Upon arriving in Delhi with his grandmother, Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) begins to experience an inner transformation that he never anticipated. The ancient walled city is a character unto itself -- embodying the chaos of the Indian people, their beliefs, and their religion -- and before his trip is over Roshan will have fallen deeply in love with Delhi. The pin code of Delhi is 110006, though the locals affectionately refer to it as "DELHI-6." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Michael Ordoņa, Los Angeles Times
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.
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
The narrative equivalent of urban sprawl undermines Delhi-6, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's admirably ambitious but ultimately frustrating musical dramedy.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Compounding the problem, the film is light on those kitschy musical numbers that make Bollywood movies fun to watch.
-
Rachel Saltz, New York Times
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.
-
Michelle Orange, Village Voice
It's pretty much irresistible and, in that sense, represents the enigmatic India of today as well as anything ever could.
