Bombay is considered the city of dreams as "Mayapuri" because of its film industry which has contributed in a big way to produce an image of the city as a blend of dreams and reality.

It has always attracted people all across the country to showcase their talent and creativity.

Several migrants from nearby states have always been attracted towards Mumbai in search of jobs and livelihood with some of them making a mark in the industry and has contributed in giving a national character to the industry.

People who aspire to make a career in show business have been allured by its charm and glamour.

Mumbai has been the commercial capital of the country and one of the developed cities in India, migrants with the prospects of better job opportunities come here.

But, their exist another side of Mumbai which is charcterised by slums, chawls,harsh living conditions that depicts the endless toil that people have to encounter in urban areas.

Most of the migrant population finds hard to get proper accommodation and live under subhuman conditions The condition of the migrants generally remain the same as survival becomes difficult for them in this city of glamour which has high cost of living.With their relentless struggle not everybody make it to the film industry despite of their talents and end up facing severe hardships.

Life in slums, chawls is equally disturbing with bad living conditions,one room tenements, no private toilets gives a disturbing and contrasting picture of the city and reflects the harsh conditions of this city of dreams.
