Jaipur is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 10 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

1 production was filmed at 4 places inside Jaipur rather than at Jaipur itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“Jaipur is the setting for the film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and its sequel, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which follow the adventures of a group of senior European immigrants who retire to Jaipur and in the process discover their true selves.”
