'''''Delhi-6''''' is the [[soundtrack album]] to [[Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra]]'s 2009 film [[Delhi-6|of the same name]]. [[A. R. Rahman]] scored the film,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.businessofcinema.com/news.php?newsid=11394 |title=A.R.

The music was released on 19 January 2009 at the ''[[Indian Idol (season 4)|Indian Idol 4]]'' competition.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090122070559/http://www.indianfilmdom.com/delhi-6-audio-release-function-on-indian-idol-4-event-gallery-video 'Delhi-6′ Audio Release Function On Indian Idol 4] Retrieved on 2009-02-09</ref>

== Development and release ==
The video of the first song "[[Masakali]]" was released featuring lead actors [[Abhishek Bachchan]] and [[Sonam Kapoor]] with a dove. However, the music video was not part of the original final cut of the film. According to the director Mehra, "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".<ref>[http://movies.indiainfo.com/2009/01/08/0901081249_dove_song_in_delhi-6_was_not_planned_rakeysh_mehra.html Dove song in movie was not planned] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090110193510/http://movies.indiainfo.com/2009/01/08/0901081249_dove_song_in_delhi-6_was_not_planned_rakeysh_mehra.html |date=10 January 2009 }}</ref><ref name="wordpress">{{cite web|url=https://rahmaniac.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/delhi-6-music-in-stores-on-jan-14/|title=Delhi 6 ~ Music in stores on January 14|date=10 January 2009|access-date=15 February 2019|archive-date=16 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716025439/https://rahmaniac.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/delhi-6-music-in-stores-on-jan-14/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

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]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Folk-inspiration-for-Munni-Badnaam/articleshow/6564833.cms|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103212315/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-09-16/news-interviews/28250635_1_song-munni-badnaam-munni-badnaam-hui|url-status=live|archive-date=2012-11-03|title=Folk inspiration for Munni Badnaam|author=Diksha Kamra|access-date=2010-09-16|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=2010-09-16}}</ref> [[Rajat Dholakia]] who is known for introducing [[Chhattisgarhi language|Chhattisgarhi]] folk songs to Bollywood has been co credited with Rahman for the song Genda Phool. The music of the track "Bhor Bhaye" is based on the [[raga]], [[Todi (raga)|Gujri Todi]]. It is an adaptation of [[Bade Ghulam Ali Khan]]'s original version, arranged by Rahman. Traditional lyrics have been used there by Joshi. The Ustad (whose demise took place in 1968) did not record this song separately for the film soundtrack. Shreya Ghoshal's vocals have been superimposed on the Ustad's vocals (from his original song) at parts.

The album received positive response. 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."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080919193127/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/musicreview/12980/index.html Music Review of Delhi 6 By Joginder Tuteja][[Bollywood Hungama]] Retrieved on 2009-01-18</ref> According to [[Rediff]]'s Sukanya Verma, "[[A. 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."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2009/jan/20music-review-delhi-6.htm|title=Music Review of Delhi 6 By Sukanya Verma on Rediff.com|author=Sukanya Verma|date=20 January 2009|access-date=2009-02-25|work=www.rediff.com|publisher=[[Rediff]]|archive-date=21 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101221090321/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2009/jan/20music-review-delhi-6.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
