Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra State, situated on India's west coast. Having achieved remarkable economic success, Mumbai is the hub for financial activity in India and home to institutions of finance such as the Reserve Bank of India, Bombay Stock Exchange Bank, and several MNCs. The population of Bombay is 23 million, making it India's largest city. It is also the second most significant urban area globally and the seventh most populous city. Mumbai, a bustling City, has succeeded in capturing the flavor of its lively environment in machines on roads, at the iconic Gateway of India, and along Marine Drive--colloquially known to Mumbaikars as "the Queen's Necklace." Unthinkable for Mumbai is existence without local trains: they are the city's arteries; they call to people fleeing in terror of what they have done. With an appeal that makes one reluctant to leave, Mumbai covers every aspect of life, from dreams and aspirations to the culture and values handed down to us by generations. Mumbai's historic sites, such as the Gateway of India and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CST), reflect its brilliant past and architectural heritage. Everyone, from tourists to those in the industry, goes on Bollywood tours—not just artists but film workers at all levels. This way, one can appreciate how films are made and what makes each person contribute to any successful movie—or flop if they need to do their jobs right! Mumbai's slums and wealthy areas reach high into the sky, with no room for color.
