Anupama Chopra (born 23 February 1967) is an Indian author, journalist, and film critic. She has written several books on Indian cinema and has been a film critic for NDTV, India Today, as well as the Hindustan Times. She won the 2000 National Film Award for Best Book on Cinema for her first book Sholay: The Making of a Classic. (Wikipedia.)

These are Anu’s ten favourite films based in Mumbai, in chronological order. “Her choices range over almost 40 years, so they offer a view not only of how Indian cinema has changed in that time, but also how Mumbai has developed too”, says the Guardian.
