Mandwa is a village in Raigad district, Maharashtra, India. It is popular as a weekend beach destination from Mumbai city, mainly because of the direct Ferry services available near Mandwa Beach to and from Mumbai.[1]
In movies, Mandwa has been popularized by Amitabh and Hrithik's Agneepath series respectively.[2]
