Top Film Shooting Locations in India for Every Kind of Production

Introduction

One of India’s greatest strengths as a production destination is its sheer variety of locations. Within a single country you can move from snow-capped mountains to tropical beaches, ancient forts to gleaming city skylines.

Mumbai & Maharashtra

The heart of the Indian film industry, offering studios, urban backdrops, colonial architecture, and coastline — all with deep crew availability.

Rajasthan

Palaces, forts, and desert landscapes make Rajasthan ideal for period films, fashion shoots, and grand commercials.

Kerala & Goa

Backwaters, beaches, and lush greenery suit travel films, music videos, and lifestyle content.

Kashmir & the North-East

Mountains, valleys, and untouched natural beauty provide dramatic settings for cinematic storytelling.

Planning Permissions Early

Every location carries its own permission requirements. A line production partner like IKON Productions handles scouting, permits, and local coordination so your shoot stays on schedule. Learn more.
