Because of the metropolitan and non-jingoistic and accomodative climes of Mumbai, everyone who has films in mind came here since the 1910s. The hindi film industry grew and grew here, it became so huge that like a shrub cannot survive under a banyn tree, marathi film industry weakened under its shadow. who r the people running the hindi film industry by the way? 70 percent technicians...from make-up men to actors, they r from maharashtra. so hindi film industry is in a way the child of maharashtra.
