Bollywood - one of the attractions of Mumbai

Bollywood is the sobriquet of the Hindi language film industry, based in Mumbai, India. The term is often incorrectly used as synecdoche to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; however, it is only a part of the large Indian film industry, which includes other production centres producing films in multiple languages.

Bollywood is one of the largest film producers in India and one of the largest centres of film production in the world. It is more formally referred to as Hindi Film cinema.

a unique city - Mumbai


 

a unique city - Mumbai

Hi...

I have started this blog for the "Unique Mumbai" because there is no place like Mumbai in the world ! 

The reason I say this is because Mumbai has different colors and shades of life. You can see rich, wealthy people and also middle class and poor people. There are malls, multiplexes and also small shops and single theatres. There are high towers and small huts. There is posh metro train above the crowded and traffic jammed roads as well as the life line of Mumbai i.e. local trains. There are AC buses as well as the old typical red colored buses. The list seems endless ! In short there is a huge contrast in the city. You cannot find such a unique city in the world.

Unique City


Mumbai means different for different people. For some it is heaven and for some it is hell. It depends on the experience you have with the city. Sometimes the city proves lucky for some and sometimes some people have to make the city lucky for themselves.

Unique City


Except for few almost all the people in this city have to work hard to earn their living. Mumbai has insomnia i.e. it never feels sleepy or never sleeps. i would like to know what was your experience with Mumbai, whether it made you crorepati or roadpati in terms of money, success, relationships, education, friendships, experience etc. 


happy reading !
