Talking about Hindi Cinema, may be London and USA are the top shooting locations for Bollywood movies but for the pure desi tadka and perfect depiction of college life, nothing can gleam the screen better than shooting in the arms of India’s no.1 university.

We bring to you some movies which have been shot in Delhi University. Surely this will add a good amount to the list of things you can flaunt proudly about your University.
Take a look !

1) Fukrey

Initially, the movie was supposed to be shot in SRCC. But, the movie smartly captured Miranda House as a co-educational college. Not just this, the soundtrack of Fukrey was launched in ARSD for the first time And that’s what we call true love for DU.

2) Rockstar

An epic movie directed by Imtiaz Ali, depicts the perfect scenario of a Hindu College boy Janardhan and from the epitome of sophistication, a Stephanite- Heer. Rockstar, a romantic musical drama was shot during the summer break of DU. Be it college canteen or the main entrance, one can easily see the glimpse of these colleges in the movie.

3) Band Bajaa Baraat

How can one miss the song Tarkeebe from this movie? It has shots of Hansraj College’s boys hostel and its classrooms. Maneesh Sharma, director of the movie, truly did justice to the life of DUites by playing around the campus.

4) Do Dooni Chaar

From its annual fest to corridors to classrooms, Kirori Mal College did a fabulous cameo in this movie. No one can forget the fest scene of Rishi Kapoor’s daughter in the movie which was shot in Kirori Mal College.

  Famous Celebrities passed out from Delhi University (DU)

5) Dev D

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the badass of Bollywood who amazingly used the ultimate location of Hansraj College and the campus around it in the movie.

 6) Dil Dosti etc..

Shaping up the true students’ politics in Delhi University, Dil Dosti etc..depicts the perfect urge for power and authority. From presidency of college to simplicity to dedication to friendship, it has all the colors of a student life. The movie was entirely picturized in Hindu College and North Campus.

 7) Akaash Vani

This romantic hosteller-in-love story was shot in St. Stephens. Both the main leads Kartik Tiwari and Nushrat Bharucha leave no stone unturned to gleam the screen with their romance. From hostel to college library, love was shown everywhere.

 8)Special 26

Has anyone noticed the long corridor of CBI Headquarter in this movie? If not, then ladies and gentlemen that long way was actually the famous heritage hall of Miranda House which was transformed as CBI Headquarters. The college has appeared in silver screen in many other Bollywood movies as well.

9) Sahi Bande Galat Dhande

Pravin Dabbas and Udit Khurana, who did their debut as directors in this movie, are famous alumna of Hansraj College. Some of the scenes in the movie were shot there and the campus around it. Also the team organised a special screening in Hansraj College for the movie.

 And one from around the globe……
10) The Reluctant Fundamentalist

This movie was adopted from an unpublished novel ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ and directed by Mira Nair. She perfectly recreated the scenes of Lahore around the Zoology Department of Miranda House.

5 Myths about Delhi University

Perks of Studying in North Campus

Minervarya Pentali, a new frog species, was discovered in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot, which stretches along the southwest coast of the Indian Peninsula, and is endemic to the southern Western Ghats, according to the research team.

Minervarya Pentali, a new frog species identified in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot, which stretches along the southwest coast of the Indian Peninsula, is endemic to the southern Western Ghats, according to the research team.

The research team claims to have resolved the identity and taxonomic status of all known members of the genus Minervarya from Peninsular India after a ten-year investigation on the genus Minervarya.

Professor S D Biju said, “It is a great honor to name a frog species after Prof Deepak Pental, the former Vice-Chancellor of University of Delhi, in recognition of his tremendous support and encouragement for the establishment of the Systematics Lab at the University of Delhi, where research led to the discovery and description of nearly one-fourth of all known Indian amphibians.”

Professor Pental is a well-known researcher whose main focus is crop breeding. From 2005 until 2010, he served as the Vice-Chancellor of Delhi University.

“Professor Biju has been really helpful; he believes I contributed much to this study. He considered me worthy despite the fact that I am not a naturist. However, it is entirely his labor, and he is deserving of more credit than I am. He’s a natural scientist who’s found a slew of new frog species, is an outspoken environmentalist who spends months and years in the field We need work like that.” Prof. Pental stated.
