Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra is undoubtedly one of the finest storytellers that we have around. His films, beginning from Aks right up to the present Delhi 6 bears out that truth. Here he tackles a very different theme from his previous two offerings and narrates a story, the material of which is the stuff that nostalgia is made of. Of course, unlike Rang De Basanti, it does not capture the imagination throughout its duration, but it has more than enough moments which tug at the heartstrings.
In brief, the story is about Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan), a typical NRI young man, who comes down from New York to Delhi 6 the pin code of Chandni Chowk, with his grandmother, played superbly by Waheeda Rehman. His daadi wishes to die in her own soil. As he accompanies her back, he has absolutely no idea when the mass of confusion and contradictions which is India, creeps upon him and embraces him, just like it has done millions of others, down the ages. Having grown up in a sanitized environment, Roshan is unprepared for the plethora of sights, sounds and smells which assail his senses in Chandni Chowk, where his daadi is welcomed back with open arms. This is the dominant stream of thought which is running through the film, of how Roshan, who came for a few days to Delhi, finds himself loath to go back. Ironically, the very social structure of familiarity and bonds which tugs at Roshan's heart and makes him want to stay back, is the very structure which is stifling for someone like Bittu (Sonam Kapoor) and she is dying to break free and be a free bird. This is the girl that he meets and falls in love with. It is a gradual process for Roshan, who first views India as a typical tourist and considers exotic, stuff like kite flying, eating jalabis, the Ramleela, bit is slowly sucked into this vortex of contradictions which is India; a place where even today, a sweeper would be considered an untouchable.
