If that's what he wanted to do, he should have put it up on YouTube, or on his blog! <BR/><BR/>One of the best depictions of Delhi, especially of DU, done with great care and attention to detail, was seen in Sarfarosh.

I have nothing but applause for ROM, it was brilliant and outstanding and wonderful and awe-inspiring, and it just was.
