A very nice museum depicting the history of Indian cinema. Keep 2-3 hrs in hand as there is lot to see and explore. They even screen a movie for visitors. Ticket is decently priced at Rs 75 for adults and Rs 40 for kids. Must visit if you are in Mumbai
I visited this place at 05:37 PM in the evening but was denied entry since it was almost closing time 06:00 PM. Next day I reached around 03:00 PM. Telling this because even 3 hours wouldn't last long as you keep exploring this place. The ticket price has been revised to Rs. 75 as contrary to Rs. 20 written on web.
Inside the museum, there are two buildings - the old one and new one. First you go to the old one where you'll witness how cinema was born and how it evolved. I cannot put into words the details of global and national cinema that you'll find here. There are antique instruments in form of audio and visual devices, detailed notes on various evolutions of cinema, photos from the past, etc. I'll leave it here in case of the old building. As for the new one, it has got some really cool tech for you to understand filmmaking on a deeper level like doing your makeup, animations, vfx, sound mixing, etc which is really fun. Just like the old building, you'll find here many historical figures who contributed to the Cinema, antique sound and visual devices.

A one of its kind museum located inside the Films Division complex in Cumballa Hill. It is India's first cinema museum. Inaugurated in 2019, this museum is under the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India. It is housed in two buildings, the heritage Gulshan Mahal and the New Museum Building. This museum showcases history of Indian cinema through recordings, memorabilia, cameras, equipment etc. It is visited by locals and foreign tourists. The entrance fees are Rs. 75 per Indian adult, Rs. 40 per Indian child, Rs. 500 per foreign adult and Rs. 250 per foreign child. This museum is open from 11 am to 6 pm from Tuesday to Sunday. It is closed on Mondays and Public Holidays. Photography is allowed. Videography is not allowed. Had roamed inside the both the buildings and got a glimpse of the history & modernization of Indian Cinema. This museum is an ideal place for families, children as well as film enthusiasts. It is a must visit and should not be missed.
Absolutely must go! It is well created and very thorough. Love every second of it, esp the interactive parts (with machines not people:)
You can sit outside and have a little snack, enjoy the trees and breeze.
We bought tickets at the counter, no rush. Two adults 150rupees total.
Rate: 10/10.
If you're a movie/cinema/theater lover like me.. Go Go Go!

A must visit for those who have a passionate interest in film making and love for Indian cinema. This place at peddar road houses everything related to film making right from the time the first camera ever made to today's technology. It's quite a big museum and you can easily take 3-4 hours to visit the whole thing in detail. A lot of interactive sections too which takes the whole experience to the next level.
The National Museum of Indian Cinema is a captivating journey through the evolution of Indian cinema. From vintage equipment to iconic films, it offers a comprehensive and engaging experience for film enthusiasts, showcasing the rich history and cultural impact of Bollywood. A must-visit for those interested in India's cinematic heritage. This museum consists of two buildings one old and other new. The old one is a two storey building while the new building has four floors and one basement full of historical cinematography instruments, stories and many more things to explore. One would take around at least 3 hours to fully explore the museum.
Had a fantastic time at the National Museum of Indian Cinema, and I wanted to share my experience. The journey started off smoothly with convenient paid parking available for just 75/- Rs, making it easy for me to begin my visit.
Once inside, I felt like I stepped into a cinematic wonderland. The exhibits, artifacts, and memorabilia took me on a captivating journey through the history of Indian cinema. It was amazing to see how this art form has evolved over the years.
What I found really cool was the interactive displays that explained the ins and outs of filmmaking. It gave me a better understanding of the hard work and creativity that goes into making the movies we enjoy.
The museum did a great job of putting Indian cinema in context with its historical and cultural significance. It made me realize the profound impact movies have on Indian society, and I left with a newfound appreciation for this art form.
My only disappointment was that I couldn't spend more time there. There's so much to see and learn, and I'm excited to go back for a longer visit, maybe around 5 hours, to explore everything the museum has to offer.
In summary, the National Museum of Indian Cinema is a wonderful experience for both movie enthusiasts and anyone who loves culture. I'm glad I went, and I'm looking forward to returning for a more in-depth exploration of the fascinating world of Indian cinema.
