The city of Mumbai is home to one of the largest movie making industry in the world. The city's association with glamour has made it a wonderful place. A typical Indian pot-boiler is a combination of song, dance, romance, melodrama and a little bit of violence. Beautiful actresses and handsome actors are a craze among the multitudinous fans.

Mumbai is the hub of Indian film industry. Mumbai has played a pivoted role in the development of cinematography. The first feature film Raja Harishchandra was produced in the city by Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian Cinema. Since then Mumbai has remained a main centre of Indian Film Industry for a period of a century. To provide facilities and concessions to the film industry the State Government has built a Film City at Goregaon.

Mockingly called Bollywood by locals and cynics, Film City clings to the outskirts of the National Park, and is practically overrun by assorted stars and starlets -- the demi gods and goddesses of Modern India. Don't snigger. Bollywood churns out over 900 films every year, all packed with those mandatory elements of song, dance, melodrama, violence and erotica that Indian audiences love. Which is probably why Film City sets are heavily booked around the year. They are closed to visitors, but special permissions can always be "obtained" to check out the action.

Places Of Interest The Film City is located away from the city life, bollywood films shooting is done in the film city so you can visit the sets of various bollywood films by getting prior permission .If you are lucky you can even get a chance to meet and see bollywood stars there are multiple places which you would certainly find interesting.
