In the Indian Context, many Bollywood Movies use historic locations for shooting. By watching
movies, it’s very easy to understand the Scale and proportions of the structure shown in the movie.
Many Locations are not visited in their whole life, and by looking at the pictures our concepts
about the structure and its physical properties are not clear. But watching a movie we can study
the whole structure within a few minutes which can help anyone with the structure.
MONUMENTS AND MOVIES
Historical Monuments play an important role in studying and learning architecture, many students use
books and the internet for knowing more about the structure and its importance, but many of us fail to
study past and present scenarios of and in around structure.
A structure like from the Indus Valley civilization till Indo Islamic architecture can be seen and many of
us can have an idea about the physical properties of the structure. Many movies have used the historical
reference of the monuments for depicting a historical and fictional story. Many students and architects
will always be able to relate it to architectural learning.
Not only historical but also many movies depict pre-post-independence and present buildings campus
etc. which are always beneficial to the students, architects, and faculties to explain, relate and teach
anyone with the physical parameters.
