Through, this journey Rohan meet many different and interesting character this is the basis of Delhi 6.

Overall Thoughts:
I really did enjoy Delhi 6. I thought it was fresh and innovative. I loved the issues it tackled such as the whole Hindu-Muslim conflict, the importance of marriage on women in society (Rama & Bittu), the abuse of power by officials, caste system and respect for your heritage.
I think the way the movie handle these issues were excellent. However, the last 20 mins of the movie I think could have been done better. I don't get why the whole heaven with his grandad was needed. I feel that was just to get Amitabh in the movie. I would have probably liked it more if Rohan did actually die. Horrible I know, but the whole coming back to life after death and meeting with his grandad was so ugh. But I still did like it.
I'm very glad I watch this movie because I've been iffy on Sonam since the other movies I seen her in I haven't been impressed. But this movie convinced me, she's got it. I hope she does more roles like Bittu and other movies that are a bit off the track.
The supporting cast was just excellent every single one of them down to the kids.
I love Rojja, "Hi how do you do? I am myself Rojja", she was too adorable!
