As someone who's never been to India, when someone says "Bangalore" I think "tech hub" and when someone says "New Delhi" I think "Bollywood". Do people feel a pull toward New Delhi the way people feel a pull toward NYC here in the US?

Delhi is DC - capital of the country, lots of politicians and bureaucrats. Also spread out quite a bit and with lots of impressive historical and government buildings.
Mumbai is LA and NYC sort of combined - entertainment capital (Bollywood) and financial capital (main stock exchange, banks, Dalal street (equivalent of Wall Street). Also like NYC, cramped with lots of skyscrapers.
While I can't speak for Delhi, Mumbai is closer to the "NY of India" and attracts young people in the same way

If we are going to compare cities
Mumbai == LA (Film Industries) Delhi == NY (Not much to support this but the Rude people stereotype)

Not really, the financial center of India is Mumbai. Bombay Stock Exchance is in Mumbai, as its name implies. You could say the Wall Street of India is in Mumbai.
Anyway, I'm not sure it would make sense to make these comparisons.
