Outside India only city which given some respect is mumbai. Last month I was in switzerland & I found people know only mumbai there. With all its shortcoming- mumbai is the only city in india with true international status & cosmopolitan culture. Delhi is seen in ver bad taste outside. BTW I am not from mumbai but travelled many times to mumbai as well as delhi.
Its now only Delhi is coming in Films.. So what.? Ask any of the stars in that much movies where they preferred to live in, Delhi or Mumbai.? I bet 90% will say Mumbai.. And btw, Slumdog Millionaire which based on Mumbai Life now got OSCAR.. So Delhi lovers, long way to go yet.. MUMBAI still ROCKSSS.....
This article is very apt as it points to what I had been thinking about Delhi in movies since past few days. Earlier most of the Bollywood movies used to be set around Mumbai. But now Delhi dominates most of the leading films these days. Maybe it is more about Delhi's colourful, vivid lifestyle and culture unlike Mumbai's mechanical and crowded life. It would be nice if the Bollywood include more Indian cities in the storyline of its films rather than just focusing on a few Metros.

Delhi means- Corruption, unprofessionalism, arrogance, politics, power,crime, rape. Definetely it will attract film maker.
