A news paper review of the music of ‘Delhi 6′, spoke glowingly of it. Though I wish to correct the columnist on one matter. He talks of the track “Genda Phool” on the CD and mentions the track starting with Afro Sounds before the music kicks in. Wrong. They are not Afro Sounds or vocals. They are the vocal sounds made by the keepers of doves in residences in most parts of North India and in Uttar Pradesh, particularly. Doves in their hundreds are housed as pets virtually and kept in sweetly designed cottages on the flat roofed terraces’ of these homes. Every morning they are released from their cages, free to fly and move about. When they have had enough the owners come on the roof and make these sounds that you hear in the recorded CD, to bring them, the doves, back home. AR Rehman has most creatively used those authentic sounds and composed this extraordinary number, sung by the extraordinary Rekha Bharadwaj, wife of the extraordinary director Vishal Bharadwaj of Omkara fame, for the film. As you may have guessed by now after seeing some of the promos of ‘Delhi 6′, that the dove has a very significant and symbolic presence in the film. The number ‘Masakali’ on the disc which has become almost an anthem in the country due to its popularity, is in fact the name of the dove. It plays an important part in the romance between Sonam and Abhishek. So there !!
Vanakkam again … till the morrow !!

SATYAM SAYS-
First off I really loved all the photos you’ve kindly provided. With today’s ‘tour’ you surpass those earlier posts. I am reminded of the Tamil film, Eiyarkai, which was beautifully shot and set in a similar ‘edge of the world’ coastal landscape.
On a related note your shots from the other day where you are ‘in costume’ and on the beach were quite extraordinary. The stills conveyed all the body language of an actor who has simply aged like fine wine. One knows one is in the presence of a master. I really like your look for this film and the film has always intrigued me greatly.
For others here who have from time to time expressed an interest in my comments and for which I am of course greatly appreciate I provide the link to my blog (something I have just delved into after avoiding the idea for rather long..):

nothing wrong with that rud – its a free world. this should have happened long ago. if people cant handle differing opinions – they should start their own blog. now lets see how NG handles this and moves forward.
