Delhi 6 modified for screening at Venice

An okay response in India and high acclaims from foreign! But it really happened to Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and his film Delhi 6.

The film starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, Delhi-6, might have kindled only select few here, but it was well received in Venice, where the movie was screened at the 66th Venice Film Festival.

It was all due to the timely changes that the filmmaker did before the movie entered the festival. It seems that the director was not at all happy with the old version and the thought was troubling him. Finally he listened to his heart and edited the movie. The new version shows the hero, Abhishek Bachchan, dying in the climax. 'The new version is Rakeysh Mehra's original script. This is the first time that a film has been re-shot and re-edited post release.'

The director is now very happy that he went ahead with the changes. He filmed the sequence of Abhishek's character's ashes being immersed in the river. The film now begins with his voice over announcing he's dead now. So it's now a dead man's story. Everything falls into place now. We also understand why Abhishek played the role so quietly, sensitively. It was such a beautiful piece of grammar.

Most of the filmmakers have their way to bring out films, not paying heed to public’s interest.

Hmm, don’t they say listen to your heart?
