A Day at a Film City


No, I am not getting paid for this (but thinking about it, maybe I should :D). Anyway, I had a great opportunity to visit the Guinness certified world's largest film studio complex in the world. The Ramoji Film City, a 1,666 acre plot of land is home to a diverse complex of family fun and film industry business. Situated some kilometers outside Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, it is quite an experience. 

 I had been studying in the city (Hyderabad) for almost five years, but I never had the chance to visit most of its landmarks and renowned places - which at present since I no longer am out of state, I do regret it. But life gives you more chances and I wasn't going to miss out on this one.










As you enter the complex, you will find some interesting architecture.



































Its easy to bedazzled by some, 
and others are way too strange
 for my comprehension. 

 Oh yea, don't let the enormity of the area stress you. There are guided tours everywhere. And from personal experience, just follow the crowd. Chances are that you are always under schedule the whole time, even without you knowing it. As soon as one event finishes, the next starts. It certainly is an experience but make sure your fit enough to enjoy everything. For a Fluffy person like me, too much fun can be exhausting. :D


 The guided tour bus takes you around the major part of the complex. If you only understand English then it maybe wise to ask your guide to speak more of it during the tour. 


The entry cost around Rs 760/- however, it is all worth it as all rides and shows are complimentary . And for that money, you'll know its worth it at the end of the day. You can get complimentary lunch at Dil Se...fantastic food and yes, you can get seconds.

 Every where you look around, you'll see the thoughts that has been given into creating this place. Gardens, parks, and other complexes are adorned with beauty and theme.
 


Ramoji Film City is an experience that will stay in the memory for a long time. 


Also, don't forget to visit the Ramoji Movie Magic. The fun still continues. 


Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Please rate and leave comments. Thanks...
