Street artist Ranjit Dahiya is making it big in Bollywood City

Mumbai: India’s sprawling megapolis, where gleaming skyscrapers stretch upwards towards the sun and the capital’s inhabitants run on an extraordinary buzz unlike anywhere else. It’s also the home of Bollywood, a century-old film institution which is where – they say – India’s dreams are made. It’s cast of good-looking actors, vibrant colours, elaborate dance routines and rich storytelling (whether it’s realism, heart-aching pathos or a feel-good family saga) have captivated audiences worldwide. Yet, for a city so invested in cinema, public adulation in the form of art is seldom come by.
