Mumbai is the nerve centre of the largest film industry in the world
and Bollywood is a phenomenon in itself, churning out more than 900 movies in a
variety of genre. The tinsel town attracts thousands of star struck fans and
movie star wannabes every day.
If you are a movie buff, the sprawling FilmCity
should be a must see item on your wish list. TheMumbaiFilmCityis located in a secluded area
on the outskirts of the National Park close to the Aarey Colony in Goregaon. It
boasts of world-class facilities for all departments of movie making. Well
equipped with indoor and outdoor shooting facilities, editing, recording and
post production studios, this complex ranks among the first few in India.
As you take a tour round the few areas that are accessible to the
public, you will find beautiful fountains, lakes, theatres and grounds for
fighting sequences, helipads and real-looking buildings. Many foreign locales
are duplicated here and you might spot your favorite screen idol cavorting
around a fountain or a park!
Hi. I will be travelling to Mumbai later this month (Jan 22nd) with 2 kids. Would appreciate if someone could advise us on the weather in Mumbai around that time. Would we need woollens?
We will be there from Thursday afternoon to Monday evening. I would also welcome advice on how we should plan our trip so that kids enjoy themselves without getting too tired. Thanks a lot.
