Located on the waterfront in Colaba to the south of Mumbai, it is the most recognized Monument in Mumbai. Its surroundings are colorful with many vendors introducing a variety of Indian products. I got to this site by boat and actually would recommend it to be your starting point to exploring Mumbai.

Time to go street shopping! Well, welcome to Colaba causeway and purchase attractive souvenirs, clothes and shoes at a very cheap price at Linking Road and some fresh Indian food and spices.
BOLLYWOOD :
I admired to have a brush with some of the stars I see in movies, feel the place where over a hundred films are produced annually. This was made a reality to me. You wish to be in a Bollywood movie rather than watch a set one? Mumbai is the center of the action in Film City.
