Agree on it or not, at some point in our life, we all wished for a school or college life we saw in Bollywood movies. That fun, vibes, romance, and the college infrastructure, injected some unreal college life expectations into our minds. You may not get that fun college life but can surely get that surreal college infrastructure. Yes, you heard it right, Bollywood filmmakers have often opted for renowned Indian colleges and schools to fill the need for a dazzling backdrop. Today, here we bring you a list of the top 10 Indian schools and colleges where blockbuster Bollywood movies were shot:
1. 3 idiots (IIM Bangalore): The story of three idiot friends truly treated us with some true friendship goals. More than the story we loved the college, the movie was shot. Some of the most iconic scenes of the cult classic were shot in IIM Bangalore.
2. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai): It was an easy guess. The whole vibe of the song Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na went a notch higher just by having the prestigious St. Xavier’s College in the backdrop.
3. Student Of The Year (Forest Research Institute, Dehradun): Just like you even we thought that the college shown in Student of the year was some high-class European college. But in reality, the movie was shot in Dehradun’s Forest Research Institute.
4. Munna Bhai M.B.B.S (Grant Medical College, Mumbai): There was no denying the fact that it was the college shown in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S that uplifted the spirit of the movie. To give the medical school vibes, the movie was filmed on the premises of Grant Medical College, Mumbai.
5. Rockstar (St. Stephens, Delhi): Rockstar is one of the few Bollywood movies which gives true Delhi vibes, and credit for that goes to the North Campus shown in the movie. We all guessed it right that the initial few scenes of Rockstar were shot at the St. Stephen college in Delhi.
6. 2 states (IIM Ahmedabad): There is no denying the fact that IIM Ahmedabad has one of the most aesthetic infrastructures in the nation. You could say that the campus of IIM Ahmedabad is a huge reason Ananya and Krish's love story looked so enticing to us all!
7. Bodyguard (Symbiosis International University, Pune): There is just something about films that show us a glimpse of campus life. The Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer Bodyguard gave us a peek into Symbiosis International University's Lavale campus.
8. Rang De Basanti (Delhi University): The DU is a haven for Bollywood Films. With so many colleges as a part of the campus, many movies had the opportunity of using this university for their movie. Famous movies that were shot here are Rang De Basanti, Rockstar, Fukrey, and Band Baaja Baarat.
9. No One killed Jessica (Ip University): No One Killed Jessica, based on the true story of the Jessica Lal Murder case was shot at the Dwarka Campus of IP University, Delhi. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) trauma center was also used for a day shoot for one of the scenes in the movie.
10. Main Hoon Na (St. Pauls School): Remember the big campus where S.R.K. used to propose to Sushmita Sen or the grand climax where the fight concludes on the edge of the college building! Well, the location is a real institute as such. It’s St. Pauls School at Darjeeling
