Indian Railways in Bollywood - Trains in Movies
Indian Railways is steaming bollywood producers and directors by charging them more from now on. The Railway board decided this just before their 11th plan meeting. Film producers and directors are not very happy with this new development and have objected to the ten-fold increase in the charges. This decision, taken by the Railway Board, was implemented from yesterday.
The Indian Railway authorities finally have become serious about earning profits as they have hiked the charges for film shootings on railway stations and on other railway premises and properties.
Trains are always an integral part of Hindi movies and producers and directors know that people here can relate things very easily. They are not very happy with the decision. Songs and scenes from so many Hindi movies were featured on moving trains and on Railway platforms.
