How to book the tour
Film City, officially the Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari, is a working studio complex run by the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation. Maharashtra Tourism describes it as a complex of theatres, gardens, lakes and recording rooms that is leased out for film shootings (Mumbai Suburban district page). Tourist visits are sold through a tour operator, and there are three ways to check and book:
- The operator’s booking page: Mumbai Filmcity Tour with Bollywood Park shows the rates, timings, terms and a date selector. This is the page to use for prices.
- BookMyShow: the same tour is listed on BookMyShow, priced at Rs 1,200 onwards. Check the dates it offers.
- The corporation’s tour enquiry line: the Film City contact page lists 84259 18081 for Film City tours and links to Bollywood Tourism. The 022 6930 9810 number on the same page is listed as the corporation’s booking office, so use the tour number for tickets.
A ticket counter at Gate No. 1 is published, but that does not guarantee walk-up tickets will be available on the day. Book a dated slot before you travel.
Mumbai Filmcity Tour with Bollywood Park: what the ticket includes
| Detail | What is published |
|---|---|
| Price | Rs 1,200 per person for Indian visitors and Rs 3,200 for foreign nationals on the operator’s booking page. BookMyShow lists “Rs 1,200 onwards”. The operator’s FAQ page shows lower figures (Rs 1,099 and Rs 3,099), so confirm the amount for your selected date before you pay |
| Operating window | Daily between 11 am and 4:30 pm. This is the window in which tours run, not a promise that a tour leaves whenever you arrive |
| Reporting time | The operator’s FAQ recommends reaching the venue 30 minutes before your booked tour time. For an 11 am slot, aim to be at the counter by 10:30 am |
| Duration | 2 to 3 hours on the operator’s page, 3 hours on BookMyShow. Plan around three hours after the tour starts |
| Included | A guide, Film City sightseeing, Bollywood Park entry, an AC bus and government taxes, according to the BookMyShow listing. The operator describes walks through sets such as Raj Mahal, Goa Street and Fort and Caves, live dance and comedy shows, and a chroma key and foley demonstration |
| Not included | Private tour, pickup and drop, meals and snacks, Eyelusion Park entry and Gamezone charges, per BookMyShow |
| Children | Children under 5 enter free but are not allotted a seat. Ages 5 and above pay the same as adults, according to the operator’s FAQ page |
| Accessibility | The operator lists this tour as not wheelchair accessible |
| Cancellation | Customer cancellations are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled, and the tour does not wait for latecomers |
Rides on the AC bus can make the tour sound like a seated experience, but guests get off at selected locations and walk through the sets. If someone in your group has limited mobility, ask the operator about access before you buy a non-refundable ticket.
What a family pays
These examples use the Indian rate of Rs 1,200 shown on the booking page. Meals and travel to the gate are not included in any of them.

What you will and will not see
- You walk through pre-built sets and filming locations and see shows, whether or not any shooting is going on.
- The operator says studio access is restricted and celebrity sightings are not guaranteed because of shoot schedules. Do not buy the tour expecting to watch a live shoot. The ticket covers the guided locations, visitor sets and demonstrations, not unrestricted entry to working studio interiors.
- Photography and videography are allowed only in designated areas, and mobile phones must be kept on silent during the tour.
- Carry a valid photo ID.
A Film City tour is not the same as a Bollywood tour
Search results for “Mumbai Film City tour” mix two different things. One is the Gate No. 1 tour above, a ticketed visit inside the Goregaon complex. The other is a wider “Bollywood tour” sold by agents, which may include a Film City stop and other places in the city. GetYourGuide lists many of these, priced in dollars and often with hotel pickup or a private car. They include options with a dance show, a mock shoot, celebrity homes or other sights such as Dharavi or Elephanta, from about 2.5 hours to a full day. They are not the same product as a Rs 1,200 ticket, so compare what each includes, and where it meets you, before booking.
Getting there from Navi Mumbai
Follow this route: Panvel or Vashi, then a Goregaon-bound Harbour line local, then Goregaon station by the east exit, then a bus or auto to the Bollywood Park Booking Counter, Gate No. 1, Santosh Nagar. The operator’s how to reach page gives the same station and gate but no bus numbers, so check a live map for the last leg.
- By train: as one timetable example, local 98905 is listed at 7:39 am from Panvel, 8:09 am at Vashi and 9:22 am at Goregaon (ConfirmTkt timetable). Not every Harbour train runs through to Goregaon, so check the destination board and the service for your travel date. Our Mumbai local train guide explains the line.
- Timing: work backwards from your slot. Allow separately for the ride from the station to the gate and for the 30 minute reporting buffer.
- By car: use Bollywood Park Booking Counter, Gate No. 1, Goregaon East as the destination. The operator’s head office is in Goregaon West and is not the meeting point.
Our Sanjay Gandhi National Park guide covers another outing in the same part of the city.
Before you book
- Choose the tour: the Gate No. 1 ticket, or a wider Bollywood tour with transport.
- Pick a dated slot and confirm the price for that date.
- Plan to reach the counter 30 minutes before the slot. Late arrivals cannot reschedule or cancel.
- Count children by age: under 5 free without a seat, 5 and above at the adult rate.
- Ask about access first if anyone needs step-free routes.
- Carry photo ID and plan for restricted photography.
- Book only what you will use, because customer cancellations are not refunded.
