my wife and i finally went for a move after a very long time. we got tickets for delhi 6 – a new realease by the same director who made Rang De Basanti – Rakyesh Omprakash – it was a TRAGIC disappointment. One would assume that with a cast of rishi kapoor, om puri and wahida rahaman, the film will be as gripping as ever, the only gripping that was happening was me clawing into my seat out of sheer desperation.
the film has a very relevant theme- of communal hatred being stirred by people with ulterior motives, caste and arranged marriages. the same thing that all people think of when they come to india.
but thats it, it stops there,. there was a story that was smaller than a grain of rice, and the acting by certain characters was non existent. The most amount of dialogue came from the “news reporters” in the movie than from the lead characters.
how did this get funding? 🙁
