Delhi-6 to be released simultaneously in 1200 theatres

February 17th, 2009

Mumbai: Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor film Delhi-6 will be released simultaneously in 1200 theatres across India. The film is being promoted as a big ticket film at a time when not many film are seeing success at the box office.

The mood in Bollywood like many other sectors is that of despair. A number of projects are being shelved due to want of investors and distributors are also apprehensive putting in loads of money for something that does not give a decent return to them.

In the midst of so many flops, Delhi-6 seems a decent bet for the whole industry as a whole.

Film’s title is inspired from the pin code of Shahjahanabad area of Old Delhi that is known commonly as Walled city. The area is a treasure trove of history and full of monuments. From Fatehpuri mosque to Jama Masjid and Red Fort besides Turkman Gate, Kashmiri Gate all these places surround the place.

The historical market of Shahjahanabad area known commonly as Chandni Chowk is also there just opposite to Fatehpuri mosque.

The story sees Roshan travelling from the USA to India with his ailing grandmother. Little does he know that this quick trip will turn into the longest journey of his life. Delhi-6 is told against the backdrop of the ancient walled city of Delhi.
