Midnight Children is a story that mainly talks about India’s transition from British colonialism to independence and the partition of British India. Due to controversy it couldn’t be shot in India. In the year 2012 filmmaker Deepa Mehta turned this novel into a movie and Colombo played a major role in the movie as it replicated the Post-colonial Bombay of the time.

Sri Lanka was the country that mimicked the ancient city of Varanasi wherein the plight of the widows of Varanasi was showcased .Due to local protest Deepa Mehta made a move into the island nation of Sri Lanka cinematographer Giles Nuttgens lovingly captured the beauty of a nation that few had seen at the time.

The movie as the name was recreated somewhere around Colombo it is said that an entire mini city set of 1960s Bombay was shot and it was Anurag Kashyap most iconic movie set yet. The Filming was also done in Colombo, Galle, and Pasikudah . The film really transported the audiences back in time.

A horror thriller shot in the forest of Sigriya. The movie was set in India but it was shot in the least explored areas of Srigriya. Till date Sigriya remains the hidden gem to date

Salman khan’s Ready was shot in Sri Lanka. Along with Deepa Mehta’s Water. The uncanny resemblance to Indian settings have been the main reason for these movies to be shot in Sri Lanka.
