A penny for your thoughts!

Welcome to Ramoji Rao Film City!

Exotic birds' park:


Qaid mein hain panchchi! - How sad!     

When is Valentine's Day?   
                                Butterfly park

 

Intricately carved fountain

Colorful wall-paintings

All of us have been to this City before! How? Through our movies, of course! 

 

But seeing is believing, so off we went to see and experience this fairy- tale like, enchanting C5ity! 

Though the experience is an expensive one at the steep cost of a thousand precious bucks per person, it's a totally 'paisa-vasool' trip.


What makes it priceless are the impeccably maintained roads, transport facilities inside the city, amenities and of course, the film sets, locales, shows and the tour guide's humorous narration of the City's highlights. 

      


We enjoyed our forays into the serial Ramayana's set, the filmy airport, complete with an aeroplane which one could board and occupy seats therein, the railway station with a train that runs on tyres, a Buddhist monastery set in a cave, a replica of the Pink City - Jaipur, a Japanese garden, etc.


The spoiler was the restaurant which could barely manage the tourists' lunch orders, besides being too expensive! 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we can't carry eatables inside the City we are forced to buy the expensive stuff there.
The tourists have a choice of free and paid rides at the amusement park there.


 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed the juggler's show, the dance show and the 'making of movies' show.

                    

A cap/hat/scarf, cotton, casual wear and goggles are a must to beat the scorching heat at this City.


All in all, a welcome respite from day-to-day reality! Escape into this wonderland at least once!

Date of experience: March 2017
