Do u like South Indian Movies? Nitin loved it a lot! Some
pictures I do love, like Magdheera, Bahubali, etc. The major south Indian films were
shooted at Raomji Rao Film Studio or city. There were a lot of Indian movies,
which are picturized in this film studio. When Nitin, told me that, we would be
going to Hyderabad, my first reaction was, shall we visit Ramoji Rao studio?
Because it actually far away from Hyderabad city and one day is not enough to
cover up the film city. People, if you want to see this film studio either you
go early before 9.00 am or the best option is to stay over there at least 3 to
4 days, then only you will get to see the beautiful film city.
The Ramoji Film City in India is the largest integrated film
city in the World. At 1500 acres, it is the world’s largest film studio. (Gunnies
world record). It is also a popular tourism and recreation center, containing
both natural and artificial attractions including amusement parks. (Source:

I would like to give out some tips for this visit.
·
First, we went there with our small kids. Lots
of sites that you can see by walking and with your kids, it will be frustrating.
Prepare for this if you are going with small kids.
·
Do not go in the monsoon season, yes, the real
beauty is in monsoon only, but the photo lover like me, will not be able to
make a nice click. You will get to know by watching our pics.
·
Third, if you are going to the monsoon go with
umbrella or raincoat.
·
Fourth go early before 9.00 am so that you will
able to cover at least half of the studio and can enjoy too.
·
Last but not the least; finish up with your tour
or site is seen as early as possible before lunch. Then only you will be able to
enjoy at Eureka Amusement park with lots of terrible rides.
·
Always go on an odd day, skip the holiday or Sunday
to avoid the crowd.
Without wasting too much time let get started with the
tour of Ramoji Rao Film City.
We got up early in the morning. Nitin booked Uber. Thankfully,
Saee got up early too and we stepped out around 8.00 am.
We tried to reach before 9.00 am, but Hyderabad traffic is like
Mumbai traffic and we were a little bit late to miss the special one i.e. welcome
dance.
This
one is Ramoji Film City bus. You can get AC bus too where you can be served
with breakfast. Ticket ranges are different as per the service. However, I
loved this bus at least we can able to get some more clicks…don’t know Nitin
tried it for me. One guide was in the bus who told all the details about each
spot. It was like Ramoji Rao Film Studio Darshan.
Main entrance of Ramoji Rao
Sleeping Buddha.

Bacchan starrer Suryavansham’s Palace. Most of the part of this movie picturized
in this palace.
The

Have
you remember the giant and beautiful waterfall of Bahubali? Shooted in this

this is true.

Movie Magic
We
enjoyed the whole process of film making in this studio. From shooting up to
the final product appear on the screen. It was actually a boring process but we
enjoyed it.
Hava
Mahal
The
famous song of Tadap Tadap ke is dil ko….of Salman Khan,only the starting of
the song shot over here. Apologize for dark image, due to rain, it was
dark.
Chinese
Garden
I
think this is half of the Ramoji Film City from the top of the Hava Mahal. I
could not cover up the whole Ramoji Rao in one post. I will be making in two or
three-part.
Stay
tune for the more interesting post.
Thanks
