Fall in love with Canberra again - courtesy of Bollywood!

This article from the Times of India, 7 Jan 2001, throws some light on the matter: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Latest-Hrithik-movie-could-make-Canberra-a-hit/articleshow/26866345.cms

I’m guessing they would have taken permission and/or blocked the roads!
Also movie has to be before September 26, 2008 since that is the day it was uploaded..imdb check shows http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247911/ that is 2002 release..Canberra’s first Bollywood movie

That was cool! But where the hell is Panvel?

Dancing in front of the AWM for an INdian film is about as appropriate as western honeymooning couples taking cute kissy photos outside Thai temples etc.

I didn’t think in front of the War Memorial was quite right either.

Canberra has about a thousand locations better than parliament house to shoot. We plan to shoot there next year and found some very interesting places. Canberra is quite unique in many ways to look at but the lake and parliament house don’t capture any of it.

I enjoyed it, although I’m not sure the AWM is an appropriate background for a musical, even ‘Springtime For Hitler’!

Not sure this was the one shot in 2000, however, as I jogged through the background of a scene being shot near the flagpole on Regatta Point. The actors in this clip look totally different from the ones there that day. Of course, it could have just been a different scene….

The same road rules applied in 2000… c’mon observant ones, where are you?

Olivia, are you talking about the actors not wearing seat belts in the driving scenes? Yes, I think a couple of laws might have got broken there.

Perhaps it was New Delhi rules…not Canberra rules?

some poor continuity near the end when they’re dancing among the flags…

The white van?
