‘Dilli Ka Dada’ is a film from 1962. As I started to write this piece, just wondered, how many films have been made whose names are based on city names, referring to someone from there. At first I thought, may not be many, but as I start to think about it, just in a couple of minutes, I could identify ‘Baghdad Ka Chor’ (1932, 1946, 1955), ‘Hyderabad Ki Naazneen’ (1952), ‘Arab Ka Saudagar’ (1956), ‘Dilli Ka Thug’ (1958), ‘Bombay Ki Billi’ (1960), ‘Bambai Ka Babu’ (1960), ‘Bombay Ka Chor’ (1962). And I am sure there are many more yet to be listed. Let’s see how many more such names our readers can up with. 🙂
