Krrish 2's SHOCKING Secret Filming Location in Durg, India!
Krrish 2's SHOCKING Secret Filming Location in Durg, India!
Krrish 2's Secret Hideaway in Durg: More Than Meets the CGI Eye! (A Messy, Honest Review)
Alright, buckle up, cinephiles and armchair adventurers! Forget the soaring helicopters and Hrithik Roshan's CGI abs for a second. We're going deep into the heart of Chhattisgarh, specifically Durg, to uncover the alleged filming location of some scenes from Krrish 2. Now, I'm not gonna pretend I have inside intel on every single shot, but hey, a girl can dream (and research). So, here's my take, a messy, honest, and hopefully somewhat helpful review built around the supposed filming spot, and my own personal experiences of exploring it.
Accessibility & Getting There: The First Hurdle!
First things first: Getting to Durg is an adventure in itself. Let's be real, unless you're a seasoned traveler, this ain't a hop, skip, and a jump kind of destination. Forget direct flights from major hubs. It's likely a train journey or connecting flights into Raipur (which is a solid distance away) with a taxi or local transport to Durg. The accessibility itself? Depends. Wheelchair accessibility? I'd say research is crucial because I found it a mixed bag. The main attractions are okay but navigating some of the smaller lanes could be a challenge. Car park? Free and on-site is good but if you are going during peak seasons find someone to help you park.
On-site accessible restaurants/lounges: Again, research is your friend. I'll be upfront: this isn't the luxury, super-accessible experience you might find elsewhere. Things are developing. So, it might be a scramble to find the ideal place.
Internet Access and Wi-Fi. Prepare to be disconnected.
Okay, brace yourselves. Internet access in Durg is… patchy. Let's just say that. If you’re relying on solid Internet [LAN], forget about it. The Wi-Fi in public areas is a gamble. So, your Internet services are probably what you make them, you know? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? I wouldn't count on it (unless you get extremely lucky). My advice? Embrace the digital detox. The lack of connectivity might actually force you to experience things. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll have a richer experience. This is not a digital nomad paradise.
Things To Do, Ways to Relax… or Not?
Now, this is where things really get interesting. It is a slower pace of living in Durg compared to a larger metro city.
Spa/Sauna, Sauna, Steamroom, Body wrap, Body scrub, Massage, Spa… Oh My!
Look, if you’re expecting a world-class spa experience with all the bells and whistles… well, adjust your expectations. You might find a place offering basic massages or a local wellness center, but chances are you won't find anything similar to the spas in big hotels. I would not expect this as a main attraction.
Fitness Center, Gym/fitness.
These are available but very basic. If you are a gym-goer, this is not the place for you.
Pool with view, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor].
Now that’s funny. The idea of them being in the location is ludicrous. Even locals might be able to find these kinds of amenities
Cleanliness and Safety: A Mixed Bag, Honestly.
This is where I get a little… wary. Hygiene certification? Okay, not very common here. You have to be cautious about things, it’s not as sanitized and you have to approach it differently. Hand sanitizer and First aid kit are handy, but I wouldn’t necessarily rely on them. Daily disinfection in common areas is a plus, but again, assess carefully. Staff trained in safety protocol? Probably varies wildly. Anti-viral cleaning products? Who knows. So, do your due diligence, and pack your own extras. Rooms sanitized between stays? Check reviews and if you’re worried, ask the question. Room sanitization opt-out available? Unlikely. Sterilizing equipment? Doubtful. Safe dining setup? This is critical. Be wary of street food and restaurants. Cashless payment service? Available but not everywhere.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure!
Let’s talk food, shall we? This is always my favorite part. The options in Durg are a delicious blend of authentic local flavors and some modern influences.
Restaurants, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Asian breakfast, Vegetarian restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, A la carte in restaurant, Breakfast service, Breakfast [buffet], Buffet in restaurant, Soups, Salads, Desserts in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Bottle of water.
You will find these but you still have to be careful. You may find a great buffet, and there is a lot of asian food. If your stomach isn’t used to it, be conservative.
Room service [24-hour].
I wouldn't expect it to be available though some hotels can offer.
Poolside bar, Snack bar, Coffee shop, Bar, Happy hour… Unlikely
Alternative meal arrangement. Check with the hotel and see what they can do!
Services and Conveniences: Navigating the Practicalities
Ah, the little things that make life easier.
Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Ironing service, Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Elevator, Convenience store…
Some of these are available, but do your research. The elevator is usually available in bigger hotels but not always the smaller ones.
Facilities for disabled guests: Varies widely, so check.
Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Audio-visual equipment for special events… Check which facilities are available and book in advance.
Smoking area, Shrine. Probably.
For the kids…
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. I'm not sure i would bring a child there!
Access: A Mixed Bag of Wonders
CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Front desk [24-hour], Security [24-hour], Fire extinguisher, Check-in/out [express]
Available in certain hotels
Getting Around: The Transportation Tango
Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking, Bicycle parking…
Taxi service and Car park available but the others are unlikely.
Available in all rooms:
Alright, let's talk about what you might find in a room.
Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
Some of these will be available but not all!
The Krrish 2 Connection (and Where to Look, Maybe!)
Okay, here's where the speculation comes in. There are whispers of some scenic shots being filmed around the Bhilai Steel Plant area, which is near Durg . My suggestion would be to research it, but do not expect to be able to easily access any place where filming did take place. Some of the older buildings in the area might fit the bill. Be prepared for the possibility that you're chasing a phantom.
In Conclusion: Durg – A Journey, Not a Destination
Durg, and the potential Krrish 2 filming locations, isn't about luxury resorts or manicured perfection. It's about the experience. It's about the unscripted moments, the unexpected encounters, and the delicious food (prepared with caution!). It's about breathing in the authentic pulse of a place that doesn't cater to the tourist hordes.
So, if you're up for an adventure, a challenge, and a healthy dose of reality, go for it. Just pack your patience, your sense of humor, and maybe a really good book for those internet-free moments.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized travel blog. This is a raw, unfiltered descent into the belly of the beast that is… trying to experience the magic of "Krrish 2" filming locations in Durg, India. And let me tell you, it was a ride. A dusty, bumpy, mosquito-filled ride.
Day 1: Arrival - Expectations vs. Reality (Mostly Reality Crushing Expectations)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Landed in Raipur. Raipur! The actual airport was… well, let's just say the air conditioning was having a "personal day" and skipped. I’m picturing the majestic mountains the movie was filmed, it turns out its only a plain land. Hopes high, dreams of Hrithik Roshan selfies dancing in my head.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Taxi to Durg. The cab driver, a charming fellow named Raj, kept regaling me with stories about Bollywood, while I was busy praying the road wouldn’t swallow us whole. I swear, the potholes in these roads are like tiny, angry craters.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Checked into the hotel. Let's just say the "luxury suite" was more "basic budget inn with a questionable stain on the carpet." The only thing luxurious about it was the price. Still, the AC worked (thank the gods!) and I needed a refuge. Immediately crashed.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Lunch. Decided to be brave and try some street food. Found a tiny stall serving pav bhaji. Holy moly, that was amazing. So much vibrant flavour that it blew all the dust out of my nose. Seriously though, the spices were incredible. I would return for it again, 100 percent.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Armed with a tattered map and a desperate desire to find something Krrish-y, I ventured out. My first aim was supposedly the training facility where Krrish spent his training. The road was a maze, and the map was apparently drawn by a blindfolded child. After an hour of wandering, I had to ask a kindly old man, who, bless his heart, started pointing me in the opposite direction as though he was giving a direction to a treasure map.
- Afternoon (4:30 PM): Finally found the area where some shooting happened. There was a single, forlorn-looking water tank. No, I didn't realize it was an actual tank, which was so ordinary and not in the movie, I went straight back. The location was dusty, underwhelming. The only 'superpowers' I was acquiring was the ability to withstand scorching sun and the incessant buzzing of mosquitoes.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a decent restaurant. My stomach did a happy dance at not having to decide to fight off another pav bhaji. I’m starting to feeling the travel blues already. The hotel TV showed a Bollywood movie. It was awful. I cried, both because of the movie and because I was starting to realize this trip was a bust.
Day 2: The Search Continues (With Diminishing Enthusiasm)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Wake up. The stain on the carpet seems to have, somehow, multiplied overnight. Decided to skip breakfast as I couldn't seem to stomach anything at that point.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Another attempt to find a filming location. This time, armed with even less faith in the map I managed to track down an area supposedly used for some scenes. It was a building that looked like it was about to fall over. No superheroes in sight. I actually started to consider the value of this whole trip.
- Morning (11:00 AM): Wandered around the local market. It was vibrant and chaotic. Found some spices and the most gaudy, amazing, bedazzled sandals I’ve ever seen. The vendors were absolutely incredible. I probably bought 5 things I didn't need, but the energy was infectious.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch. Another pav bhaji (yes, I'm addicted). This time, however, there was a rogue fly. It was a battle of wills! The fly lost. I almost lost my appetite.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Visited a local temple. A beautiful, serene place. I felt a smidge of peace, away from the dust and disappointment that surrounded me.
- Afternoon (3:30 PM): Back to the hotel. Sulking.
- Evening (7:00 PM): The hotel entertainment had been replaced by a local band. They were actually pretty great. They played Bollywood soundtracks. I was starting to get into the spirit of things, even though I still hadn't found a single remotely interesting filming location.
- Evening (10:00 PM): Passed out from exhaustion.
Day 3: Embracing The Absurdity (And Getting Ready to Leave)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Ordered a very late breakfast. The stain on the carpet looked like it had grown to the size of a small pond. Found a cockroach scuttling under the bed. I think it was judging me, considering all my failings on the trip.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Decided to double down on my initial observations. I went straight to the market. The vendors were welcoming me like a returning war hero from a distant galaxy. I spent hours chatting with a vendor about his family. He was a storyteller. Even though I couldn’t understand most of his Hindi, I got his stories. I felt more connected to this place than I ever imagined.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Had a serious conversation with the hotel manager about those gaudy slippers. It was a true turning point in my life. He laughed and offered me a deal. This was the real 'magic' of the trip.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): I attempted, one last time, to find a filming location (or anything Krrish-related). I was directed to the wrong mountain. I found a cow. I gave up.
- Afternoon (5:00 PM): Packed. Feeling a strange mix of disappointment and… acceptance? Maybe the "Krrish magic" wasn't about finding the right locations. Maybe it was about finding something else.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Final pav bhaji. One last, glorious, spicy farewell.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Headed to the airport. The airport didn't magically improve. The air conditioning was still MIA.
Final Thoughts:
So, did I find Krrish's secret training grounds? No. Did I experience the glamour of Bollywood? Nope. Did I get ripped off and find a cockroach? Maybe. But guess what? I did:
- I met some incredibly kind people.
- I enjoyed some of the best food I've ever eaten.
- I survived.
- I learned that sometimes, the real adventures aren't about the grand, epic spectacles, but the small, messy, and often dusty moments.
So, yeah, Durg wasn't exactly the superhero wonderland I'd envisioned. But it was a trip. And sometimes, that's all you need. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to track down a pav bhaji recipe and get some beauty sleep. Until next time… (probably not in Durg, though.)
Escape to Paradise: Your Cikarang Studio Oasis Awaits!Wait, Krrish 2 Filmed in Durg?! I Didn't Even Know Durg *Existed*!
Okay, deep breaths. Yes, that's right. Krrish 2, that epic superhero saga, had... some scenes... filmed in Durg, India. And honestly? I had to Google it too. It's in Chhattisgarh. Apparently, they were looking for something... unique. And Durg, bless its heart, provided. I mean, *who* would have guessed? This felt like the biggest movie secret since they hid the Death Star plans! It's like they just threw a dart at a map of India, closed their eyes, yelled "ACTION!" and *bam*... Durg!
So, What *Exactly* Was Filmed in Durg? Be Specific! We Need Details!
Okay. Brace yourselves folks. From what I've gathered (and trust me, the information is... sparse), they filmed some scenes involving... Wait for it... industrial areas. Yawn, I know. Think factories, maybe some sort of warehouse scene? Maybe even a scene where Rohit Mehra's super-powered son, Krish, rescues some kittens from a malfunctioning conveyor belt? (Okay, maybe not the kittens, but you get the *idea*). Apparently they were seeking an environment that was grim, utilitarian, and... well, Durg delivered. Though it's hard to say exactly *which* industrial zones, and how much of the movie actually ended up featuring it. The internet seems to have a serious case of "Krrish 2 in Durg, but also no photos."
Was It Easy to Find the Filming Locations? Did They Put Up Signs?
Easy? Honey, if it *was* easy, this wouldn't be a conspiracy theory masquerading as an FAQ. I'm picturing it: "Krrish 2 Filming Location - Follow this barely-there, dust-covered pathway through the heart of the most polluted industrial zone you've ever seen!" I'm guessing no, no signs. Perhaps they wanted to keep it secret? Or maybe they just didn't anticipate that anyone would *care*. Finding specific locations feels like trying to find a specific grain of sand on a beach. A beach of very smoky, industrial sand. Good luck with that!
Did Anyone Actually *See* the Filming? Any Anecdotes? I Need the Juicy Gossip!
RIGHT?! This is what I was hoping for! After trawling through countless forums and obscure blogs, I found... a few whispers. One person claimed their uncle, who worked at a local factory, saw Hrithik Roshan himself! He said Hrithik was surprisingly down-to-earth and even signed an autograph. (I'm picturing him surrounded by sooty chimneys and disgruntled factory workers, and it's hilarious). Another person mentioned a "massive logistics nightmare" and delays due to the local infrastructure's... *limitations*. Let's just say, Durg probably wasn't equipped for a Bollywood blockbuster. And then, of course, there's the inevitable Facebook comment from someone who claims, "I saw them eating lunch! Butter chicken! Ate at a local dhaba. It was delicious." (Okay, I'm jealous. That *does* sound delicious).
Were there any major hiccups or issues?
Oh, you know it! "Hiccups" is putting it mildly. Imagine trying to get a giant robot, or whatever weird CGI they used, through the narrow, dusty streets of Durg. I bet there were logistical nightmares galore. Imagine the power outages, the language barriers, the sheer, unadulterated *surprise* on the faces of the locals! I can practically see the behind-the-scenes documentary now, with the stressed-out director screaming into a translator while someone tries to explain "green screen" to a bewildered group of extras. It's probably a comedy goldmine. I'd pay to see *that* movie.
Why Durg?! Why Not Mumbai? Or Delhi? It Doesn't Make Sense!
That, my friend, is the million-dollar question! My guess? Budget constraints. Location scouting went on the cheap. Maybe they wanted an "authentic" industrial look that Mumbai couldn't provide. Or, and this is a *wild* theory, maybe they were trying to hide something. Maybe Durg is secretly a portal to another dimension… a dimension that just *happens* to have a lot of smokestacks. Okay, I'm probably getting carried away. But seriously, Durg? It's the ultimate underdog location. They were thinking *outside* the box, and ended up in a box... a gritty, industrial box.
How Did This Affect the Movie? Did it Improve or Detract?
Honestly? I have no idea if it made any difference, other than possibly making the film *slightly* more interesting in the history books! The visuals, from what I recall between the CGI extravaganza, were probably meant to depict something... futuristic. It's hard to say if the Durg aesthetic enhanced or detracted from that. I'm leaning towards "it probably didn't matter that much" unless you *really* squinted and said, "Wow, those smokestacks really add to the superhero drama!" Maybe it gave it a certain... *rawness*? I'm grasping at straws here.
Did Anyone From Durg Become a Star? Did It Boost Tourism?! (Probably Not, Right?)
Haha! Boost tourism? That's a good one! Let's be honest, Durg probably didn't suddenly become a hotbed of superhero-related tourism. Though, I secretly hope someone sells "Krrish 2 - Filmed in Durg" t-shirts! I haven't seen any reports of local Durg residents landing major roles. Sadly, the legacy of Krrish 2 in Durg is probably limited to a few dusty memories and a slightly expanded Wikipedia entry. But hey, maybe *someday* a plaque will be put up that reads: "Here, Krrish 2 once filmed... probably."
So, Is It Worth Going to Durg to See the Filming Locations Now?
Okay, let's be real. Unless you're a *super* dedicated Krrish 2 fanatic, or have an unhealthy obsession with industrial zonesValmontone's Hidden Gem: Hotel Fashion's Chic Escape (Italy)
