Delhi tour on Discovery Channel !

According to Amoolya from Bangalore, the movie rating is 2.5 out of 5.
She is a Law Student, who doesn't want to miss good movies.

The story goes like-Waheeda Rehman, who is suffering from brain tumor and has very few days to live and decides to return back to India to breathe her last in her country.

Roshan(Abhishek), her grandson agrees to take her to Delhi and gets caught in communal clash between the Hindus and the Muslims regarding the "kaala bandar",the trouble maker of the town.In the meanwhile, he falls in love with Bitto(sonam), who aspires to become the next Indian Idol.

While he confesses his love to her,people misunderstand him to be the kaala bandar and shoot him. the ending gets a little melodramatic when the residents of Delhi 6 realise their mistakes and sort out their differences.The movie brings out the essence of Delhi excellently but it lacks a story.

The first oneand a half hour of the movie is lost in giving an introduction to delhi. More than a movie ,itseems like a travelogue of Delhi.The movie is rich in colours .Sonam kapoor's costumes-the anarkali cutchudidars are sure to become a hugh hit with people.A R Rahman yet again has created a masterpiece, with the main attraction of the movie being the music.

The first half of the movie has nothing but songs,one every 10 minutes,discovering Delhi and most importantly "no story". When the cinema hall is lit up for the intermission, the audience is left wondering what exactly happened in those 95 minutes.In the second half ,the movie shows how a trivial matter can be blown into a hugh communal issue between the Hindus and the Muslims and how friends turn foes.

Finally how dramatically Abhishek teaches them all to live in harmony.Abhishek, Sonam, Waheeda ,Divya Dutta have done an excellent job with sonam stealing the show as she fits perfectly into the character of a a typical delhite. The camerawork is very good but the dialogue delivery seems to have faltered.

The audience is hardly reacting to the jokes as half of them are un-understandable. Overall the movie is watchable and you are warned not to go with high expectations on Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra based on his previous film RDB as you may be dissapointed.

Ranking : 2.5/5
