The city of dreams, Mumbai and the stories of its dreamers hit hard the Indian audiences and hence are portrayed by Bollywood film-makers. Movies like Gully Boy and Life In A Metro are still one of the viewers' favourites. Mumbai's Dharavi is India's largest slum and hence, a cavern of unheard stories and unfulfilled dreams. Bollywood has tried its best to give these stories a platform and given voice to the faceless dreams that die and are born everyday in this 2.1 square km of area. Here are a few movies that gave life to the gullies of Dharavi that you need to watch at least once.

The Oscar-winning movie and the recipient of eight Academy Awards, Slumdog Millionaire showcased the dark and ugly side of Dharavi as its residents get exploited by corrupt and powerful people. The story of a young slum boy raised in misery and poverty who enters a quiz show and wins the grand prize of Rs 20 million. The movie is a reminder that no dream is unachievable if you are persistent and determined.

"In 1991 I made a film called Dharavi. The film began with a camel accidentally getting shot during a riot. The Om Puri's character says "yeh saala raet ka jaanwar kaiko samundar ke paas aaya marne ke vaaste?" That was a metaphor for the migrant workers forced to move because they're desperate." - Sudhir Mishra
the dharavi slum as a world inside a city, a kind of trap of time and dreams. on the brink of economic liberalisation and half a century of history seems to churn about, the scars and dreams of the past there to see in every fading movie poster. time one key - when one character mentions late in the film that over a year and a half of time has elapsed since the film's beginning it's as quietly horrifying as anything - and the faces of om puri and shabana azmi the other, the sound of "ek do teen" played from garbage speakers, the lights of the city seen from taxi cab windows. renu saluja and om puri are both gone and film is so much poorer for it.
same old same old - loser gets caught up with a gang as a shortcut to a better life and things do not end well - but i've never seen it told quite like this, with the focus on performances rather than creating an overly violent/gritty/nightmare atmosphere, feels much more realistic and is more heartbreaking because of it. uses the fantasy of bollywood to create a character that isn't quite greedy, exactly, just desperate to escape his circumstances at any cost, is blind to everything and everyone else around him, and doesn't live so much for the end goal as for the journey itself, a person who doesn't know who he is if he isn't searching and fighting for something more. beautiful with some surprising fantasy touches, there are so many details here that just blew me away, i don't think there is a single shot that isn't painstakingly crafted to be crammed to the brim with meaning.
Just love the concept of life being a pile of quicksand. There is no way to achieve success and hold on to it, and cursed are those who can't tolerate and make peace like prostitutes. But you either live like a prostitute or suffer happily; no choice is worse or better.
for a area so prominent in mumbai's culture - hosting over a million people in just 600 acres of land - we have seen severe neglect in telling their stories except poverty porn or ultra unrealistic fantastical pieces
Tapestry of filth and squalor, Sudhir Mishra's film follows a man on fire trying to move through his orbit to get out of it. The filmmaker's voice is heard with hellish images and a socially impotent protagonist. Even daydreaming about matinee heroines and capital ownership will never bring you equilibrium when the trajectory of fatalism is written.
Like any other film by Pa Ranjith, the release of Kaala (2018) too witnessed several analytical and 'de-coding' pieces written on it. One thing that was common among all these pieces is that they compared Kaala with Mani Ratnam's Nayakan (1987) on some point or the other. This was understandable for two reasons. One, the story in both movies is located in Dharavi, Mumbai. And secondly, one of them starred Kamal Hassan and the other, Rajinikanth. The careers of these two competing stars have been continuously compared and contrasted since the 1980s.
However, most of these pieces missed out the most interesting inference. That Kaala is a deliberately crafted anti-thesis to Nayakan. It is almost as if Pa Ranjith wanted to erase the Brahmin-Savarna gaze of Dharavi in Nayakan and rewrite it from a Dalit-Bahujan perspective. And we can easily deduce this if we look closely at any aspect from these two movies.
This leads us to another direct contrast between Nayakan and Kaala. If Mani Ratnam uses Dharavi as a prop in his movie to tell the story of an individual hero, Ranjith uses Rajinikanth as a prop to tell the story of Dharavi and its people. He explicitly demonstrates this in the climax sequence by showing that the face of Kaala/Rajinikanth is nothing more than a mask. A mask that anyone can wear and assume its identity. The movie actually gets meta here, because like the Dharavi residents, Ranjith too is wearing the mask of Rajinikanth to speak his own politics.
Contrast this with the images and/or statues of Buddha, Ambedkar, Phule, Periyar, Marx, Lenin and Kamaraj that we abundantly see in Kaala. Even in their religious affiliation, Ranjith documents the diverse beliefs that Dalit Bahujans follow. You can see a Hindu temple, a Buddhist Vihar, a Mosque and even local dieties that are appropriated by Hinduism like an Ayyanar place of worship and a Mariamman temple.
In Nayakan, Velu Nayakkar is adopted by a Pasmanda Muslim family that is engaged in criminal activities in Dharavi. Apart from criminalising the only Muslim family shown in the movie, it keeps the Bahujan relationship across religions mostly superficial. Brother-sister relationships between Hindu men and Muslim women is an easy mainstream narrative and Nayakan too follows that with Velu Nayakkar and Shyla.
Not wanting to settle down for such convenient narratives, Ranjith introduces a romantic relationship between Kaala and Zareena. Their wedding is only stopped by external factors and not because they belonged to different religions or any sort of family resistance. By doing this, Ranjith establishes the camaraderie and intermingling that exists among Bahujans across religions.
The more one scratches the surface of both these movies, the more we notice the opposing nature of them. Kaala is undoubtedly a carefully crafted re-writing of Nayakan, that attempts to tell the Dalit Bahujan story from the Dalit Bahujan perspective.
Poverty, struggle, leather, pollution, crime, and Mumbai are some common words that people mention when talking about Dharavi. Featured in Globally hit movies like Slum Dog Millionaire, the Dharavi Slum is famous for the birth of many rags-to-riches stories in India.
Dharavi is the largest slum in Asia located in Mumbai, the financial capital of India. The Dharavi slum covers an area of just over 2.1 square kilometres and is home to over 2 million migrant semi-skilled workers and laborers bustling to make ends meet in the City of Dreams.
It was established in 1884 during the British colonial era with the purpose to establish a separate industrial unit for polluting industries. The leather tannery industry which was the most polluting industry in Bombay was the first to be moved into Dharavi in 1887. Tannery workers and a Gujrati community of potters called Kumbhars were the early settlers in the Slum.
The high influx of Jobs in one of the fastest-growing cities in India saw migrant workers from every state in the country dreaming to find better work opportunities. This made Dharavi a home to diverse artisans and laborers from all parts of India. Potters from Saurashtra, embroidery workers, and artisans from Uttar Pradesh, Muslim leather tanners from confectioners Tamil Nadu were all to be found in Dharavi.
