Delhi-6 opened to mixed reviews; the music by AR Rahman was considered one of his best scores - possibly better than SlumDog Millionaire, but the movie itself was given, on the average, 3/5 stars. Abhishek Bachchan stars and Amitabh makes a cameo appearance. The story involves an NRI returning home with his grandmother. Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) gets used to life in Dehli and grows to love it. He falls in love with Bittu and eventually declares his love, knowing it will prevent her arranged marriage. During his visit, the "Black Monkey" is running rampant and causing all sorts of havoc. In the final scenes of the movie, Roshan dresses as the Black Monkey to woo Bittu and is attacked by the neighborhood and beaten almost to death. This is a story of the gods and demons housed within all of us. It examines the importance of self reflection (symbolized by the mirror) and harkens to Plato's reminder, "The unexamined life is not worth living."
