Delhi 6 ~ Music in stores

After director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra wowed us with Rang De Basanti two years ago, he’s back with Delhi-6, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor .

The title is inspired from the pin code of an area in Delhi , where the story is based. This area houses the historical Juma Masjid and Red Fort.

The story sees Roshan traveling from the USA to India with his ailing grandmother. Little does he know that this quick trip will turn into the longest journey of his life. Delhi-6 is told against the backdrop of the ancient walled city of Delhi.

“Maine Pyar Kiya” had a pigeon song that became popular and 20 years later Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has a dove song in his forthcoming film “Delhi-6″. He says it was not part of the original plan.”The song was not really meant to be part of the narrative. I mean, who would think of putting in a song about a dove in a film like ‘Delhi-6′? It just happened. When I came to the pre-climax portion of my script, I was stuck. I needed a continuity link taking the narrative to its finale,”

Mehra’s much talked-about “Delhi-6″ has a large cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek, Sonam Kapoor and Gulshan Grover as well as a dove named Masakali who serves as the romantic leitmotif in the plot.
