Mumbai
A city of dreams, Bollywood & cricket
Mumbai, formerly a territory of seven fishing islands, today a sprawling, bustling metropolitan is undeniably one of India’s most dynamic and riotous cities. The ‘city of dreams’ is a home for people from different walks of life, a veritable potpourri of economies, lifestyles, cultures, faiths and identities. The pop culture worldwide has Mumbai to thank for all the Bollywood paraphernalia in the media – India’s own film industry, and movies like Slumdog Millionaire and Shantaram offer a glimpse into the workings of this chaotic city and of the industrious people pursuing their varied livelihoods.
