Well the paradox lies in the fact that films are made in Hindi, a language spoken largely in the northern parts of India, but are directed and produced in Mumbai with a different local language. It all started years ago when Dadasaheb Phalke made India’s first film, Raja Harishchandra (1913), and shot it in and around Mumbai, and the entire industry he kickstarted never shifted base.
Earliest Indian cinema was heavily influenced and created by artists in Parsi theatre, who were based in Mumbai. Parsi plays blended realism with fantasy, music with dance, narrative with spectacle and dialogue with stage presentation -- an approach echoed by the earliest Indian films too.
Consequently, Mumbai became the base of several filmmakers and studios, and it remains that way today.
