If you are a fan of Bollywood, you’ve probably heard about this park and are eagerly waiting for it to open.

Set to open this October, the park will feature five zones – each dedicated to a different theme – in addition to 16 attractions.
1. Bollywood Boulevard
It’s all about the entertainment, street-style food carts and shopping in this zone.
