Map of Bombay city as a “cine-ecology” in the 1930s. Each of these locations features prominently in my book, Bombay Hustle, and you can look them up using the index in the back of the book. Designed by Carmen Cheung.

This map didn’t make it into the book but I love it. You see the main film studios I discuss in Bombay Hustle, represented by their studio logos from the 1930s. Sagar featured a mermaid, Ranjit had a horserider, and Bombay Talkies went with minimalist initials. Map designed by Carmen Cheung.

This might be my favorite map from Bombay Hustle: portraying the city as a landscape of precarity, marked by multiple dreams and bodily injuries. I discuss the “shooting accidents” suffered by Mohammed Rafique, Nalini D, Shastri, Abdulla and Salam in Chapter 6, “Short Circuit | Struggle.”
