The wildest ride at your beloved theme park, Imagicaa, wasn’t the Nitro—it was the business itself. 🎢

For those of us in Mumbai and Pune, Imagicaa is where the memories are. But while we were enjoying the loops, the team was navigating a real-life roller coaster to keep the park running.

Join Dhimant Bakshi (CEO) and Mayuresh Kore (CFO) for this fun journey. They tell the story of turning around Imagicaa in a way that is just as thrilling as the rides themselves.

Get the inside scoop before your next trip to the park!

@loveofcinemasf8 @mehtahansal Another lovely conversation Himanshu! One song from DPMLY that wasn't discussed was Swagatam - I've always thought it is one of the finest odes to Mumbai - both the promise & the struggles it holds for those who come to her. Would have loved to know Hansal's take on it.

The two of you were wondering where Mili's house was located? It was shot at a place in Santacruz West, near the Podar school. A multi-storey apartment building stands there now.
