Bollywood art style murals in this lovely neighborhood.
"The Bollywood Art Project
Art in public spaces has the power to bring people together. It's truly democratic in the sense that it brings all kind of people together and gives them a chance to participate in the process, whether as a viewer or as an artist themselves. In the same vein, Bollywood is that key link that connects people from all walks of life. It’s literally an emotion, one that Mumbai’s fast-paced life captures ever so beautifully. The Bollywood Art Project (BAP) combines these two aspects. It is an urban art project that aims to transform the streets of Mumbai into a living memorial to Bollywood.
Founded by Ranjit Dahiya in 2012, (coincidently a year before Indian cinema turned a glorious 100), BAP has brought Bollywood’s legends like Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Asha Parekh, Waheeda Rehman, Dharmendra, Sridevi, Rishi Kapoor and Irfan Khan on to the streets of Mumbai. In our murals of these greats, reside nostalgia and history. BAP is an ode to this sentiment. Our mission is to beautify Mumbai’s skyline by encapsulating Bollywood’s rich cinematic history.
BAP started off from Bandra’s Chapel Road and since then, we’ve painted almost every prominent building in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. We’ve also painted murals in France and the US, which brings our tally up to 70 Bollywood murals painted, across 3 countries."
