Bollywood Location Shooting & ‘Screen Diplomacy’
宝莱坞取景与“银幕外交”
The 2000 Bollywood film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai was filmed in Queenstown, the first Hindi film shot on a large scale in New Zealand; estimated at over 500 million viewers in India, it directly drove a marked rise in Indian visitor numbers to New Zealand in 2001–2002.
2000年宝莱坞电影《Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai》在皇后镇取景,是首部大规模在新西兰拍摄的印地语电影,印度国内观影人次估计逾5亿,直接带动2001至2002年间印度赴新游客量显著上升。
Producer Rakesh Roshan received a certificate of thanks from then-Prime Minister Helen Clark in 2004; the film's 25th anniversary in 2025 brought choreographer Farah Khan to New Zealand for commemorative events, and the first ‘Indian Film Festival of New Zealand’ is being planned for 2026.
制片人拉凯什·罗申2004年获时任总理海伦·克拉克颁发感谢证书;2025年适逢该片25周年,编舞家法拉·汗访新出席纪念活动,双方正筹备2026年首届新西兰印度电影节。
