The colorful stories and fancy music-and-dance routines of Bollywood films began life in this city in the 1930s. Mumbai itself is as larger-than-life as the heroes of its movies. Attractions like the Gateway of India bore witness to the dramatic event when British colonial troops left India and made it an independent country. Kala Ghoda, on the other hand, is a district adorned with art galleries and museums. For those who love swimming and street food, Juhu Beach serves up a healthy dose of clean seawater and coastal cafes.
