In the tenth and final episode of the series Bombay Born, I talk to Amrit Gangar, who has researching and writing on films and Bombay for over forty years now. A scholar, curator, archivist and the quintessential Bombayite,

Mr. Gangar spoke to me about the unique qualities of Bombay or Mumbai as a city, how Bombay emerged as the capital of movie making in India, and some landmark films on Mumbai as a city. Finally, we agree that films have performed as an archive of the city over the last hundred years, yet there is a crying need to systematically preserve older films, most of which have already perished.
