|| Delhi 6 | Rakesh Omprakash Mehra | Abhishek Bachchan ||

[Ramakrishna]

The words in bold italics are the words from a song recorded by AR Rehman, written by Prasoon Joshi, for the film ‘DELHI 6′. The film is being directed by Rakeysh Mehra and Abhishek stars in it. I had been asking for the music from Abhishek for sometime now and yesterday he sent it to me on email.

From the moment I heard it it touched an emotional chord in me and I immediately shared my feelings with Abhishek and Rakeysh. Rakeysh informed me that AR had had a dream about the tune of this song 2 years ago and in DELHI 6 he found the correct opportunity to record it. I heard it repeatedly through out the day. On sitting down to put down my thoughts for the day on blog, I put on the ear phones and continued to listen to Maula.

Nothing came into my head but the words and the emotion of the song. It played for 4 hours. Repeat after repeat after repeat. And then the words for the blog simply spilled out. I put within quotes the bold and the italic because they were words from the writer. I did not sign my name at the end because I felt I did not own them..



I sign now..

First look at Delhi-6

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra presented a first look at his next film “Delhi-6” (earlier titled in “Dilli 6”) to the media at the Dubai International Film Festival today (December 14, 2008).

The very short, intense looking teaser was a collage of scenes from old Delhi such as the Friday prayers at the Jama Masjid and cycle rickshaws in the meandering lanes of the old town interspersed with shots of the Statue of Liberty, a carefree Sonam Kapoor dancing with a pigeon perched on her head and Abhishek Bachchan in a variety of moods. And a soulful, unmistakably A.R. Rahman number in Sonu Nigam’s voice playing in the background.

Release Date: February 20, 2009

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra presented a first look at his next
film "Delhi-6" (earlier titled in "Dilli 6") to the media at the
Dubai International Film Festival today (December 14, 2008).

The very short, intense looking teaser was a collage of scenes from
old Delhi such as the Friday prayers at the Jama Masjid and cycle
rickshaws in the meandering lanes of the old town interspersed with
shots of the Statue of Liberty, a carefree Sonam Kapoor dancing with
a pigeon perched on her head and Abhishek Bachchan in a variety of
moods. And a soulful, unmistakably A.R. Rahman number in Sonu
Nigam's voice playing in the background.

"The film is about Roshan Mehra, who travels to India with his
ailing grandmother. Little does he realise that this short trip will
turn into the longest journey of his life – a journey where he
discovers India and himself," said Mehra. The story is told against
the backdrop of the walled city of old Delhi. And the number 6 in
the title is the postal pin code of the area.

"I grew up in Delhi, but contrary to media reports this film is not
autobiographical, " clarified Mehra. "I based it in old Delhi because
I believe that the city is a microcosm of India in terms of our
mindset. But despite the ancient setting, the film is an exploration
of contemporary Indian society," he added. Mehra also said that
like "Rang De Basanti", this film too has political overtones
because he believes that "we cannot and should not avoid politics".

Speaking about his role, Abhishek said, "This film presents a
foreigner's point of view of what the real India is and I could
identify with that because I was away from India for many years
during my schooling. Doing this film was a life changing experience
for me and I am happy I got this opportunity to discover myself."

Sonam Kapoor believes that her character Bittu represents today's
Indian youth. "Bittu has her quirks and strengths. And I hope young
people learn something from her mistakes and struggles and they feel
inspired to accept their own culture instead of trying to blindly
ape others," she said.

Looking strikingly pretty in a black D&G dress and magenta shoes,
Sonam incidentally got the biggest applause when she the "Delhi-6"
team was introduced to the room full of media.

The film's stellar cast includes Waheeda Rehman, Om Puri, Rishi
Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Pawan Malhotra, Atul Kulkarni, Supriya Pathak,
Tanvi Azmi, Divya Dutta, Vijay Raaz, Deepak Dobriyal and KK Raina.
It is co-produced by UTV and Mehra and slated for release on
February 20, 2009.
