Bolliwood Diaries (2016)

India is a country that is obsessed with its movies. Thousands of Indians flock to Mumbai every year, with an irrepressible dream of becoming the next star of Bollywood, the Hindi film industry that rules India, but millions more are forced to bury this dream forever due to financial and familial pressure.

This insightful saga delves into the lives of three actors who are fanatically passionate about being a part of Bollywood and succeeding on the silver screen. Rohit (Salim Diwan) is a happy man working at a call centre in New Delhi, Vishnu (Ashish Vidyarthi) is a retired middle-aged government servant from Bhilai, and Imli (Raima Sen), a sex-trade worker from Sonagachi, Kolkata.

With deep insight and empathy, this touching tale highlights their desperate aspiration to be recognised as talented actors, their struggle to gain entry into this fiercely competitive industry, and their emotions along the journey.
