You can do all these at Bollywood Parks Dubai, the world’s first Bollywood theme park, which officially opened its doors on 16 November 2016.

Located near the Dubai-Abu Dhabi border, the park will bring to life the action, music, dance and drama of Bollywood spread across five zones: Bollywood Boulevard, Mumbai Chowk, Rustic Ravine, Royal Plaza and Bollywood Film Studios featuring Hall of Heroes.

“The park is a mix of rides, excitement and adventure, while staying true to the ethos of Bollywood. Films are a reflection of reality where we strongly believe in our hopes, and the same will be translated to the park where you will have fun,” Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said. Covering around 1.7 million square feet, the Bollywood-themed park, which part of the Dubai Parks and Resorts, also has six themed restaurants that capture India’s culinary history and eight retail outlets selling Bollywood merchandise.

“Visitors will experience bold action, colourful story-telling and captivating dance sequences inspired by nine popular films: Rock On!!, Don, Lagaan, Sholay, Dabangg, Mughal-e-Azam, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, RA.One and Krrish,” said Thomas Jellum, general manager of Bollywood Parks Dubai.

The park will have up to 20 live shows across six stages on the opening day. Hundreds of actors, dancers, singers and acrobats were auditioned from across India to be a part of the 120-minute musical “Jaan-e-Jigar” at the 850-seater Rajmahal Theatre, its flagship offering.

“Each even has been carefully developed to completely transport our guests into the world of Bollywood which is adored by a large global audience.” Jellum added.
