‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’
This Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer superhit flick depicts Old Delhi in many of its portions. We see some scenes near the Red Fort and Jama Masjid, and they form an important part of the narrative.
‘Band Baaja Baaraat’
Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma's characters are seen roaming on the streets of Meena Bazaar and Chandni Chowk in the movie to scout for the best decors for their wedding planning business. So, the movie not just promoted wedding planning but also promoted the shopping streets of the place.
‘Love Aaj Kal’
'Love Aaj Kal' starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone was a one-of-its-kind love story which depicted two love tales from different eras. The song 'Chor bazaari' was shot in the shopping streets of Old Delhi and Deepika's restoration projects showcased the architectural heritage of the place perfectly.
‘Fanaa’
Aamir Khan portrayed the role of a tour guide and standing true to his role, he aptly portrayed the vivid flavours of Delhi. Right from Qutub Minar, Red Fort, Jantar Mantar to Purana Qila, Old Delhi's historic places got a huge boost thanks to the movie.
‘Delhi 6’
'Delhi 6' starring Sonam Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan was based in Chandni Chowk and it captured the essence of the place beautifully.
‘Ahista Ahista’
'Ahista Ahista' starring Abhay Deol and Soha Ali Khan was partly filmed in Delhi. From Chandni Chowk, Nizamuddin Station to Jama Masjid, the love story aesthetically captured the flavours of these places.
Say Chandni Chowk and we instantly think of its busy bylanes, chatpati chaat, lip-smacking food and monuments which tell a story. So, how could B-Town miss out on capturing its flavours? (Also Read: Go, Goa Gone: Bollywood movies soaked up in the spirit of Goa)
