Description about Mumbai/Bombay can not be complete without the mention of Bollywood, the biggest Indian film industry which churns out hundreds of Hindi block-busters every year.
Located on the west coast of India, the group of islands which has grown into the city of Mumbai, was probably first recorded as the home of fisher folk where a group of Buddhist monks established an outpost late during the Magadhan empire. The islands were tossed from one king to another emperor for two millenia, until the maritime trade empire of the British decided to develop the natural harbor into a city. In the four hundred years since then, the city has grown by a series of land reclamations which now link the original islands into one mass.
