With the "new-age cinema" turning out to be a popular choice in the multiplexes and a safe bet for the producers we are having them in plenty.
Delhii Heights (an overkill of numerology, IMO!) is compilation of a few tracks running parallel about the people living in an apartment.
Jimmy Shegill Neha Dhupia track gets the biggest share of the cake. The hurdles and predicaments of corporate marriage (9/11 marriage) is showcased. Jimmy carries his role well, the only issue is his coloured hair. Neha is getting graceful towards the camera as each movie passes by. She is gorgeous in business suits nevertheless. This track aptly justifies "Men come to men... not mountains!"
Ronit Roy Simone Singh track is half-baked owing to lack of screen time. After an aggressive efforts and failed attempts (w.r.t "Kal Ho Na Ho") Simone Singh finally accepts that she cannot do away with her image and redo's "Heena" in the garb of doted Saima. Ronit Roy gets to showcase his dancing skills. BTW in the end does it always have to be a melodramatic and they lived happily ever after?
Om Puri:: No relevance to the story line. Tinch of Monsoon Wedding flavour?
Viveck Shauq:: Again no relevance to the storyline and his laughter was getting on my nerves.
The other teenagers track was absolute nonsense.
Thanks to "Life in Metro" & the Mithoon band we have an novel way to portraying the Bollywood songs.... with the playback singers appearing as "singing ghosts" (for a change its better than lip sync songs.... but doesn't that make non-Bollywood?).
The story did have potential but the owing to multiple tracks the theme gets diluted and the characters do not get fleshed out adequately. On similar note, it would be wise to state that retaining the Jimmy Neha track and editing out the rest would have given scope to add depth.
PS: What was Maddy doing in this blink-n-miss role?
