Madh Island

Madh Island (Marathi pronunciation: [məɖʱ]) is a group of several quaint fishing villages and farmlands in northern Mumbai.

The road from Madh to Malad is often in poor condition, particularly during the monsoon season, and traffic congestion is exacerbated by the popularity of Aksa Beach, which attracts many locals.

However, the project for a sealink between Versova and Madh Island has been ongoing for the past 10 years, with tenders being floated multiple times but never awarded.

In Madh village, you’ll find basic amenities such as shops for groceries, confectionery, stationery, vehicle repair, and dairy products.

[2] It is secluded and difficult to reach, about 15 kilometres (9 mi) from Malad and is the last stop on Route 271 of BEST bus service or via Versova by ferry boat.

Bus Number 269 departs from Borivali and reaches its final stop at Madh Jetty, passing Harba Devi Mandir along the way.

However, this fish drying process halts during the monsoon season due to the heavy rains, resulting in a much more pleasant environment for visitors.

Some Bollywood films like Deewana, Singham Again, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Love Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega, Baazigar, Shootout at Wadala, and Manmohan Desai's 1985 film Mard, Zamana Deewana, Khalnayak, Shatranj and Tarazu, Game Paisa Ladki were shot at this location.
