Delhi 6..

You absolutely love certain movies.You abhor certain movies(i can distinctly remember a certain tamil blockbuster ).And in rare cases,you don't actually "get" movies.Delhi -6 was one such movie.I had this feeling that i knew our national language quite well.This feeling was quashed into pulp after the 3 hours of the movie.
Lemme sum up the movie..Myself ,sreeni,and sanju(an ardent hindi movie "buff"oon,his knowledge of bollywood can be compared to varun's knowledge of hollywood (Quoting.."Who the hell is this brad pitt"),decided to go for a movie(not withstanding our busy schedule of watching movies in the PC).sreeni knew "mera naam sreeni hain",myself "shukriya" and sanju..ah well sanju..yeah he was clueless.And with this limited knowledge of hindi words,we went for Delhi-6.We were excited at first(u know with the cast,and the RDB fame),by the end of the first half,enthralled by the music,the sets,but the movie had not yet "started".At the end of the second half,again enjoyed the music,but the movie had still not "started".So the three of us,pretended to enjoy the movie,had a real nice chat about how deeply the movie affected us,the great message of the movie,how moving it was...but this is what we really thought after the movie
Sreeni .."WOW,sanju and ullas really knows hindi,huh!!"
Ullas.."..hmmm..shukriya..hmmmm"
Sanju.."Abhishek had his glasses on for 1395 s,scratched his face 6 times..i am really good at statistics.."

Some salient features in the film:

Abhishek bachan definitely had conjunctivitis.How else could u explain the dark goggles morning,day and night?

Sonam kapoor looked ravishing,and was one of the main reasons behind the 3 of us not sleeping on our seats

Monkey man was the hero of the movie..

There were 7 news channels,and 85 reporters dedicated to monkey man

Monkey man rocks!!..

So all in all,we "enjoyed" the movie,but we dint really get the movie.The symbolism was over the top.Also how did an NRI man who could only speak in english at the beginning of the movie come up with lengthy monologues in flawless matching "shyari"s ,we are never going to find out!!..

PS: Hope to be a more regular blogger..Bear with me,if i do become a regular blogger
