While 'Delhi-6' received a mixed response at the box office upon its initial release, it was widely praised for its powerful performances and exceptional musical score.
The film's soundtrack, composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman, became a massive hit, with songs like 'Masakali', 'Rehna Tu', 'Sasural Genda Phool', and the title track 'Delhi-6' turning into chartbusters that continue to resonate with audiences today. The extensive filming in the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk added an authentic and immersive layer to the movie's narrative, capturing the essence of Old Delhi's rich cultural tapestry.
