Mumbai · TICKETS
Good tickets & entry passes fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend about three hours at SJ Studios in Andheri East with a private guide such as Nidhe. See active sets and filming, record a song, try Bollywood costumes, watch dance and VFX demonstrations, and visit the studio museum.
“Nice atmosphere, friendly guides... Liked that they requested email to send us the recorded songs we did in the studio...”
Spend a half-day exploring Mumbai’s Bollywood studios with an English-speaking guide such as Dinesh. Watch filming, inspect sets, see dance performances, record your voice in a singing studio, and dub scenes from famous Hindi films. The tour suits families and curious first-time visitors, though the actual visit may be shorter than expected.
“The team was great. They did me a huge favor by allowing me to attend the tour after the date, for very specific and justified reasons. The guide Dinesh was the best. A completely personalized tour. Explaining and taking photos and videos in all parts of the studio. I highly recommend it. You go through the set watching live how they perform the entire series, there is the recording studio, there are the actors rehearsing, recording, and they are also very friendly that you can take photos with them. The dance area, with 3 traditional musicians, beautiful costumes, as well as doing a little dance with them. And for Karaoke…”
Fly from Mumbai to Aurangabad, then visit Ellora’s Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain temples and Ajanta’s painted Buddhist caves with a driver and optional guide. You’ll return to Mumbai the same night, making this a useful, demanding day trip for anyone short on time.
“The sight seeing was unbelievable! My voucher for both Ajanta and Ellora were not honored. I had to pay cash.”
Pick a lane, a ferry or a lunchbox.
