If you love Bollywood movies, or Bollywood in general, you have to check out Bollywood Park in Dubai. I've been a Bollywood fan since childhood. However, the past few years or so have changed a lot. Ever since then, I haven't been up to date or as excited about upcoming movies.

At Bollywood Parks, you will see everything from comedy, romance, music and action. There is so much to see and experience, along with the Miracle Garden, which was definitely worth my time. The park is open from 1 pm to 10 pm every day, so there's plenty of time to catch your favourite heroes and colourful scenes. There are different zones of the park, and each of its own has vibrant displays of cafes and entertainment.

In 2022, I managed to grab a great deal, which includes 2 resorts in 1 day and a free meal from Cobone for the price of 295 AED each. You have a choice of an Indian meal or a burger meal, which was a great offer if you can visit two resorts in one day. Therefore, my wife visited Bollywood Parks in the morning, and then a few hours later, we went to Motiongate for the rest of the day.

Bollywood Boulevard

This is the first zone where you enter Bollywood Park. Here you witness such colourful buildings filled with cafes and live entertainment surroundings. They have created some new rides, which include Bollywood Skyflyer, Abra Ka Dabra, and Taxi No.1, since the last time I visited.

Mumbai Chowk 

In this zone, you see the classic Victoria railway station and the rickshaw, making you feel like you're in India. Those live performances on the roof of Mumbai Express are the ones to look out for; they really brought back good memories of those songs played. I even caught a lookalike, Amitabh Bachchan. Now, how about that? You have to check out those 3D films, this area had a Shah Rukh Khan's Don screening.

Rustic Ravine

This little area has some of the best classic film blasts from the past with Lagaan, Dabangg and Sholay. Although the Dabangg ride was closed, I'm not sure why it seemed closed. I decided to see Lagaan, which shows a simulation of a cricket game, where you go through the Ferris wheel and carousels. This was a really cool experience, as you enter, you're told a story by Aamir Khan, the actor, a story from a clock tower.

Thereon, you take your seat like on a roller coaster ride, whilst watching a cricket simulator. Whilst on the ride, you feel a breeze of air, which adds an extra effect to the ride. I experienced the Sholay ride, where you go to a little scene based on a shooting game. Basically, you watch an animated version, and then you try to shoot all the bad guys using a laser gun.

Royal Plaza

This was truly a stunning zone, where I saw the Rajmahal Theatre, the iconic landmark of the park, showing a resemblance to the Taj Mahal. I saw a colourful experience of a Bollywood dance routine performed. Nearby, you see Mughal-E-Azam, which provides some good dishes. The star on the step is where Bollywood dances and songs were performed. This is where people from the crowd get involved, too. This was the moment when I saw a Shah Rukh Khan lookalike performing his hit songs. There were so many people crowding him, trying to get pictures, which was quite hilarious.

In 2022, the Raj Mahal was opened, so I got to witness the stunning architecture inside, which hosts a range of Indian theatre shows.

Bollywood Film Studios

In this zone, you experience the heroes of Bollywood from RA One and Krissh. Watch those heroes from a cinematic 4D view, as if you're flying on the ride. There was one place, I'm not sure exactly what zone it was in. However, people from the crowd had to take part in the 'Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara' scenes.

The scenes were hilarious because the people who had to take part were so funny. In each scene, the director selects people to act in certain scenes from the film, which eventually made it into a short movie. The parts, I can't explain how funny it was, but the volunteer's acting was beyond hilarious to watch.

Conclusion

Overall, I truly enjoyed my experience here at Bollywood Park in Dubai. If I wanted to, I could have easily spent more time here than I originally did. However, I wanted to see other places, such as the Global Village. I had to cut short my time at Bollywood Park. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. You should add this to your list of attractions because you won't be disappointed.

If you enjoy the Indian culture, the music and dance or just like a bit of Bollywood. You will certainly enjoy your time and have a great laugh. Although I went on my own, I thought this place was perfect to explore for an afternoon outing, especially if you go with the family or have kids.

This time I went to Bollywood Parks; it wasn't as great as I had anticipated, but it was still enjoyable for my partner to see this resort. We visited all the open rides, took in a few of the new attractions, and then proceeded to the Rajmahal theatre.

Tickets

The ticket prices are fairly high, I have to say, for an individual adult ticket. It seems pretty expensive, but how often or when will I come here again? That was the thought in the end, hence why I paid such a price. The cost was 295 AED for an adult ticket to explore around here. The prices have gone up since 3 years, so I'm not surprised how expensive everything has become since last time. However, we managed to grab our tickets for a combo deal, which worked out much cheaper than buying a single resort ticket.
