The movie is priced at Rs 75 and would be available to viewers on a pay-per-view basis for download for 24 hours.

Says Dish TV COO Salil Kapoor, “Delhi-6 is an outstanding film which has been acclaimed both by critics and the viewers. Delhi-6 on Dish TV will enable our five million subscribers to enjoy the latest and best of movies in the comfort of their home.”

Delhi-6 is the story of love and self discovery set within the city of Delhi, which is a microcosm of India with all its chaos and contradictions. The film talks about an American citizen of Indian origin (Bachchan), coming to India and realising certain truths about himself.

UTV Motion Pictures CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur said, “UTV has seen tremendous success on the pay-per-view platform with movies like Fashion and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! clocking over hundred thousand downloads across platforms. We are pleased to now offer Delhi-6 on PPV to audiences at home.”
