Guided Bus Tour Through Ramoji Film City’s Enchanting Sets
We have divided the Ramoji Film City tour into two parts to ensure a comprehensive exploration. This installment serves as a seamless continuation of our previous post. Post – Ramoji Film City: Unveiling the Magic of the Cinematic World – 1.
Movie Magic
In Ramoji Film City Movie Magic, we can see shows like Filmi Duniya, Action Theatre, Space Yatra, Light, Camera, Action, and Stunt Show. There are also a few more shows with additional charges. You can check the show times on the leaflet because these will run at specific times.
Delve into the filmmaking process at the Action Theatre. It is a captivating space where the RFC team breaks down the magic into three immersive parts. With an audience member as the protagonist for each segment, you’ll grasp the intricate interplay of real-time recordings, sound effects, and more that brings movies to life. Embark for an exciting immersion into the world of cinema.
Although time constraints prevented us from attending shows like Space Yatra and Filmi Duniya, our day reached its climax with the Wild West Stunt Show. After gaining an understanding of the filmmaking process, witnessing live-action brought a new level of thrill. Further, Fundustan provides tailored shows for children and the young at heart, resulting in a fun-filled experience.
Eureka Complex
Play Arena
Get set for some playtime fun at the Eureka premise! You will find an array of play zones with a mix of both free and paid rides. Enjoy a few complimentary rides included with your ticket, like the carousel, break dance, super jet, frisbee, and ranger. Keep in mind that some rides require a minimum participant count, so they might wait for more participants to join in the fun.
Closing Ceremony
The grand finale awaits as the closing ceremony commences at 5.30 pm, featuring a lively dance show by the RFC team. With the stage set and chairs in place, we’re treated to a delightful performance. The Eureka zone transforms into a fair-like ambiance with play areas, stage shows, and food counters. This closing show wraps up our day at RFC on a high note. When it’s time to head back, buses to the main gate are readily available, offering a comfortable ride just like when we arrived at the Ramoji Film City gate.
How To Reach Ramoji Film City
Travel Tips To Visit Ramoji Film City
- The Ramoji Film City is open from 9 am to 5.30 pm. It will take around an hour to get there because it is located on the outskirts of Hyderabad. So leave early and try to reach RFC by 8.30 am to be at the Eureka complex before it opens at 9.30 am. In this way, you will be able to witness the grand welcome ceremony.
- RFC buses are also available from various central locations in Hyderabad, but it is best to confirm your reservation by calling the RFC toll-free number. We only confirmed its availability with locals and the tour operator and waited nearly half an hour past the scheduled time, but the bus service was unavailable that day. So I recommend you to confirm first if you want to take the bus service to avoid the hold-up. This air-conditioned bus costs 300 rupees in both directions.
- It is best to take a cab from Hyderabad to Ramoji Film City in the morning to arrive early. When returning, you can take a taxi or take public transportation as cab booking can be problematic in the evening, and the auto and cab charges in the complex are high. Besides, you will get many buses from the main gate to the city bus stop in Hyderabad. You can select whichever option best suits your needs.
- It is best to visit during the winter when the weather is cooler, as Hyderabad is extremely hot during the summer.
Facilities and Amenities at Ramoji Film City
- Parking is available at the main entrance.
- A guide map of the location will be available near the booking counter, and I recommend that you choose to create a checklist and plan the order in which you will visit the location.

- The premises include an ATM, first aid, helpdesk, baby feeding rooms, lockers, paid parking, cloakrooms, and merchandise shops. Drinking water is also available at all locations.
