Sonam Kapoor’s character spits a mouthful of aqua on Abhishek Bacchan and I get filled with trepidation. Can this film actually be good? Now don’t get me wrong. I saw RDB and enjoyed it. I love Main Hoon Na and it is actually the only movie that I can see an infinite number of times and still want to see it again. What I basically mean to say it that over the years I have found a few good Hindi movies that are not just thought provoking, but slickly shot, have an awesome soundtrack and a treat to watch. But our movie industry has a tendency to shoot itself in the feet. Movies like Roza, Maqbool, Gangajal, Rangeela are now years old but at the same time we have had to endure Sarkaar, Lal Badshah, Saawariya et al(to just name a few). So everytime Bollywood moves a step forward, it then takes three backwards.
I have not really done any real research on Dilli6, but from the promos here is what I have gleaned: Abhishek Bacchan is a tech-savvy NRI who has come back to India, presumably to get married
or something like that. So apart from the really glaring product placement of Motorola and iDea (of which Abhishek Bacchan is the brand ambassador) this is some sort of a coming of age story with romance, because hey, movies in India don’t work without romance.
Why the antichrist? Well I remember reading somewhere that the Antichrist, when he comes would be hailed as a saviour. A movie like Dilli6, coming so close after Slumdog, potrays a very different
India from the one we saw there. Sonam Kapoor spits on Abhishek Bacchan, and everyone of has at some point in their lives spit on someone else. I think. Does that make us a race that doesn’t think about its personal hygiene? The truth is very different from that. Indians are as a rule a very passionate people. At the same time, we are very relaxed. That is probably why people think that we’re a soft state. We’re not easily roused. Why worry? We eat and have fun. Spend our times busily gossiping about our second cousins and how they haven’t returned our calls since their son got that fat paying job in the states. So the spit is because, well why go through the trouble of going down to the basin when you can just spit out through the window?
The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that this scence captures the essence of India. I mean I am probably over reading and the scene is just intended to show how kawaii Sonam Kapoor really is. No one really saw her in Saawariya as she had her face covered all the time and when she didn’t the male lead(forgot his name) was dropping his towel. I acknowledge that reading too much in between the lines is that surest sign of one’s faggotry, but yet, in that case my argument is that a Sam Mendes or a Guy Ritchie(or their scriptwriters, who really remembers the name of the script writers?) can’t think of this scene. Not becuase they’re not as good as this guy(I know he also directed RDB, but I don’t know his name). But because well nothing in their lives prepared them for thinking it. There used to be a saying that I heard a lot as a kid, about India, it went like “kos kos pe badle paani chaar kos pe baani” kos is a measure of distance, I forget how many kilometers exactly, so this basically means that the taste of water changes every kos, and the language that people speak changes once you have travelled four kos. A homage to how varied the Indian culture is.
I am scared to think that the movie would not be as good as it seems to be. Yet nitpicking is of no real significance. The film would release soon enough so we’ll see then.
Oh and Abhishek Bac-chan just thought i should point it out 
Now I think that there is some amount of double role-playing going on in this movie.
