I'm a businessman, so they may say,
"What the hell are you wearing?"

No.

From the way people flock here,
it definitely must be.

It's a crazy city,
but it makes you believe.

It's the last chance for young

Lots of hard work and sweat has gone

00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,695
Blood and sweat.
59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,935
To see all of this come to life
together is amazing.

00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,815
The son of an investment banker
and a teacher,
61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,855
Sudipan is Mumbai born and bred.

00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,495
He's travelled the world,
but has settled in his home town

00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,735
to start his latest

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,015
...a brand-new music festival he's
calling Dunk Fest.
65
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,135
The idea is to create India's
66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,135
home-grown, erm, festival,
67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,895
music festival, that travels not
only throughout the country,
68
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,695
but also throughout the

Everything.
72
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,975
But the only thing different here
73
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,135
is that we also have Holi
combined into all of this.
74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,895
For centuries, Holi has been
a countrywide street party
75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,055
to which the whole of India
is invited,
76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,335
in which people plaster the streets
and each other in a rainbow of dye.
77
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,175
Sudipan's idea is to create a
Holi music festival
78
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,215
and to charge customers for what has
traditionally been a free event.
79
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,815
How much is a general
admission ticket?
80
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:27,135
1,500 for general admission ticket.
81
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,455
1,500 rupees.
82
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,775
2,500 for a slightly
higher category,
83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,935
and about 50,000 rupees for
the VIP.
84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,495
1,500 rupees for the cheapest
ticket is £15.
85
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,055
The most expensive tickets are £500,
86
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,095
and grant access to a VIP area
yet to be constructed.
87
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,295
This is an exclusive
celebrity lounge.
88
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,855
So, these sheets, they would turn
into colourful acrylics like that.
89
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,575
I took three clays to convince him
to spend money on this.
90
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,095
This is very expensive.
91
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,415
How much?
92
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,135
Er, how do I convert?
93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,615
You can tell me in rupees
and I can...
94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,695
In rupees? We're
spending about 15 lakhs, 1-5.
95
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,375
£15,000. Only on this, only on this
third. Yeah. Yeah.

How long until this place has
to be ready?
104
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,895
Er, by morning. Six.

00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,495

So, what else is still left to do?
109
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:49,775
There are box offices.

122
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,815
jugaad means...
123
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,215
...you don't go the traditional way
to fix something,
124
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,815
you just figure out a smart way.
125
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:35,455
There's always a smart solution to
every problem. Yeah, smart solution.
126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,895
jugaad is a Hindi word that sums up
127

how, in India, there's
a way around any problem.

In India, "cannot" is not a word in
their vocabulary.

For Mumbai's young entrepreneurs,
137
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,335
a dose ofjugaad can turn a
pipe dream into a reality.

149
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,655
The ones with fire that you
have in your belly

00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,015
to make something of your life.

Ancl that comes from watching

go through hard work or hardships.
153
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,535
Ancl then there's the other kind
who just have a lot

that has been handed over to them
on a plate.
155
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,735
Ancl the attitude is a little
bit complacent.
156
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,455
When we were growing up,
we had two career options.
157
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,615
You could either be a doctor
or an engineer.
158
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,575
But young India is very
clear about what it wants,
159
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,975
and that is exactly opposite of what
its previous generation did.
160
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,175
So many options. So many choices.
161
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,735
Choices... We didn't have those
kind of choices.
162
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,935
...of professions.
163
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,375
There's much more money.
164
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,215
The young are making much
more money.
165
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,695
They all have huge aspirations,
huge dreams.
166
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,095
That's how it should be.
167
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,055
When I was growing up, you know,
18 to 20 years ago,
168
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,535
I think youngsters were looked
at as aspiring youngsters.

But today youngsters are looked
at as, erm, game changers.

of this nation.

00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,535
How long until you've got to go on?

...and then stand and line-up.

It's insanity.

23-year-old Shimona Nath has been
tipped as this year's one-to-watch

It's difficult to get into
Fashion Week.

Only the top of the top make it.

They want to go out there
and make a name for themselves.

They want to earn the money that
they can

00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,775
and build things for themselves.

On my shoulders, also. OK.
193
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,495
But I have to go out there,
and I have to make it,
194
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,895
and I have to work, and I have to
take care of things.

Do my back, also, please.
196
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,775
Modelling is something I started
because of looking at my mum,
197
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,975
she was a model.
198
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,055
Ancl seeing her life, I was like,
that's something I want to do.

Back when Shimona's mum was
walking the runway,
200
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,495
Indian fashion was a niche industry,
201
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,575
employing just a handful of people.
202
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,655
Today, Fashion Week boasts over
100 shows over five days,
203
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,175
employing hundreds of models.

Baba, can you give me lips?
205
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,415
It is hard work, for sure.

as the new face of India's oldest
make-up brand, Lakme.
213
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,095
Her campaign will be shown on
gigantic screens
214
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,135
before the start of every runway
show this week.
215
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,215
Oh, the ad! The ad is playing.
216
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,895
As the face of Lakme,
217
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,655
she was paid 30 times more than
the average model earns

Actually, if I tell you
very honestly,

00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,175
I feel like taking a shit right now.

[CHEERING]
233
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,255
It's a little bit of a narcissistic
job, being a model.
234
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,735
Everyone wants to look their best.
235
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,495
They only care about me and my look
and how I'm going to look there.
236
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,215
Especially this city, Bombay.
237
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,535
It's so fast paced over here.
238
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:20,775
It's chaotic.
239
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,815
People are running here 24/7.
240
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,375
They're working in the mornings,
241
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,295
spending the nights trying to think,
"What else can I do?
242
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,855
"What next step for my job?"
243
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,375
Because you can become
a millionaire overnight.
244
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,535
It's crazy.
245
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,975
But also, if you're not in your
best shape
246
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,615
and you're not achieving here,
247
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,815
it will chew you up and spit you
back out. Absolutely.

00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,615
Fashion Week takes place in Bandra,
249
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,335
a hub for Mumbai's
young professionals.
250
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,415
It's a neighbourhood with
a 24-hour buzz.
251
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:14,415
Every week sees the opening of a new
bar, boutique, or coffee shop.
252
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,975
And today, there'll be 101.
253
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,855
This morning, this former bakery
will reopen
254
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,455
as Mumbai's latest brunch spot.
255
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,735
I have been told I have to make my
own coffee.
256
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,735
I think my team bullies me a lot.

Yash Bhanage is the brains
behind Veronica's.
258
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,535
This is his fifth venture in Mumbai,
259
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,495
where a young generation with
disposable income
260
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,855
are driving a boom in
new restaurants.
261
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,335
In the last five years,
262
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,535
most people from Bombay have better
disposable incomes.
263
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,415
They know what good coffee is, or
they know what good food is.
264
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,135
People want to go out, they want to
go for that luxurious spend,
265
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,095
they want to have that extra glass
of wine
266
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,575
or a glass of cocktail with it.
267
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,575
But today, I'm a bit worried
that we don't have people lining up.
268
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,455
I was hoping we'd have a
couple of people,
269
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,295
but I'm sure people will wake up
late on a weekend and come in.
270
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,295
Yeah, so, a bit anxious.

I thought.

00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,695
What a great turnout it is.
280
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,175
It's a bit overwhelming.
281
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,015
We are running out of space,
which is good. Good problems only.
282
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,735

I'm eating poached eggs.

00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,775
In a city where a chapati
and a cup of chai costs 10p...
285
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,935
Tastes so good!
286
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,175
...the people of Bandra are happy to
splash out 80 times that amount
287
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,815
on a cup of coffee and an
artisan bagel.
288
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,935
I need an avocado, cream cheese,
no dairy on a buckwheat toast.

it's...different. Super different.

00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,735
What's the most popular choice
so far?
292
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,895
Salmon, cream cheese,
293
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,295
and hangover tacos - a lot of them.
294
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,175

297
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,935
We decided to get the hangover tacos
because it's Saturday

naughty last night.

that's it.

A mocha Frappuccino is my favourite.

Sometimes I do the, er, macchiato,
which is a smaller coffee,
307
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,375
but 90% of the time, yeah,
it's Americano.

00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,855
The black coffees.
309
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,655

very pretentious.

"until I have my cup of coffee."

awake and wants like some close...

I'm sorry, I do not subscribe to
this at all.

I certainly don't go to the
swanky coffee places

I don't even know how to
order that coffee.

00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:10,015
So, I'd rather drink the coffee that
I have at home.

300 to 500 rupees for a coffee
325
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,655
in a country like India, I mean,
would seem sinful.
326
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,175
But you see all the Starbucks
in this country

packed to the hilt,

00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,815

345
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,575
Chandani has been in the modelling
business for a year
346
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,135
and has recently moved out
of her parents' house.
347
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,575
My parents lives in Bombay
and I live in Bombay, too,
348
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,055
but I am living apart from them.
349
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,495
My father, er, still he doesn't
earn much.
350
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,215
Where we live, that house is
very small
351
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,335
and we have, like, one room,
352
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:45,015
and in that only we have kitchen,
bathroom, everything.
353
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,255
We all sleep together - my mum,
clad, me, and my brother.
354
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,455
Four people.
355
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,255
In that small house, I couldn't do
certain things, like,
356
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,335
because we have, like, really
hectic schedule.
357
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:00,535
We have 3am call time
and everything,
358
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,975
and I wasn't liking it because
they are a little bit strict,
359
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,135
like, about my timing and stuff,
360
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,615
certain way of clothing I wear.
361
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,495
Cheers. Cheers.
[CHANDAI LAUGHS]
362
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,455
To a good, healthy, green
life. Yeah.
363
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,855
Are they traditional?
364
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,135
Very much!
365
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,335
They are like, "No, don't do this,
don't do that,
366
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:20,655
"don't do this, don't do that."
367
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,295
I'm just like, "Oh, my God, OK."
368
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,175
But now they know the way I live,
369
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,695
the type of clothes I wear,
370
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,935
and they are OK with it because they
are seeing me growing every clay.
371
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,095
This is my little vision board.
372
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,735
Oh, yeah, she has a vision board in
here. That's really pretty.
373
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,815
Oh.
374
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,975
Marilyn Monroe.
375
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,735
That's my clad.
376
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,295
Ah. Yeah.
377
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,735
I remember the first time my father,
378
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,855
he saw me in the newspaper on the
first page.
379
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,975
He called me and he's like,
"Chandani, is that you?"
380
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,455
I was like, "Yes, Papa."
381
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,775
He's like, "Oh, my God, I'm so
proud of you."
382
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,535
How did that feel?
383
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,855
Amazing. That's why I kept this
picture here,
384
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,775
to remind myself that you can do it.
385
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,815
Shimona may have already found
success in the modelling business,
386
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,415
but Chandani's career is
just starting out.
387
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,095
Give me some advice.
[SHIMONA LAUGHS]
388
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:15,335
Please! I need that.
389
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,695
Oh, my God, it's a lot going on,
390
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,935
and you've got to just absorb all
the good energies
391
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,615
and show up on that ramp like that,
all pumped.
392
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,095
We've got to show that on our faces
and our walk when we're there.
393
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,775
I'm very excited because I get good
money through modelling.
394
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,815
How much money would you
earn in one Fashion Week?
395
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,215
Well, I don't know yet.
[LAUGHS]
396
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,695
I don't know yet.
397
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,455
Maybe, er, around one lakh.
398
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,975
That's about £1,000?
399
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,135
Yeah. Yeah.
400
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,055
For the average Indian, £1,000 -
one lakh -
401
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,855
is the equivalent of
six months' salary.
402
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,815
This season there feels like there
is this little pressure.
403
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,975
You've got to turn up,
you've got to show spunk,
404
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,015
you've got to show energy
and all of that.
405
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,975
Did you see the line-up of designer?
Yeah. Yeah.
406
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,455
I'm excited. I got you. Yeah!
LAUGHS
407
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,535
I've got you, girl.
We've got each other.
408
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,015
Half of Indians are under 25.
409
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,695
There are over 200-million
teenagers here,
410
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,935
more than any other country
in the world.
411
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,975
Pretty much everyone in Mumbai
is on social media...
412
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,055
...trying to make their dreams
a reality.
413
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,975
This is 15-year-old Maleesha Kharwa.
414
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,175
That's my picture.
415
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,175
It is a photo shoot I have clone.
416
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,375
I would like to be a supermodel.
417
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,295
I look very different, huh?
418
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,775
What do you think of the clothes?
419
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,015
It's too short. I have never wore it
in my life.
420
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,055
That was my first time, that's why.
421
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,775
I love my hair doing straight, not
too much curls,
422
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,055
but in this, I love.
423
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,935
And how was the photographer?
424
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,815
She was so amazing!
425
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,815
Her name is Sashajairam.
426
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,495
This video was posted online
by an American tourist,
427
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,455
who spotted Maleesha on the street
two years ago
428
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,535
and saw her potential as a model.
429
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,415
The video went viral and gave
Maleesha the confidence
430
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,255
to contact one of her favourite
fashion photographers
431
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,775
via social media.
432
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,175
She asked her for help to create
a portfolio,
433
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,975
which the photographer agreed to do
for free.
434
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,415
It's one shoot about my
favourite photographer.
435
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,415
This is also, she only took this.
436
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,335
Was the photograph published in a
magazine or was it a photo shoot?
437
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:20,135
No, only for the shoot.
438
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,695
Like Shimona and Chandani, Maleesha
also lives in Bandra.
439
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,815
She lives in an illegal
squatters' settlement,
440
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,215
in a secluded part of
the waterfront.
441
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,575
This is my house.
442
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,975
This is where we sleep.
443
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:37,615
Who sleeps in the bed?
444
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,175
Erm, my father and my brother,
and I sleep there.
445
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,135
My daddy built this house.
446
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,855
We need electricity to earn,
and there is no electricity.
447
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,335
What do you do at night
if there's no electricity?
448
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:51,535
I'll show you.
449
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,895
See. This.
450
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,735
And that's a power bank?
451
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,055
Yes, power bank.
452
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,295
Although Maleesha's family have
lived here for over 20 years,
453
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,615
they're under constant threat
from slum clearances.
454
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,975
As Maleesha grows her portfolio, her
likes and followers are stacking up.
455
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,895
How many followers do you have?
456
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,375
How does it feel to have
over 200,000 followers?
457
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,455
Very HAPPY-
458
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,375
How many followers do you want?
459
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:55,415
One...
460
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,455
MOUTHS: "million.
461
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,295
One million? Yes.
462
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,935
With its booming young population,
463
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,535
Mumbai is one of the fastest-growing
cities in the world...
464
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,455
...and it's practically
filled to the brim.
465
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,215
[HORNS TOOT]
466
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,695
As Mumbai is an island,
there's nowhere to expand to.
467
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,495
So the city is embarking on one of
the world's biggest mega projects.
468
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,855
A series of motorways are under
construction out in the sea
469
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,455
that will allow Mumbai to expand
down the coast into rural areas
470
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,455
on the mainland, like the town
of Alibag.
471
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,455
This sleepy seaside resort
472
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,175
is currently a three-hour drive
from Mumbai.
473
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,015
The new road will cut
the journey to under an hour.
474
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:07,575
This has sparked a property
gold rush in the area.
475
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,215
There's a certain level of crowd
that is coming in.
476
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,655
Typical high society and a lot
of people from Bollywood
477
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,455
also have shown interest.
478
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,215
[APPLAUSE]
The Best Actor goes to...
479
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,335
...Ram Kapoor.
480

Bollywood star Ram Kapoor...

Thank you so much.
482
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,695
...is on his way to his new
villa in Alibag.
483
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,215
Alibag was never on the
radar earlier.
484
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,135
Now it's getting developed so fast.
485
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,215
There's even an eight-lane
expressway coming.
486
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,895
Getting from Mumbai to Alibag,
it'll be so easy.
487
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,535
That's the reason why
I started looking,
488
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,055
and I got lucky with this particular
property that you're going to see.
489
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,655
Here we go! Home sweet home!
490
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,935
Welcome.
491
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,175
Hi, guys.
492
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,855
That's my lovely staff.
493
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,615
I pay a fee for them, and they're
fantastic. I love them.
494
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,135
They come part of the house.
495
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,975
Ram has just bought this
off-the-peg, 10,000 square foot
496
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,295
show home, the first in a
new development
497
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,815
where homes start at £2 million.
498
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,895
This place is, er, is not cheap.
499
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,415
It comes, er, at a
considerable cost.
500
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,255
That right there is an
18 foot, er...
501
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,215
...gorilla made of metal.
502
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,295
Very cool.
503
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,415
That was built as part of one
of the outdoor features
504
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,015
when the house was built.
505
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,375
So, when I came and saw it,
it was already there,
506
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,455
and I loved it, so I didn't want
it removed.
507
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,575
This room has an entire lilypond.
508
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,375
Wanted to kind of surround
the house by water
509
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,615
because we love the sound of water,
in the night, especially.
510
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,575
Come, this is the bedroom,
where all the magic happens.
511
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,815
Best thing about the room
is the view.
512
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,415
That's the view I wake up to
in the mornings.
513
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,295
With most of the plots
still to be sold,
514
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,015
Ram's view doesn't yet extend
beyond the perimeter fence.
515
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,375
It's a good investment.
516
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,575
Whether we live in it in the future,
whether I give it out on rent,
517
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,135
whether I sell it five years later
and make a profit on it,
518
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,295
it doesn't matter, because whatever
you do in Alibag right now,
519
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,895
you can't make a bad investment.
520
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,135
With house prices in Alibag
sky rocketing,
521
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,295
Ram plans to expand his
property portfolio.
522
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,655
We have bought this guy,
right opposite.
523
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,295
This construction coming up
is our second villa.
524
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,615
This one is my mother and
my sister...
525
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,335
...which is the corner plot.
526
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:55,575
Ancl we're in talks of me
buying this centre plot,
527
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,495
which, as you can see, makes sense.
528
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,855
I mean, I own this,
which is the corner.
529
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,935
My mother owns that, which is
the other corner.
530
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,855
Now we own this plot.
531
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,575
We don't really want to have
somebody in the middle.
532
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,975
Doesn't make much sense.
533
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,815
Hello. Hi.
534
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,375
Hi, Ram, how are you?
535
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,535
Hi.
536
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,375
Ram has invited round Adithya
and Natasha,
537
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,295
two local property developers.
538
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,535
Sit, sit, sit.
539
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,895
How's everything at Avas Living?
540
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,655
Very good. No complaints.
541
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,215
With property prices in Alibag
going up by the week,
542
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,015
Ram's plan is to shake hands on a
deal on his fourth property today.
543
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,255
So, this is now for the...
544
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,615
...for the middle plot.
545
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,895
I would rather not discuss exact
figures... Yes. ..in front of them.
546
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,895
Listen, the figure that you're at...
547
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,535
Yes.
548
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,255
...you include the interior for
that figure,
549
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,015
and I will shake hands with
you right now.
550
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,455
I can't say no to you, Ram.
[RAM LAUGHS]
551
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,415
Done. Good.
552
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,735
BBC's lucky for me.
553
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,055
That is good.
554
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,575
Thank you. Thank you.
555
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,735
Now give them some good coffee!
[LAUGHS]
556
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,095
Four plots with one client.
557
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,415
Four plots.
558
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,175
That's just...
And it's still February.
559
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,535
[LAUGHS]
560
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,215
So, we have plans for...
561
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,815
We have plans for Ram
and his family.
562
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,135
[RAM LAUGHS]
So it's not going to stop here.
563
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,175
But not everyone is happy about the
Alibag property boom.
564
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,015
We've had this home for almost
close to 30 years.
565
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,455
I really find this a very gracious
way of living, you know.
566
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,535
Mumbai-born retiree
Meena ks hi Matthew
567
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:50,375
lives in a secluded villa in Alibag
on an acre of manicured rainforest.
568
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,495
So, this is a little space -
569
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,975
we call it the machan -
570
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,775
where we sit, and...and we have
a drink sometimes.
571
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,695
We have tea in the evening.
572
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,775
Well, I sit in the morning
and have my tea,
573
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,295
and watch the sunrise over there.
574
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,295
When Meenakshi moved
here from Mumbai,
575
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,895
she was part of a first wave of
young, monied professionals
576
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,255
looking for respite from the
cut-throat hustle of the city.
577
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,455
What are you having?
578
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,695
Er, martini.
579
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,575
Ah, martini.
580
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,935
Today, she's hosting a get together
for a select few of her neighbours,
581
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,375
and there's only one topic
of conversation.
582
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:46,775
When I came here, the road
to my house was just fields.
583
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,735
And now there are about, say,
40 bungalows there.
584
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,895
40.
585
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,495
[CHATTER]
586
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,255
I don't like the new development.
587
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,895
The aesthetics are missing,
which you will see.
588
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,855
Really, the aesthetics are missing.
589
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,895
Ancl the parking is a nightmare.
590
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:11,255
I find that, well,
a lot of people have come,
591
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,895
and they've started building these
modern homes
592
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,775
that, to my mind,
593
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,735
it just doesn't
lend itself to the place.
594
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,055
Yeah. It's like you're just
making it
595
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,935
one of those concrete, glass
and, erm,
596
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,735
you know, marble places.
597
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,255
Alibag used to be a very sleepy
outpost of Mumbai.
598
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,415
Only the very few had
the foresight way back then -
599
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,375
my husband being one of them -
to buy land in Alibag,
600
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,095
because it was just a perfect
getaway from the city.
601
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:55,015
It's sort of the Indian version of
the Hamptons in the US, if you will.
602
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,575
Minus the nightlife.
603
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,895
As yet.
604
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,935
I'm sure that's going to
change, too.
605
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,375
Bombay has this rushed vibe.
606
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,335
When you're in Bombay, you can
have a heart attack any time,
607
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,255
because you're always running.
608
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,095
So, when you want to get off that
roller-coaster,
609
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,695
you go to Alibag.
610
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:16,895
So, people who started to buy and
acquire property in Alibag then -
611
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,615
40 years ago, 50 years ago,
like my husband -
612
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,495
today are wondering, "My God,
what has hit us?"

She's my grandmother,
she's my mumma.

A stone's throw from Ram Kaposi's
new house
616
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,015
lives 16-year-old Riya Rani.
617
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,575

and make this empire.

So, yeah, this village is special
for me,
620
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,455
Alibag is special for me,
621
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,895
and my mother is very too
special for me.

for one of Alibag's
wealthy residents.
625
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,575
For generations, the women of
Riya's family
626
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,135
have had next to no
formal education.
627

bringing unprecedented changes

to Alibag.
631
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,135
Alibag is developing.
632
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,055
There are so many big colleges
for students,
633
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,015
so we have so many chances to make
our career.
634
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,655
And with those changes
come new aspirations.

00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,215
because my school teacher are

play this role, too,

If we want to be a nation to
be reckoned with,

there has to be some degree
of equality.

737

as a citizen of this country,

we have so much of a disparity
between our people.

and there's so many poor people.
741

makes it harder

qualitatively different

that India was...was deprived.

856
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,975
I was so stressed, but, yeah,
everything went well.
857
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,695
Ancl now we have got the finale
performance onstage,
858
00:55:43,720 --> 00:55:47,495
the main, main attraction of the
party, DJ Chetas.
859
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,535
Ancl now I can finally have a drink!
860
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,415
Mumbai is something else.
861
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,855
You have to be here to
experience it.
862
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,255
There are more opportunities to make
money than there aren't.
863
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,615
I can tell you,
Mumbai is the city of dreams.
864
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,695
When I came to Mumbai,
I had nothing,
865
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:16,575
and now I just feel grateful
866
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,775
that I have everything that I ever
dreamt of.
867
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:23,655
Mumbai is a tough city.
868
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,215
You have to be a tough titty
to make it.
869
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,495
It's a city that's really pushing
you to the edge.
870
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,215
I mean, either you make it
or...or get out.
871
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,855
Mumbai absorbs everything.
872
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,175
Everybody sees the pavement
full of gold.
873
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,375
It's gold dust that's
attracted us. Yeah.
874
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,615
And everybody, in their own
strange way, makes it.
875
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,615
Without sounding immodest,
if I may say so,
876
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,095
your own Prime Minister today
is Indian.
877
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,535
Some of the biggest companies
in the world, starting with Google,
878
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,255
is run by an Indian.
879
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:11,015
So, Indians today have this great
sense of self-worth
880
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,815
and this great buoyancy in them.
881
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,815
I think the next two decades are
going to belong to India,
882
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,015
especially young India, because
there is no other country
883
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,895
in the world that will have the kind
of opportunities
884
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,935
and the kind of ambition that
India has.
