Liberty Cinema is an Art Deco 1200 seater single screen Movie theatre in Mumbai, India. Since the cinema was built in 1947, the year of Indian Independence, its founder Habib Hoosein decided to name it "Liberty". Liberty screens Bollywood Hindi movies. David Vinnels and Brent Skelly describe Liberty Cinema as "an exquisite jewel box of rococo decoration enhanced by a coloured lighting scheme suggesting a fairyland far away from the bustle and tumult in the streets outside" in their book Bollywood Showplaces: Cinema Theatres in India. On the fifth floor of the Liberty Cinema building there is a small 30 seater hall, Liberty Mini. Decorated with art from the pre-independence period, it is used for press previews and private screenings. Liberty has been the location of movie premiers of several movies, such as Mughal-e-Azam.

Queen's Necklace
A 3.6-km-long C-shaped promenade along the coast of a natural bay. The six-lane road connects Nariman Point on the south to Girgaon Chowpatty on the north. It is popularly known as the Queen's Necklace, because when viewed during the night, preferably from an elevated spot, the lights on the road resemble the string of pearls in a necklace. There are walkways and benches along the bay and is a favourite hunt for both tourists and locals. During weekend evenings the place gets very crowded. It is also the venue for several well-known events including the Mumbai Marathon and Indian Air Force (IAF) air show. Be careful and avoid this area during heavy rains.
A large open place in South Mumbai. An old stone cross (crucifix) was built in the ground during Portuguese rule in the 16th century, hence the name. The ground is used for cricket in the dry season and association football during the monsoons. Near the southern end, the Mahindra United Club, a national-level club, has undertaken a lease of a small portion of the ground.
