A bollywood set in city of dreams - Dubai

I didn't expect to find United Arab Emirates

Dubai is a city of excitement and the country with the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa. Recently i have visited Bollywood parks located in dubai parks and resorts-sheikh zayed road. it is a theme park styled like a bollywood set(Indian Film Industry). Dubai parks and resorts contains 4 parks, 3 theme and 1 water park. It was a 1 day package and i went with my mom. They picked us from our location around 4pm. At the entrance there is a huge wall with pictures of bollywood actors. When i walked inside, i really surprised that it feel like i was in india right now. The set is so beautiful and there is a building at the centre of the park, named Raj Mahal and its so similar to Taj mahal located in Agra, India.I got a map of the park from the reception so i followed it. The Raj mahal invited us with a classical dance of girls showing indian culture. Thats was so beautiful and feels proud to be an Indian. The place is so wonderfully arranged so that we can take many pictures. There were many small buildings with fun games.After the dance and pictureshots we decide to explore the place. First building is Sharukh Khan's 4d game, he as the mafia boss Don and defeat the evil RA. We sat in the front row and the seats were shaked and also water spread around us throughout the show. My mom liked that game. Then in dabang building, there was an explosive stunt show featuring Salman khan's chulbul pandey from Dabangg movie. That was so cool and the dancers are energetic. Next was roller-coaster ride of Aamir Khan's Lagaan movie but unfortunately we cant be able to enter there because of crowd. So we moved to the next, Hrithik Roshan's Krish movie set. We were flying along with him and that was so fun. There are many small shops for purchase and it costs pretty much so i bought only a 7up to drink. From the entrance i got a coupon for food and it can be used only once. So i headover to the food court and it was so crouded. There were starters, main course, dessert and drinks and it was buffet so we can take whatever we want. When I walked to the park first, i saw a building with the movie name 'zindagi na milegi dobara', and i thought that must be a theatre screening the movie. So after the tasty dinner, me & mom decided to watch that movie. But it was a game that was the most fun of all to me. it was a small theatre with 4 rooms. We enter the first room, along with me there were around 40 people. A tall guy hosted us, he selected 10 people from us and shoot some of the movie scenes to show us the techniques used in that movie. we moved through all the rooms and the final room contains a large screen were we saw the final outcome of the shooting done in all the three rooms. So then its time for us to go back to the bus. The place is seriously really wide to walk and we got confused the way. Finding the bus, we endedup in the french village near to the park. That was a mind blowing view and all the builings were build with large bricks. I dnt know the real france look like this but at that time i really wished to go to france. We totally confused and finally took ah small cab inside the park and that guy dropped us near the bus. We reaches home around 10.30pm. This trip was a suprise by my sister and the best of all.
