Storyline

Delhi-6 attempts to exposes the dual face of a person. We all live in today's world pointing a finger at the other person for all that's going wrong around us. Looking for the devil who can be blamed. In reality the devil resides within us. The story is told dipping the pen in the ink of "chaos" the color of which is black. It's a story of a young American boy "ROSHAN" of Indian origin, who comes to India for the first time, to drop his ailing grandmother. She wants to die in her own soil, and so prepares for her own death. In America having lead a very western lifestyle Roshan wasn't aware of the sites and smells, the food and culture, the religion and beliefs, that an Indian society is filled with. After coming to India he interacts with his grandmother's neighborhood and seamlessly dissolves in as if one of them. Little does he know that the endearing people including his grandmother have another face that feeds the devil within - a devil that resides within each one of them! Written by ROMP [in]

Black Monkey
16 October 2010 | by (India) – See all my reviews

One of the most underrated Indian movie. Deals with custom tradition corruption overall Black Monkey inside us that spoils our society through us. Yes it is one of the underrated movie with the underrated star Abhishek Bacchhan. The layer are so thick in this film that you have to observe and should take conclusion from it. It is old as well very contemporaneous. We should contemplate the message delivered in this movie. It is very nice movie.

Roshan has visited Delhi 6 the native place of his Grandmother who wants to live her some life here before she dies. Roshan gradually likes the culture and the people around.

He falls for the girl Bittu who's father want her to marry soon. Unknown creature is haunting the city The black monkey Who is black monkey and it's consequences on the society that is the story. Movie is good with good messages. Music is another highlight of the movie with great composition by A R Rahman.

It is nicely made movie but most underrated Indian movie.
