advertisements, our lady trying to become an Indian idol and dear old kala bandar. The crap contains numerous Hindu-Muslim fights and a never-ending Ramayana drama. The only good part of the film are the unbelievably short songs [or so to say, as I didn't quite enjoy them; but my friends did :-P]. The producer wanted us to remember Kala Bandar more than anything else throughout the movie. I think the concept of Kala Bandar has been stolen from the evil monkey is Chris's closet in Family Guy. The latter is a slapstick comedy show and hence can have totally dumb stuff [which is what makes it so funny], but this is a goddamn movie ffs! I haven't been to Delhi and so I couldn't 'feel' the effect or whatever other Delhi-ites claim to feel. Afaik, they showed only Delhi-6 [Chandni Chowk] as the name suggests which really wasn't so Delhi-to-see. Acting wise, most of them were good. But the script was just so freakishly dumb that acting skills would go unnoticed. As usual, Abhishek does his wrist-movement dances. Well, he just redid whatever he used in the Motorola ads as he obviously doesn't know to dance. Leg movement = -10 , Wrist and Elbow [Rapper style] = +1000 to summarize his dance. What the producer didn't know is that Abhishek dancing in itself would be a comedy scene and hence, the full potential of the actor wasn't used. I don't find Sonam Kapoor that 'beautiful' [though one Mr.Tinku begs to differ :P] and hence I didn't have much to do the whole film other than abuse it. I thought Abhishek dies in the end and hence felt much happier, but even that wasn't to be. Three full hours and 200 bucks lighter, it was the perfect way to celebrate TGIF. In short, the review would be WTF?!?. So, those of you who haven't watched it yet, STAY AWAY.

Moral of the Story: Read the review and then go to the movie, else get owned.
