'Queen' to 'Vicky Donor': 3 times Bollywood took to the streets of Delhi to shoot

The capital city of New Delhi is a preferred destination for filmmakers. They are fascinated by its rich cultural heritage and liveliness. Delhi has witnessed the rise and fall of rulers, dynasties and the birth of popular poets. Now the colossal monuments have dilapidated over time; while some are partially ruined, their influence can be felt in the modern-day Delhi. So, here is a list of three acclaimed Bollywood movies that were shot in Delhi.
