Bombay Mumbai: Where Dreams Don't Die
Description
Mumbai has been extensively photographed over the past century. Like new York, it is a city full of men and women with aspirations of making it big in life. Mumbai is also known as a dream factory because of the overwhelming presence of its film industry, one of biggest in the world. This book collects nearly three decades of work from Raghu Rai, one of India's foremost photojournalist. The pictures encompass life in all its manifestations from the high-rise skyscrapers to the gushing waves of the Arabian sea. It shows movement and activity that almost never ceases fairs and festivities, political demonstrations, films in the making, and the advertising and modelling scene.

Absolute gem of photo book! I lost sleep going through it page by page.

Raghu Rai can do so much better
Raghu Rai is one of the best photographers. But this book does not show his best work. The photos feel mundane and mediocre and the accompanying text by Vir Sanghvi is banal. Mumbai is a more beautiful place that this book would suggest.
