What Can One Expect From a Bollywood Tour?

Some exciting packages are usually lined up, but they can custom-tailor it according to your interest. Typically, it would be a combination of the below mentioned activities.

• Behind the scenes

Here the focus will be on behind-the-scene glimpses of Bollywood film-making, where you will be taken to a movie set to witness the exciting technicalities and mechanics involved during the shoot. You may also have access to specially-built studios where you can observe the technicians at work. If you are lucky, you can get a peep into some film star’s makeup room and even a chance to pose with him or her.

• Live shooting

You will be taken to a live shoot, where you can observe the nuances involved in acting—the take and retakes that the directors calls for, or the beauty with which the actors immediately don the character of the role and deliver mind-blowing performances. However, this would depend on whether any shoot is taking place during the days of your visit.

• Post-production

This tour includes a visit to the editing, dubbing and music studio, where you will witness how dubbing gives an impactful edge to the characters, the magic that visual effects lend to a movie, and how the scenes are woven into a sequence through editing.

• Dance performances

Bollywood is all about music and dance. Some tour operators arrange exclusive dance performances, where dancers will woo you with exhilarating dance moves and guess what, you may get a chance to shake a leg or two, and even pose with them.

• Homes of Bollywood stars

You will be driven past the homes of Bollywood stars, where you can take a look at their houses and even click pictures. There are certain days, when the actor may come out to greet the crowd. But those are special days, and may not always be included in the tours.
