Delhi 6

it truly has been too long since i last saw a movie that truly rocked me from my core. and after watching the last few, there was still something inside me that didnt really feel right. even the critically acclaimed slumdog millionaire didnt quite do it for me for some reason. But this latest one that i have just seen hass moved me in the most memorable way. Delhi 6 encompases what i as an NRI feel when i go to india... Even though the people may be a bit backward, even though the communal flaws are obvious, even though the water only runs for 2 hours every morning. there is some vibe there which can only be described as intoxicating. that it is something that you long for even though you know what the flaws of that place are. whatever it is, it just works. it moves you from the inside. puts a smile on your face. whether it is the nightmare traffic, or whether it is the population density. be it the old or the new. that vibe is something that is truly unique.

the concept of a kaala bandar AKA black monkey, although ridiculous, is merely a symbol for the hatred in each of our hearts. the hatred that sits in the back of our mind and feeds on greed, anger, jealousy and envy. and with this diet, grows bigger and bigger until it takes over our body. and funny how we always blame the kaala bandar for all the terrible things that do happen in life.

as far as the music goes, it is truly a moving experience. especially masakali and arziyan. words cannot describe it. i suggest you watch it


all in all.... an awesome movie... do watch it

Ciao for now
