Movie Preview – Delhi 6

After ‘Rang De Basanti’ the director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is all set to come with his film ‘Delhi 6’ in which Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor are playing the lead roles in the film. The title name of the movie is inspired from the pin code of an area ‘Old Delhi’ in Delhi.

The story sees Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) who brings his ailing grandmother back to India. She wants to die in her own country and so prepares for the inevitable. An America-born Roshan does not know about food, culture, sounds, religion and beliefs that make up Indian society.

When Roshan comes to India, he engages with his grandmother’s neighbourhood and becomes the part of the community. But Roshan does not know that these people have decided to take advantage of Roshan’s candid nature.

The story is shown against the backdrop of the ancient city of Delhi which is completely different from New Delhi. The city is almost a character in itself, representing the chaos of India, the people, their religions and their beliefs. The movie may be one of the biggest movies of 2009.

The music of the film has been composed by none other than A.R. Rahman and lyrics have been penned by Prasoon Joshi. Sonu Nigam, Mohit Chauhan and Sukhwinder Singh have sung the songs.
