I am waiting for the release of Delhi-6. It is a forthcoming Hindi film directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra (who earlier directed Rang de Basanti) starring Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni, and Divya Dutta. The movie is based on his growing up years in Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi. It will be Mehra’s third directorial venture after super-flop Aks and the super-hit Rang De Basanti. American-born Indian, Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) brings his ailing grandmother back to India. This journey becomes the longest journey of his life. The main theme of the story is the ancient Chandni Chowk. In the movie, it is a character in herself.
Chandni Chowk represents the chaos, religion, beliefs and ethos of the Indian people. The PIN code of Chandni Chowk is 110006, thats why the movie has been given the name Delhi 6.

“Delhi-6 is just as rich, just as powerful, and just as awe-inspiring as his work in Slumdog Millionaire. As we take the timeless stroll down the streets of Delhi 6, let us rejoice in the phenomenon that is Rahmania”. NaachGana.com
“Delhi 6 is near perfect. If one thought that Slumdog Millionaire, Ghajini and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na were superb then just listen to Delhi 6 once. Rahman beats his own score with Delhi 6 which would easily go down as one of his best scores till date.” BollywoodHungama.com
“One would think that Rahman couldn’t raise the bar any higher. Just when you wonder how high he can go, he raises the bar even higher until one feels that he has attained true musical nirvana and we are lucky enough to be along for the ride. “Dilli 6″ shows a Rahman that is at the top of his game. He is a league ahead of his contemporaries and an artist that transcends global boundaries to spread the joy of his music throughout the world.” PlanetBollywood.com
