At this very moment, someone is shooting a film in New Haven Union Station.

There's a fairly elaborate, professional-looking setup taking up much of the ticketing hall. Cast, crew, and spectators look South Asian; whether this means it's a Bollywood production or if it's something else entirely I don't know. I couldn't stay long enough to find out, as I'm leaving New Haven for Boston very soon to stay ahead of the snowstorm.

Anyway, if any of my car-enabled friends in New Haven want to go check it out and want to post what they learn about it, I'd be interested in reading it.

Isn't Shah Rukh currently filming in New York and environs? It wouldn't surprise me if it were a Bollywood effort. Yash Chopra spares no expense!

Makes sense to me; New Haven Union Station has been beautifully restored. They seemed to be taking full advantage of that. One shot looked to be set in front of the early 20th-century ticket windows.

Now I'm hoping to find out what film it ends up in.

Not Yash Chopra but Karan Johar filming: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, a multi-starrer with all the big names. They'll be in the New York area until Dec. 10, according to Shah Rukh Khan's Calendar, and were advertising for extras via Craigslist.

I'm jealous. I wish I lived nearer. Someday a big Bollywood production will come to the S.F. bay, and I will be there.
