BOLLYWOOD MOVIES SHOT IN DELHI UNIVERSITY – The Most Popular

Board results are out now and the admission season has begun. No doubt Delhi University will be a target of many of the students. Apart from having that feel of art, fashion, swag and attitude, DU also has a connection with bollywood. Time and again our movies have captured the charm and beauty of one of India’s top universities.

From the Haryanvi athlete ‘Kusum’ of Ramjas College (Kangana Ranaut’s character in Tanu Weds Manu Returns) to the sophisticated ‘Heer’ of St. Stephen’s College (Nargis Fakhri’s character in Rockstar), DU’s lifestyle has been fabulously depicted in many bollywood movies.

Here we bring to you a list of some of the bollywood films that have featured DU colleges:-

1. Rockstar

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, this romantic musical drama portrays Ranbir Kapoor as ‘Janardhan’ from Hindu College and Nargis Fakhri as ‘Heer’ from St. Stephen’s College. Be it the college canteen or the entrance gate or the corridors, you can clearly see the glimpses of these two colleges in the movie!

2. Tanu Weds Manu Returns

Starring R.Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut, this film has been shot in Ramjas College where Kusum (Kangana) is a student with proper Haryanvi accent. With a few glimpses of Sri Ram College of Commerce as well, this movie is an entertaining blockbuster!
