Locations in India

The 120 most notable are above. Every place in India, A to Z, with how many productions each carries:

Set in India, not filmed there

1 more place in India appears on this atlas because a game, an anime or a manga is SET there. Nothing was filmed at it: a drawn or rendered work is filmed nowhere, and some of these places are invented and pinned on what Wikidata says they are based on.

Also shot in India, without a precise location

Wikidata records 26 more productions as shot in India while naming only the country or the state: true, and too coarse to pin, so they are named here rather than dropped or guessed at.

Also named as shot in India by their Wikipedia articles

36 productions name India in their Wikipedia articles as where they were shot, without a place inside it, so they are listed here rather than pinned or dropped.

Productions filmed in India

2,061 more productions are listed on the pages of the places above.
