Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Anchored by a fascinating score from Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, naturalistic performances and a wide cinematic palette, Delhi-6 is a fair introduction to Indian cinema for outsiders -- who will have no clue at times why the audience is laughing.

The narrative equivalent of urban sprawl undermines Delhi-6, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's admirably ambitious but ultimately frustrating musical dramedy.

Compounding the problem, the film is light on those kitschy musical numbers that make Bollywood movies fun to watch.

Delhi-6 can be maddeningly vague, which robs its ending -- a finale as joltingly (melo)dramatic as any in Bollywood -- of the impact it intends.

It's pretty much irresistible and, in that sense, represents the enigmatic India of today as well as anything ever could.
