Here's a secret about the much-anticipated Delhi- 6.
Very quiet man
This makes Delhi 6 Abhishek's most silent performance to date. "He's quiet, very quiet in the film," admits director Rakeysh Mehra. "His character is more like a silent observer than a commentator."
At the film's screening at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York on Sunday evening, Delhi-6 got three standing ovations. "We were overwhelmed.
Somewhere, the story of an American NRI's return to his roots connected with the New York audience.
So far, our films about homecoming meant picture-postcard villages and sarson ke khet, as though 'home' was linked only to nostalgia.
In Delhi-6, the protagonist comes home from one dynamic society in flux to another.
I think that connected with the audiences in New York."
