Few places of Delhi in Bollywood films today! :D

Delhi has become the next destination for film-makers to land in after Mumbai. Delhi being the capital city of India, is not only rich in the monuments but also in its own unmatchable culture. Well, yeah it's a mixed culture here in Delhi but that's what defines us, Delhites. So, let's celebrate the fact that Bollywood celebrates us in its films. The famous places amongst them are as follows;

Connaught Place

Being in the heart of the city, C.P. can never be missed from anyone's sight. It's loved by all of us, EQUALLY! :D Flashes of C.P. are in every Bollywood film, which has glimpses of Delhi in it, or as a whole is set in Delhi. 

Few films of the countless many films shot here are, 2 States, P.K. , Rockstar, Delhi-6, Delly-Belly!

Arjun Kapoor in 2 states, shooting in Connaught Place

India Gate
Film after film has had glimpses of India Gate! Recent films such as, Student of the Year, Vicky Donor, Raanjhanaa and the well acclaimed film amongst these being, Rang De Basanti.

Still from, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Ranjhanaa film shot!

Humayun’s Tomb
This monument is the favourite amongst the film directors, also because they can fit their budget while shooting at Humayun's tomb, in case they can't stretch shooting schedules to Taj Mahal in Agra. Recent flicks like PK, 2 States have glimpses of this monument. This is a beautiful monument which will make you fall in love with every little patch that makes it stand so headstrong. You can rest on the grass in the garden as the monument stands gracefully in the infamous CharBagh style. It's on the top lists of the places to see in Delhi, if you want to catch Delhi's beauty in its heritage. You will love Humayun's Tomb when you visit and after you come from your visit, it won't leave you memories. It is such magnificent and rich in texture and in its architecture. 
To be frank, people often compare Humayun's Tomb with Taj Mahal when they see its structure, like I said its built on similar lines. 

Qutub Minar

Built in the year 1300's, the Qutub Minar is after the name of Qutb-ud-din Aibak. The Qutub Minar is the 2nd tallest minaret in our country, India. Its popularity amongst the Delhites is enormous. One's visit to Delhi is complete with a visit to the Qutub Minar and if you're a tourist then yes, it's already on your itinerary. The Hindi film industry understands this heart beat of the city, the treasure it is to the Delhites. Few of the many-many films shot at the Qutub Minar, are Fanaa, Cheeni Kum, Black & White(2008) etc.  

Bollywood actor and director Dev Anand wanted to shoot the song Dil Ka Bhanwar Kare Pukar from his movie Tere Ghar Ke Samne inside the minar. However, the cameras in that era were too big to fit inside the tower's narrow passage, and the song was shot inside a replica of the tower instead.

Lord Hanuman Statue

So, you mean a Bollywood film shot in Delhi and no appearance of the Hanuman Statue that is near Paharganj in Delhi. Films one after the other shot in Delhi contain flashes of this huge Hanuman Statue. This statue symbolises Delhi and the Hanuman temple has thousands of devotees everyday. This ancient temple is claimed to be one of the five temples of Mahabharata days in Delhi. 

Films like Delhi-6, Fukrey, Delly-Belly, P.K., Tere Sang. etc. have glimpses of the Lord Hanuman Statue.

Agrasen Ki Baoli 
Located at Hailey Road in New Delhi, a lot of history stands behind this Baoli. It's a new tourist sight for the travellers, more even after Bollywood directors found their lost love in the central Delhi near Connaught Place.
Film diaries: (Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Tere Sang, P.K.)

Baoli is a Hindi word which means 'steep well'.

Chandni Chowk
Well I assume, that the Name is enough. :)
The heart of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk can never be missed because of its cultural adherence and the people of our Purani Dilli.
