This isn’t a review detailing why Delhi 6 sucked (IMO) or where it went wrong, it’s just about how a scene in the movie illustrates an excellent example of Game Theory.
There is a scene in the movie where Jai Gopal (the Black Friday dude) asks Gobar (Atul Kulkarni), the village idiot to choose between two 1 rupee coins and a ten rupee note. Gobar always chooses the two 1 rupee coins and the Jai Gopal proceeds to ridicule him and walks away after handing him the two rupees.
Near the climax of the movie, the Jai Gopal again asks him to choose between two 1 rupee coins and a ten rupee note and Gobar chooses the two 1 rupee coins again. At this point, someone asks him why he takes the two 1 rupee coins instead of the ten rupee note. He replies: “The day I take the ten rupee note, the game would be over.”
BTW, it was pretty dumb of him to reveal his strategy to others in front of Jai Gopal, as it ended the game anyway.

Ani, Arey I was bored, needed to update the blog, didn’t find anything great to write about and this seemed like good stuff for the infinitesimal minority of Indian game theorists who also watch crappy Bollywood movies.
