Delhi-6
I did not know much of about the director of the movie Aks, when I watched it in the theatre. I enjoyed, but not many people did. Same goes with Rang de Basanti. A lot of people liked this movie and many hated it. But, it tugged my heart. I like a movie where I have fun while watching or if it pulls my emotional strings. Rang de Basanti did that to me. He pulled very hard at my emotional strings. By this time, the name of the director Rakeysh OmPrakash Mehra had hit the limelight. His latest movie creation is Delhi-6.

He faced a lot of negative criticism for this. I watched the movie over two sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it though. The songs were awesome and movie is entirely different from others in circulation now. The director had the chutzpah to include a contemporary theme like Kala Bandar (black monkey/monkey man) and use it as a background for this story. I will not go into the details of the movie.
It was a mix of fun and a lot of heart in it. This time though, director did not pull the emotional strings hard, he gave it a gentle tug towards the end. Whether you agree or not with his ideas, the fact that the director was able to move me and think about the movie afterwards makes him a good director in my view.
I enjoyed the song Genda Phool a lot. It is a cool one. Here is a video of it.
