How to travel in Mumbai via auto rickshaw, train and bus. Great insight into traveling in Mumbai.

The video is for people who have either recently shifted to Mumbai or have visited as a part of their travel plan. We give small yet very useful tips for people unaware of how Mumbai functions.
Mumbai, a cosmopolitan metropolis, earlier known as Bombay, is the largest city in India and the capital of Maharashtra state. Mumbai was originally a conglomeration of seven islands on the Konkan coastline which over time were joined to form the island city of Bombay. The island was in turn joined with the neighbouring island of Salsette to form Greater Bombay.
Mumbai is undoubtedly the commercial capital of India and is one of the predominant port cities in the country. Mumbai’s nature as the most eclectic and cosmopolitan Indian city is symbolized in the presence of Bollywood within the city, the centre of the globally-influential Hindi film and TV industries. It is also home to India’s largest slum population.

Life. Thrown into a chaotic mess, moments pass by and you grow up. People come and go. Opportunities pass – there will be more. Hope. Understanding. God. Is it really what you think it is? Before you know its over again. And all you got is a glimpse.
Jhalak was shot in Bombay, Delhi, Bundi, Ranakpur, Jaipur and Jodhpur.

Here’s a great short film written and directed by Mumbai-based photographer Martin Prihoda that pays a touching tribute to photography. As he explains it, this short amounts to a “love letter to Bombay and to the good old ‘film’ days.”

Each day in Mumbai 4000 men in white outfits and matching hats transport 175,000 lunches across the big city. They retrieve the tiffens (lunch containers) of food from mothers and wives, and bring them (by foot, train, bicycle and even carried on top of their heads) to the office buildings of waiting husbands and sons.
The Dabba Wallas have been doing this since the late 1800s. Despite the unsophisticated mode of transport, the lunches always arrive on time (the error rate is 1 in every 16 million transactions). It’s a pretty impressive feat and we were lucky enough to follow a couple Dabba Wallas for a day in Mumbai, and see their work first hand.

A short film about the most irritating moments of inner-city travels in Mumbai.
This was all filmed hidden at the back of a taxi or rickshaw, for the most part waiting at traffic lights.
