Only mumbaikars have stories?

All bolly films used to be based in Mumbai with some song sequences in Kashmir/Switzerland or the like.

My opinion..

Movie Costing will go up..

That is why they build entire set and shoot in Mumbai..

Considerable amount of scenes in 2 states were shot in the areas of Pondicherry and Mahabaleshwar, Barfi had beautiful scenes in Darjeeling, even Jaipur looked beautiful in Shuddh desi romance. I think, the filmmakers are slowly exploring the less-explored places on-screen. Delhi was also beautifully portrayed in movies like RDB and Vicky Donor.

However, I agree with the Kerala part, the cinematography of many Malayalam movies is effing gorgeous. I'm smitten by the beauty, most of the times. 😆



Edit : Even though, Raavan was a bad movie, some portions of it were shot in Kerala and what beauty and who can forget the beautifully shot Behti hawa sa tha woh from 3 idiots in Ladakh!

p.s. Nice topic

its a mumbai film industry aka bollywood so predominately it will be shot in Mumbai itself and all stars technicians live in the city so saves cost rather than relocating to kerala with the whole unit

Its similar like you having your marriage in your city rather then going to other city and arranging hotel/food transportation to entire guest...

But they don't mind taking their entire unit to Switzerland/Prague/or whatever, Foreign locales might have been exotic once upon a time but now they look mundane.

When you like to spend money on burger, you think to have at the best place. and just a sandwich then you prefer to make at home..

So when spending money, catch Switzerland . UK.. but when other India regions.. best Mehboob studio..

LOL. So locations in India are not worth spending money? 😆

OT : Even the initial scenes of Life of Pi were shot in Munnar. Absolutely stunning.
