It is time to post another really popular location, though we have to admit we just couldn’t come up with more than 2 movies that were shot at this location. Though there are many movies out there that were shot at this location, we are sure no other song was shot exclusively at this location than the ‘Kaadhal Kavidhaigal’ song from the movie ‘Gopura Vaasalile’. Check it out for yourself and do let us know more such movies even if the location is featured for a few seconds.

About the location (from Wiki):
The Gateway of India is a monument in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. Located on the waterfront in Apollo Bunder area in South Mumbai, the Gateway is a basalt arch 26 meters (85 ft) high. It was a crude jetty used by fisher folks and was later renovated and used as a landing place for British governors and other distinguished personages. In earlier times, the Gateway was the monument that visitors arriving by boat would have first seen in the city of Bombay. Its design is a combination of both Hindu and Muslim architectural styles, the arch is in Muslim style while the decorations are in Hindu style. The Gateway is built from yellow basalt and reinforced concrete. The stone was locally obtained, and the perforated screens were brought from Gwalior.

The central dome is 15 meters (49 ft) in diameter and is 26 meters (85 ft) above ground at its highest point. The whole harbor front was realigned in order to come in line with a planned esplanade which would sweep down to the center of the town. The cost of the construction was Rs. 21 lakhs, borne mainly by the Government of India. For lack of funds, the approach road was never built, and so the Gateway stands at an angle to the road leading up to it.
