Visit to Ramoji Rao City

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: Wikipedia)

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.

Buddha Cave behind this 

Sleeping Buddha.


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


The Darbar set.


I loved this design structure; the whole darbar have the same design.


Duplicate Hyderabad railway station made for shooting purpose


Guess what…? See the tires, yes the movie train runs on the car tires.



Duplicate Airport Set 


Have you remember the giant and beautiful waterfall of Bahubali? Shooted in this tall building. Can you believe it!  However, this is true.

Ramoji 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 for stopping by.
