How To Reach Film City

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Film City, officially known as the Dadasaheb Phalke Chitranagari, is the sprawling, integrated film studio complex and the lifeblood of the Hindi film industry, Bollywood. It was established in 1977 by the Government of Maharashtra to provide a centralized facility for film production, minimizing th e need to shoot outdoors in the busy city. The complex was later renamed in 2001 to honor Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian Cinema. Spread over a massive 520 acres of land, the complex is located in the lush, green surroundings of Goregaon East, bordering the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). This strategic location offers a wide variety of natural backdrops—from hills and forests to man-made lakes and waterfalls—all within the secure studio grounds. Beyond the natural settings, Film City houses around 16 sound-proof, air-conditioned studio floors and over 42 outdoor permanent shooting locations. These permanent sets are designed to mimic diverse real-world locations such as a court, prison, police station, hospital, urban markets, temples, and even a mock 'Khandala Bridge'. This allows filmmakers to create entire worlds without leaving the complex, which is critical for the continuous production of Bollywood films and television serials. The complex is managed by the Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development Corporation (MFSCDC). Visitors can experience Film City through organized bus tours, which offer a peek into the sets and sometimes, if luck holds, a live shoot. It stands as a symbol of Mumbai's identity as the "City of Dreams" and the capital of Indian Cinema.

How to Reach

By Air (Direct Taxi/Cab) The nearest airport is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), located approximately 10-12 KMS away. From the airport, hiring a pre-paid taxi or app-based cab is the most straightforward way. The drive to Goregaon East can take 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic conditions on the Western Express Highway. By Train (Local Suburban Network) The nearest railway station is Goregaon Railway Station on the Western Line.

From Goregaon Station: Take an auto-rickshaw or a taxi from the eastern side of the station (Goregaon East). The complex is located deep inside the Aarey Colony area, and the final stretch is a few kilometers. Negotiate the fare with the auto-rickshaw driver or use a ride-sharing app for the final leg. By Road (Direct Transport) Film City is well-connected by road via the Western Express Highway. Local Transport in the form of taxis and app-based cabs can take you directly to the entrance gate. BEST buses also ply routes toward the Aarey Colony, but a direct bus stop at the gate is less likely, requiring a final long walk or auto-rickshaw ride. The road journey through Aarey is scenic but can be slow during rush hour.
