Delhi-6 is a 2009 bollywood film directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. A.R. Rahman is the music director of this film.[1] Prasoon Joshi is the lyricist. The music was released on 14 January 2009 at the Indian Idol 4 competition.[2] The first video of the song "Masakalli" was released featuring Sonam and Abhishek with a pigeon. However, the song was not part of the original film. According to the director, "The song was not really meant to be part of the narrative. I mean, who would think of putting in a song about a dove in a film like 'Delhi-6'? It just happened. When I came to the pre-climax portion of my script, I was stuck. I needed a continuity link taking the narrative to its finale".[3][4] Other videos released include the title track Delhi-6, the romantic interlude Rehna Tu as well as the folky Genda Phool, an adaptation of a folk song from Chhattisgarh.
Reception
The soundtrack for the movie has received positive reviews, with most reviewers hailing the album to be one of Rahman's best works. NaachGaana.com reviewed the music saying "Delhi-6 is just as rich, just as powerful, and just as awe-inspiring as his work in Slumdog Millionaire. As we take the timeless stroll down the streets of Delhi 6, let us rejoice in the phenomenon that is Rahmania".[5] A review on Bollywood Hungama said, "Delhi 6 is near perfect. Rahman beats his own score with Delhi 6 which would easily go down as one of his best scores till date."[6] PlanetBollywood.com said, "One would think that Rahman couldn’t raise the bar any higher. Just when you wonder how high he can go, he raises the bar even higher until one feels that he has attained true musical nirvana and we are lucky enough to be along for the ride. "'Dilli 6' shows a Rahman that is at the top of his game. He is a league ahead of his contemporaries and an artist that transcends global boundaries to spread the joy of his music throughout the world. Each and every song in Dehli-6 upholds the high standards Rahman has set.

R. Rahman makes waiting for his music such a worthwhile chore what with one fantastic soundtrack after another. Close on the heels of a deserving Golden Globes wins follows the anticipated score of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6. Considering its impossible-to-define Chandni Chowk roots, Rahman injects the sounds of this 10-tracked album with an eclectic fusion of various genres."[9]
