Both feature cinematic collaborations.

Both come with thrilling roller-coasters and kid-friendly rides.

And both have only just opened their doors.

You can wander recreations of the streets of Mumbai or visit rural India, then relax with the region's first Broadway-style Bollywood musical.

One simulator ride lets you join a game of cricket against the British Raj, while another sends you soaring over India to battle an alien invasion.

When you're done exploring, there's the opportunity to grab a rustic Punjabi curry or Tamil delicacy at one of many themed restaurants.

Tickets to Bollywood Parks Dubai cost $78 for adults and $67 for children.
