| The film is about Roshan Mehra, who travels to India with his ailing grandmother. Little does he realise that this short trip will turn into the longest journey of his life – a journey where he discovers India and himself. The story is told against the backdrop of the walled city of old Delhi. And the number 6 in the title is the postal pin code of the area. This film presents a foreigner's point of view of what the real India is. "I grew up in Delhi, but contrary to media reports this film is not autobiographical," clarified Mehra. "I based it in old Delhi because I believe that the city is a microcosm of India in terms of our mindset. But despite the ancient setting, the film is an exploration of contemporary Indian society," he added. Mehra also said that like "Rang De Basanti", this film too has political overtones because he believes that "we cannot and should not avoid politics". Sonam Kapoor believes that her character Bittu represents today's Indian youth. "Bittu has her quirks and strengths. And I hope young people learn something from her mistakes and struggles and they feel inspired to accept their own culture instead of trying to blindly ape others," she said. Delhi 6 is Kapoor's second film. It's one of the most eagerly awaited movies of 2009. |
