#FortBassein, also known as the #VasaiFort or Corte de Baçaim meaning "Court of Bassein" in Indo-Portuguese creole, वसई चा किल्ला in Maharashtrian Konkani, is a ruined fort in the town of #Vasai (#Bassein) in the #Palghar district of #Konkan division in #Maharashtra, India. The fort is also a popular shooting location for Bollywood movies and songs. The Bollywood hit ″Kambakkht Ishq″ from Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, Poster Lagwa Do from Luka Chuppi are bollywood songs short at the fort. Movies such as Josh, starring Shah Rukh Khan, and Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega have a number of scenes from the fort. Other films shot here include Khamoshi and Ram Gopal Verma's Aag. The fort was also one of the shooting locations for the international hit song 'Hymn for the Weekend' by British band Coldplay. The fort showcased at the start and in between is the Vasai Fort. The video features Beyoncé and Indian actress Sonam Kapoor. The video has over 960 million views on YouTube as of July 2018, becoming the second most-viewed music video for Coldplay (after "Something Just like This"). The Archaeological Survey of India has started restoration work of the fort, although the quality of the work has been severely criticised by "conservation activists".
