Delhi-6 or Swades-2

Yeah right!! If you didn't notice you probably didnt pay enough attention. Why did Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra remake Swades? Yes he didn't remake it, he didn't copy it, he probably didn't even have the movie in his mind while conceptualising Delhi - 6. Agreed, but I'm really not ready to accept that he missed Swades so badly tht he went and made another movie which is so similar to Swades, different too, I agree.
Now I won't go on telling you how it is similar to Swades, but yes Delhi - 6 is, and you should watch it and find it for yourself. And if you haven't seen Swades, please don't read any further.
But then you might ask me, if it is actually Swades-like then why go watch it? My point exactly, why go watch it? Just because of Masakkali? Just because it has got a different treatment of the same point?
I would say no, watch it because if you don't watch it and take my word for it then it would be wrong. Go see it yourself, and think why you pay for the same story with just different songs n different actors. And let me tell you, I didnt watch the movie, and I wont unless it is for one reason in this world, and that is very personal, and unmentionable here.
There is nothing wrong in just watching a movie just for the heck of it, just for "enjoyment" rather than finding a meaning of it. That's fine, that's exactly what the Director n the Cast say, "We made a film without trying to send out a message, we just made a good film."
Well, you people made a film, good or not is obviously debatable, and, of course, relative.
And as for the Chandni Chowk flavour in the movie, seen enough stuff on TV already.

have to catch up with the movie junta to write more...personally don't really intend to see it, fr two reason
1) can't really stand abhishek bacchan with "i'm the son of amitabh bacchan,n u know the husband of aishwarya rai" written all over him.
2) anil kaproo's daughter is too saccharine sweet to be believed...
although i'd love to fall in love with smone like her....but u know they don't come with so sweet looks. even she .

The funny thing is, it takes a 'timepass' movie like RDB to make a nation (the urban part i mean) believe that a revolution is about to happen. And then they count him as one of the best directors in the industry, lmao on that.
As for the music, ppl r saying this is rehman's best score ever, but then what do ppl know lol.
