Delhi-6 (PG) 2.5

Delhi-6 (2009): A story about love, hope and self-discovery set in the walled city of Delhi (zip code 6) and its chaotic but touching life that forces us to ask questions about ourselves. (6.3)

Director: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Stars: Waheeda Rehman, Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor

Ugh! I've seen Indian "formula" movies, but this one takes the cake as the worst of the lot. Bad story, lousy acting, stereotypical "everything," unrealistic nonsense, etc. all rolled into one to make a great POS of a movie. And, one idiot on IMDB writes a thesis about it and gives 9.29/10; ha ha ha! Look, if the director/writers wanted to make a social commentary, they should have picked a single strand (we all know there are many to pick from in the Indian society) and come up with a solid story and made a firm stand on one thing. Instead, this movie is just a jumbled mess. My Rating: 2.5
