Early this morning we flew from Chennai to Mumbai. The flight was great. It was short and they gave us those little bags of peanuts. Today we went to Bollywood to meet the great painter/director MF Hussain. He was born 17 September 1915 and is Logan's favorite movie director. At Bollywood, there were tour packages for sale ranging from 150$ to 400$. We chose to take the half-day tour which was priced around 150$. The first part of the tour was getting picked up at the hotel. We were surprised on how many people came on the tour but then realized its the cheapest one. We drove for about half an hour until we stopped at the shooting studio. At the studio they showed us how to do certain video effects, how they made the scenes look so real, and we got to take pictures with some stars. Logan got to meet the famous MF Hussain, and he even got an autograph too. We saw some of the sets that MF is working on as well as some trailers of his upcoming movies. That was before we went to the ancient Bollywood cinema were they showed us one of the Bollywood movies on the big screen. At this point we were nearing the end of the tour, but we looked at some of the movie stars houses as we went back. The whole tour, in our opinions, was defiently worth the money.Day Nine
