Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is a megalopolis of dramatic
diversity and heartbreaking extremes, with wealthy areas located
just steps away from the searing poverty of its huge slums. The
home of Bollywood, Mumbai is also the epicenter of India's film
industry and its foremost film location. Through the lens of
Mumbai's manifold cinematic representations, "World Film Locations:
Mumbai "explores the sheer complexity of this incomparable city.
This volume comprises insightful essays and beautifully illustrated
scene analyses by leading scholars and film critics who explore the
ways filmmakers from India and abroad have represented Mumbai's
astonishing urban and human landscape. Taken together, these
contributions show how movies have created in the imaginations of
billions of spectators the vivid image of a city that constantly
tempts people to escape their dreary existence and offers them
chances to fulfill their dreams. The first book to focus on
cinematic representations of what is perhaps the world's
most-filmed city, "World Film Locations: Mumbai" will be necessary
reading for scholars and film buffs alike.
