Film City
Goregoan
Tel: 2840 1755
A majority of the film studios are located here. It is possible to arrange visits to some of the studios. The bulk of films made in Bollywood are sugary love stories or action dramas – the aim of the industry is to produce the entertainment and escapism that its audiences demand. The industry is now gaining more international recognition, as the success of Monsoon Wedding (2001) and Asoka (2001) in Britain shows.
Mumbai has many cinemas, the best known are

Eros Cinema
Eros Building, 42 M.Karve Road
Opp. Churchgate Station, Churchgate
Mumbai - 400020
Tel.No: 2282 2335

Shorabji Bhedwar designed this beautiful Art Deco building marking the beginning of Back Bay reclamation in early 1938. Interesting murals, housing shops and other businesses along with a cinema provides an interesting outing to this place. It is an excellent example of modern urban design.

The foundation of Eros Cinema was laid in 1935. This grand luxury cinema opened in 1938 thus establishing its presence at the pivotal urban junction where it is situated. The construction of this building on the then newly reclaimed Backbay plot housing shops and other businesses, apart from the cinema, took about two and a half years to complete. Partially faced with red Agra sandstone, this building is painted cream -- the combination making the building look taller. The two wings of this Art Deco building meet up in a central block. The foyer is in white and black marble with touches of gold. Marble staircases with chromium handrails lead up to the upper floor. The murals are in muted colours depicting Indian architectures.

Metro Cinema
Metro House, M G Road
Churchgate,
Mumbai - 400020
Tel.No: 2203 0303

Interesting are the anecdotes of some of the landmarks of Mumbai like the Metro Cinema which was opened in 1938 and was screening only English movies from the house of MGM for a long time. It is supposed to be on a lease for 999 years with a rent of Re 1 per year. The main architect was Thomas W. Lamb of New York, and D. W. Ditchburn of Bombay (Mumbai) was the associate architect.
The Art Deco cinema opened on June 8, 1938, and initially exhibited movies made by MGM. The interior, floors, walls, ceilings and furniture was in shades of red and pink. The marble foyer and staircases led up to murals executed by students of the J. J. School of Arts, under the director Charles Gerard.

Regal Cinema
Opp. S P Mukherji Chowk,
Kala Ghoda, Fort
Mumbai - 400001
Tel.No: 2202 1017, 2202 9271

Opened in 1933 designed by Charles Stevens with the interiors designed by Karl Schara, Regal Cinema lent its name to Regal Circle and was the only Art Deco cinema when it opened. The Governor of Bombay formally inaugurated Regal Cinema in 1933. It is a multi-use building combining a theatre with shops at street level. Its interiors were designed to create an impression of airiness, coolness and size in harmony with the modern simplicity of the exteriors. It was the first of Bombay's Art Deco cinemas. Executed completely in reinforced cement concrete (RCC), Regal Cinema was fully air conditioned, and had an underground parking lot for patrons. There was a lift up from the parking lot, a major innovation at that time. The interiors featured a lot of mirror work in the lobbies. The main auditorium had a motif of sunrays in pale orange and jade green.
