Dharavi, from Mahim Junction · public access

Dharavi, from Mahim Junction

Mahim Junction station, the meeting point for Reality Tours’ Dharavi walk

Described in the place’s facts.

Inherited access advice: Go with a walk, not on your own: Reality Tours & Travel meets at Mahim station at 10am or 2.30pm (shared, from ₹1,600, at most six people, 2½ hours). No cameras: the rule is there for the people who live here. Reconfirm before visiting.

Clay lamps at Kumbharwada, Dharavi’s potters’ quarter, March 2019. · SriChinnu · CC BY-SA 4.0

The production notes say the crew shot in and around Dharavi, which they call India’s largest slum.

Small cameras were chosen partly because big 35mm rigs would have disturbed the streets; a stills camera shooting twelve frames a second was used as well.

Reality Tours’ walk passes recycling, pottery, bakery, soap, leather and papad workshops, homes and religious sites, and the community centre run by its charity, Reality Gives.

The company says 80% of its post-tax profit goes to Reality Gives, and that it keeps a strict no-camera policy to respect residents’ privacy.

Mahim Creek, at Mahim Nature Park

Bandra–Sion Link Road, beside Dharavi bus depot

Described in the place’s facts.

Inherited access advice: Weekdays 9.30am to 6pm, ₹10; weekends and holidays by prior permission. Sion station is a walk away. The bird-watching area is by the creek. Reconfirm before visiting.

The crew filmed near Mahim Creek, which the notes describe as fed by a giant pipeline running through the middle of the slums.

Mahim Creek is the tidal creek the Mithi River opens into.

The nature park beside it was once a rubbish dump; Dr Salim Ali began planting trees there in 1983. Today it has more than 120 kinds of bird and 75 of butterfly, and a farmers’ market on Sundays.

Juhu · public access

Juhu

Juhu Beach, on the Arabian Sea

Described in the place’s facts.

Inherited access advice: The beach is public and best at the end of the day, with street food along the sand. Nearest stations: Vile Parle, Santacruz or Andheri; the film’s lanes behind it are homes, so keep to the beach. Reconfirm before visiting.

The notes say the crew also shot in Juhu, which they call one of the most vibrant slums, next to the airport and seen by everyone flying into Mumbai.

Juhu Beach runs for about 5 kilometres along the Arabian Sea, lined with street-food sellers.

Juhu Aerodrome, founded in 1928, was India’s first civil airport.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus

Fort, south Mumbai; Victoria Terminus in the film’s day

Described in the place’s facts.

Inherited access advice: A working station: the suburban platforms are under the big clock. Come after dark to see the front lit up from across the road, and stay out of the way of commuters at rush hour. Reconfirm before visiting.

The crew filmed the dance that plays over the end credits here, at Victoria Terminus.

Frederick William Stevens designed it; work began in 1878 and it opened on 20 May 1888, named for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

It became Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in 1996 and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in 2017, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.

It has 18 platforms: 7 for suburban trains and 11 for long-distance ones.

Mumbai, with city streets separated from studio sets and other Indian locations.

No transport routes, stays, events or new image permissions are inferred. Existing imagery is reproduced only where the subject package records cleared rights.

About this city

Mumbai is a new city on Where It Was and is still growing. Photographs show each place today, not production stills; map markers are site references, not filming positions, and access is as researched, so check before you visit.
