This article was due since long, somehow missed it. So here it goes...
I respect Rakesh Omprakash Mehra a lot for RDB which is actually one of the greatest creations in the history of Bollywood. But I was extremely disappointed after watching Delhi 6. No doubt, movie was strong on its philosophy and the metaphorical 'Kala Bandar' had a lot to teach, but the execution was extremely childish with a story line, not at all convincing.
People have been shown to follow crappy rumors (before believing on which even an 'IQ=eight and a bloody half' guy would question) without a single exception. And obviously the protagonist, Abishek Bacchan (who probably had elephant's brains) didn't believe on them. Portrayal of such a stupid & vulnerable community simply charred any possible thread connecting 'delhi 6' with reality. And the way in which the character of Kala Bander was written and shown, even Director himself seemed to be confused himself.
Rahman did a fabulous job and was one of the only reasons that could save the movie from a shameful death.
