Yeh Delhi hai mere yaar!

A few days back I suddeny fell into deep thinking when I realised that all the current films and one element in common. Haven't guessed it already? It's our capital city. All leading commercial films have its story based in Delhi if not the title itself - From Chandani chowk to China town to Delhi 6. Even Dev D was a film based in Delhi so was Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye!! and news is out that a new film which Abhishek Bachchan has signed which is supposed to be made by Abhinav Deo is called "Delhi Belly". Though my critques may argue that there have been a lot of ilms based on the city in the recent past like Sarkar Raj, A Wednesday or more recently Luck by Chance and Stoneman's Murders. But we must realize that these are not commercial films and haven't really tried to capture the pleasant mood of the as the Delhi based films have wherein Delhi is more or less like another actor if not the protagonist. 

Coming back to the main theme of my article i.e. my deep thinking about the issue made me conclude that the reason Delhi is being seen everywhere might be a conscious attempt by the Government to promote the city which has been accused of being unsafe and filthy before the next Commonwealth Games which is being hosted by Delhi. 

Hopefully, the drought will end soon and we will once again start seeing films like Bluffmaster or Taxi No. 9211 which were entirely shot in the city as well as beautifully captured the positive spirit as well scenic landscapes of "Amchi Mumbai"
