D6, while having one of the best music by our man, is unsatisfying as a movie.
Would members like to talk about how this film could be made good, by changing script, placement of songs/ scenes, etc. Nothing can be done about the movie. The intention is just to avoid talking bad about the film and still talk about it. my thoughts: 1. Abhishek's US life and background should have been shown for starting 10 mins or so, highlighting his love for dadi, and dadi keeping on comparing that life and telling him about India. 2. Rishi Kapoor's portion should have been increased by some 15 mins, in which he remembers and may be, recounts to Abhishek, the entire duration of his affair with Abhishek's mom, and then Abhishek dad dropping in (25 years ago) and taking her away. This could have been on another young trio - two heros, heroine. 3. Genda phool should have been shifted to after fixing the marriage of sonam, so that ladies of the family sing it in preparation of the forthcoming marriage. 4. either more script was to devoted to development of love between abhishek and sonam, or their being in love should have been avoided all together. They remain friend and Abhi helps her in achieving her dream while all family and neighbors doubt their relation. 5. ending could be something like - Abhishek takes Sonam to Bombay for participating in indian idol - by plane so they reach within hour and that's the day of the final so they reach stage soon. family and neighbors think that they had eloped and that raises communal tension and both hindus/ muslims neighbors capture Waheeda and torture her holding her repsonsible for bringing abhishek here, so that she reaches on the verge of death equally because of hurt and shock and anger as well as because of pain and some bleeding. Rishi Kapur dies trying to protect Waheeda. In the mean time, sonam's matrimonial breaks back home due to news of her eloping away while the real reason is dowry demand that sonam's dad can't fulfil. then Sonam wins indian idol (another new song of our man, he he he, he he he, he he he) and every one back home is happy, even muslims, and start relating to her. But reporters carry the information about the tension their running away had caused back home there and ask inconvenient questions. abhishek declares that he is already secretly married to his some GF back in US for a few years and he and sonam are just friends. Oh, no. That would kill dil gira dafatan. no, no, no. that has to be kept alive and kicking. okay, dil gira dafatan could have been shifted to between Abhishek's mom and the two persons loving her - rishi and Abhishek's hindu father who each sing one stanza, instead of the ghazal i recommended above. Anyway, that cools down all the tempers and communal tension disappears. Some established young hindu actor was judge of idol (ranbeer kapur or shahid kapur) who becomes interested in Sonam opening the chances of future marriage. Waheeda dies. - maybe waheeda's son and daughter in law also reach delhi having heard the news of communal tension and Rishi kapur dies in front of his lost beloved -- :-) you can tear down the above suggestions. No problemo. do give ur suggestions about the movie. -- Rawat
