Mumbai, the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra, is a brilliant paradox of chaos and hope, glamor and filth, modernity and tradition. Known as the City of Dreams, Mumbai – formerly known as Bombay – is a beautifully eclectic mix of cultures and lifestyles.
This city absorbs everything into its fabric and makes it its own. From budding actors struggling to make it big on the silver screen; From boli superstars to big industrialists to tribes of fishermen and slum dwellers, Mumbai is a city that prides itself on stories from different walks of human existence.
One of the country's major centers of art, culture, music, dance and theatre, Mumbai is a dynamic, cosmopolitan city that has run over the years entirely on the indomitable spirit of Mumbaikars.
