American-born Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) agrees to return with his grandmother Annapurna (Waheeda Rehman), to the walled-off area of Delhi, India, where she grew up. Attracted to neighbor Bittu (Sonam Kapoor) and enchanted by the neighborhood's strong sense of tradition, Roshan gradually learns about Old Delhi's less attractive aspects, including caste discrimination and widespread corruption. Meanwhile, rumors of a mysterious, havoc-wreaking black monkey put the city on edge.

[Rakeysh Omprakash] Mehra is so focused on getting the setting right that he forgets to move his movie along. It's one thing to translate the slow, old-world quality of the place; it's quite another for your story to have to struggle to come up for air.

4/5

Mehra's follow-up to his Bafta-nominated Rang de Basanti is another gritty slice of political Bollywood cinema.

4/5

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.

4/5

There is hardly a character in the film who is not anchored to the film, and Mehra ensures that even a small gesture adds to the film's proceeding.

Bollywood masala pictures are a bit messy by definition, but this film is simply a disorganized muddle

Though admirably serious and ambitious, this fish-out-of-water comedy-drama ... is a jumbled collection of moments that range from the touching to the tedious.
