A Complete Guide To Goregaon Filmcity, Mumbai

Mumbai, the birthplace of Bollywood attracts millions of people to the city in search of jobs or to solely meet their favourite celebrity. Bollywood influences our society greatly, from clothing trends to celebrations. We want everything to be in Bollywood style.

I’ve spent my childhood watching Govinda movies and grooving to KJo’s movie tracks. Therefore, I decided to visit the Film City during my Mumbai trip in October 2021 to relive my childhood and watch the film sets come alive.

Here’s a video of my tour that’ll give you a glimpse of the enormous Filmcity.

The Film City doesn’t allow walk-in visitors unless you know someone personally who works here. Therefore, the best way to explore this place is to book a tour with the “Mumbai Filmcity Tours” to make the most of your time. They have multiple options to choose from, the lowest starting from 650 INR per person.

Table of Contents

What and where is the Filmcity?

Dadasaheb Phalke Chitra Nagari a.k.a, the Filmcity, is named after the father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke. A studio complex comprising 16 enclosed and 42 outdoor sets for shooting films and serials, located in Goregaon near Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

Ticket and Timings

Mumbai Filmcity Tours offer three types of guided tours, a short two-hour tour around the Filmcity, a Bollywood city tour that will take you in and around the Filmcity, and a live show tour, where you” get to visit a live shooting set. You can check the timings and book your tickets here .

Tip:  Only limited seats are available for each slots daily. Therefore, I recommend to pre-book tickets online to avoid last minute availability issue.

My experience touring the Filmcity

I booked the two-hour group tour that took us around the Filmcity. A professional guide accompanied us and enthusiastically educated us about the sets, history and ongoing shoots. It was a very informative and entertaining tour that helped us understand the history and culture of the Filmcity. Even though we didn’t spot any celebrities, the anticipation of spotting one made it supremely exciting.

On our way, we stopped by a few outdoor sets and took a 15-minute halt at the cafeteria for refreshments(not complimentary) before heading back. Here’s what I saw at the Filmcity.

Other locations that we came across:

• Bollywood’s favourite suicide point, where the protagonist is either killed (but somehow survives) or jumps voluntarily. This location was also used to shoot some of the most romantic songs in the 90s.
• The famous forest from CID, where ACP Praduman finds most of his clues.
• Daily soap sets like the Goenka villa of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata ha and Gokuldham society from Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chashma.
• Other TV show sets like Big Boss, KBC and Comedy Nights with Kapil.

New Delhi: The final decades of the British Raj in India coincided with the meteoric rise of a visionary film industry in Bombay that was not only vibrant but also prolific, releasing over 200 films a year by the 1930s.

In the years leading up to India’s independence, Bombay was “a modernising city in the throes of political agitation” and a site of regular religious riots that “worsened in the 1930s and 1940s”, writes film historian Debashree Mukherjee in Bombay Hustle: Making Movies in a Colonial City .

In the midst of these political and social changes, Bollywood came into its own.

“It is through a whirlpool of synchronous and incommensurable material practices generated by diverse film workers that cinema was forged as a distinctive and nameable medium for the modern age,” says Mukherjee in the book.

At the forefront of the Bombay-based Bollywood film boom, were the film production companies. And few such companies can claim to have enjoyed as much prominence in its heyday, and as little-documented a disappearance, as Filmistan Studios.

T 486 -Shoot at Filmistan Studios, such memories, the films done, the rejections faced, the triumphs of endeavor, the dejections of failure — Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) September 6, 2011

Established in 1943, Filmistan was located in the far north of the city centre in Goregaon (West) , and was a mainstay in the industry for the next two decades, releasing 66 films before falling off the map in the late 1960s, after which it operated only as a sporadically-rented film set campus, which continues till this day.

Beginnings & peak during ‘Golden Age’ of Hindi cinema

Filmistan Studios owes its creation to the problems faced by the better-established Bombay Talkies, following the death of director and Talkies chief Himanshu Rai in 1940.

In the years after Rai’s death, a falling out between actress and Rai’s wife, Devika Rani, and an opposing faction led by Sashadhar Mukherjee and Ashok Kumar, led to Mukherjee and Kumar breaking away to form Filmistan.

Fellow Bombay Talkies stalwarts Gyan Mukherjee and Rai Bahadur Chunnilal too got on board , with the former helming Filmistan’s first feature, Chal Chal Re Naujawan , in 1944, starring Ashok Kumar and Naseem Banu.

Sashadhar Mukherjee was responsible for Filmistan’s art direction and creative output, while Chunnilal took charge of finances, writes Shishir Krishna Sharma in his blog, ‘Beete Hue Din’.

This arrangement seemed to typify Filmistan’s growth and success over the years. While Chal Chal Re Naujawan was regarded as an “ above average ” grosser for its time, having collected Rs 30 lakh in the box office, Filmistan’s 1947 release Do Bhai was the second highest-grossing film in India that year.

The company also served as the Bollywood launchpad for celebrated writer-playwright Saadat Hasan Manto and director Ritwik Ghatak , both of whom worked at the production company as screenwriters, before establishing themselves independently.

“On regular days, I would take the electric train from Filmistan and reach home by 6 p.m. But on that particular day, I got a little late. The heated discussions over Shikari had gone on endlessly,” Manto is quoted in ‘Bombay Hustle’, as having shared about his experience as a screenwriter for the film Shikari (1946).

The 1950s are generally considered by today’s film writers, journalists and historians to be the ‘Golden Age’ of Hindi cinema. Filmistan’s growth in the 1940s came as a precursor to the Golden Age , but the films produced by the studio were an important part of this era, and some of the highest-grossing ones made during this period.

Also read: This 36-episode anthology was a launchpad for directors like Hansal Mehta, Anurag Kashyap

Chunnilal’s death & Sashadhar’s departure 

Just six years after the release of Chal Chal Re Naujawan , Chunnilal passed away and the financial responsibilities for Filmistan were transferred to the company’s new owner , Tolaram Jalan, while Sashadhar remained the face of the creative content.

The company continued to make financially successful, acclaimed films throughout the 1950s, such as Jagriti (1954), Nastik (1954) and Paying Guest (1956).

However, Sashadhar’s departure in 1958, due to disagreements with Jalan, and the formation of Filmalaya by Sashadhar Mukherjee not only marked the end of a 15-year era of success but also sowed the seeds of a complete shift in the company’s strategy. Shishir Krishna Sharma in his blog implies that Filmistan’s post-1958 productions lacked the quality of its predecessors and were effectively rudderless without Sashadhar’s leadership, until its last ever production, Payal ki Jhankaar (1968).

Ever since Tolaram Jalan pulled the plug on Filmistan as a production company, all that has remained is the Goregaon location, which continues to be rented out occasionally for film shoots. In the past decade, scenes n films such as Ra.One  (2011),  2 States  (2014) and  Radhe (2021) have been filmed here.

Such a long journey. With @iamsrk at the same spot where I started as an aide in Filmistan studios. http://twitpic.com/1ugdiy — Anubhav Sinha (@anubhavsinha) June 6, 2010

Over 40 years after the release of Payal ki Jhankaar , Filmistan made headlines again in 2011, but for the wrong reasons, with rumours of the company’s Goregaon studio being shut down and sold  doing the rounds. Both were denied by the company’s then-proprietor, Jasraj Purohit.

For a production company that achieved such highs, however, Filmistan’s sharp decline has received little attention in film history academia, compared to the well-documented collapse of Bombay Talkies in the same era.

Nimish Bangera 15 months ago Te best part is that it's close to station and anyone can commute the space. The Studio's are huge but the infrastructure is getting a bit old and it does what it needs to do that is to provide space for shoots in the heart of the city. Overall a good space for shoots.

Sarika Koyande 15 months ago Awesome shooting ambience, clean and neat, supportive staff. ☺????????

Anamika Sinha 18 months ago The Washroom is a major concern here.There are no dustbins inside the Women's washroom because of which people have thrown their used Sanitary napkins here and there .This is not lack of infrastructure but just lack of consideration.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
