By JENNIFER HOPFINGER

Movie Delhi-6 starring Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor

Delhi-6, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, has become the first Bollywood film available for purchase from the Apple iTunes online store. It can be downloaded for $9.99.

The film, which released worldwide in February 2009, is about a New Yorker of Indian origin who brings his sick grandmother back to her hometown of Delhi. Filled with gorgeous urban footage, the film captures the wonder of seeing India for the first time. Delhi-6 was co-produced by UTV Motion Pictures and the film’s director, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

The Hindi-language film, Saawariya (2007), starring Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, and Salman Khan, is also available on iTunes, but it’s technically not a Bollywood film because it was produced and released by a Hollywood studio, Sony Pictures Entertainment.
