Danny’s Delhi comparisons

British director Danny Boyle might have paid the most lucrative tribute to Mumbai with his film, Slumdog Millionaire, but it isn���t as if Delhi didn���t impress him.
On a short promotional visit here, along with the cast and crew of the film, Danny couldn���t help but admire how green Delhi was, even after an exhausting day parrying questions and giving interviews.���There���s so much greenery in Delhi, isn���t it? It���s amazing,��� he said, looking out of his hotel room window.
���Mumbai is an island. Like New York... It���s straight and narrow ��� and more and more people pour into it. I didn���t know that ��� I was astonished to find out. Did you know that?��� he asked Simon Beaufoy, the writer of the movie. ���Is it? I didn���t know that. That means you���re surrounded by water,��� Simon answered. And Danny went on, ���It���s funny the way cities are different, though. When we were casting for the film, we went to Kolkata, and it���s so sleepy, as compared to Mumbai! It���s palpable when you step off the plane. Incredible city. It���s the same everywhere ��� Newcastle in the UK has such a different identity, and London ��� everybody���s in London, from all over the world.���
