On the way to the theater in Mumbai to watch a Bollywood film with her family, one little girl imagines different scenes that one day she hopes to make as a filmmaker. The illustrations are whimsical as different scenes from Mumbai are portrayed. The text has many cultural references weaved organically throughout to expose others to the culture. The overall feeling of the book is joyful as the little girl shares her positive encounters within her community as her family goes together to enjoy a movie. This book is a positive representation of the culture and makes me want to share a Bollywood film with my family.
