Delhi-6

It's a story of a young American boy Roshan of Indian origin, who comes to India for the first time, to drop his ailing grandmother. She wants to retire and spend the last leg of her life back home; dissolving into the soil she was born in. In America, having lead a very western lifestyle Roshan is not familiar with the sites and smells, the food and culture, the religion and beliefs, this huge melting pot that India is. He thought that Dadi had left her family and loved ones back in America, only to realize that how wrong he was. The warmth and affection of the neighborhood embraced him with open arms. Amidst all this he meets the beautiful Bittu, who is looking for identity and expression and wants to break free from the typical Indian social structure, to whom Roshan is destined to lose his heart. Delhi-6 is a journey... a journey within. We are all living in difficult times and Delhi -6 urges us to look within and if there is an answer then it is love because that's the law of nature and its creation. The story is told against the backdrop of the ancient walled city of Delhi who is a character in herself. A microcosm of India, the city represents the chaos of our land, its people, and their religion and their beliefs. The pin code of this old city is 110006. With pride and love the locals call it Delhi-6.
