Dabangg (2010)

This was the start of famous Indian actor Salman Khan’s trailblazing career of record-breaking movies, all of which raked in over $10 M A picture of the couple standing in the desert taking a selfie with a falcon on Salman’s hand, donning traditional headgear, was reason enough to entice tourists from India to pop over to Dubai for a visit and post Insta shots inspired by the famous sequence. The Burjuman Metro station and some parts of Emirates Palace Hotels were also used as filming locations.

Hindi cinema, often known as Bollywood and formerly as Bombay cinema, is the Indian Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai. The term is a portmanteau of "Bombay" and "Hollywood".
