Bollywood Helpline

Our office is in Room No 230 at the Kartik Complex. If you know Andheri West, you know how hectic it can be around the Andheri Kurla Road. We are right by Safed Pool in Sakinaka, across from the Laxmi Industrial Estate. It’s a real mix of businesses around here. You have the industrial sounds from across the street and then our office, which is usually buzzing with talk about films and news. We’ve been in this complex for a good while. The hallways are long and always have people rushing somewhere. Inside our room, it’s a bit of a mess with posters, papers, and phones ringing all the time. We track what’s happening in the industry, mostly just talking to people and keeping notes. It’s not a glamorous spot, despite the name Bollywood Helpline. It’s mostly just hard work in a small space. The tea boy comes around twice a day, which is the highlight for most of us. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit and talk until it comes back. Sakinaka traffic is legendary, so we usually end up staying late to avoid the worst of it. It’s just the way it is here. We aren't a big corporation, just a group of people who love the movie business and live right in the middle of all the action in Andheri. It's loud, it's cramped, but it's our daily life. No fancy mission statements or anything like that.
