India is second most populous country and the most populous democracy in the world. The great diversity in its culture, language and religion makes India one of the most loved locations for shooting and not just Indian filmmakers but filmmakers from all over the world find it exciting for shoot. Below are some of the international movies that were partly/wholly shot in India-

Beyond beautiful and historical locations and diverse population there are various factors that attract filmmakers from all over the world to come and shoot in India. Some of the main factors that will influence you as a filmmaker for the shoot of your next movie are-
Cost of Production
Shooting your next film in India can help you save a lot on your shooting budget as the skilled labor and technicians are available at very low cost. Even at the cheap rates, the production output is great as they are highly trained and talented. So, filming here won’t dig a hole in your pocket.
Limited Language Barrier
It becomes very difficult for the international crew to work with people who speak different language. However, English is widely spoken in most parts of India and the production will obviously be much easier when the communication is smooth. If you shoot your film in India, then language would not be a much of problem with crew.
Diversity in Location
In India you can find almost any location that you can think of- dessert, beaches, village, forts, hills, forests and what not. You do not need to waste efforts in travelling to different countries to shoot at your desired location as shooting in a country which has all the locations demanded by your script can save your time, efforts and money.
Production Infrastructure
It’s not always the natural habitat you require for shoot but studios, green screen, designed set, etc. as well. India offers a variety of world class infrastructure for indoor shoots as well.
Best for documentaries
Although locations in India are suitable for any kind of movie- romance, thriller, biopic, etc. but the history, cultures, monuments and many other aspects makes it highly sought after country for documentaries. So, if you are a documentary filmmaker, you can find a plethora of subjects to research and make your film.
