Bollywood Diaries

I am also an struggling actor.. I am agree with all the scenes shown in this movie but I am doubtful that how Daman (Assistant Director role) can take money from imlie in name of portfolio..this is fraud first I thought that director must show him as a fraud in last but director shown him genuine Assistant director... genuine ADs orr casting directors Take money from you in the name of portfolio..

The movie struggled in the same way as the struggling actors. It has the right idea, the right amount of heart, but misses the main punch of storytelling. Overall, it's a decent effort which is definitely watchable.

This is one of those movies that takes you to another dimension. Surrealistic storyline. Ashish Vidyarthi delivers his life's best performance IMHO. Raima, Salim and the guy who plays Assist. Director have acted really really well. All in all a very well directed movie. Lyrics of all the songs are awesome. Sometimes there is comedy in the tragedy, specially with Ashish Vidyarthi's and Salim's character. Worth watching for the story alone. I am sure there are characters like these in real life and everyone will connect with this movie at some level. You will have various emotions for the characters - sometimes you feel annoyed by them, sometimes hate them, other times love them or even feel sad for them. This movie is a must watch. BEST BOLLYWOOD MANTRA - " Om mumbai bollywood staray namah!"

i don't want to give it full 10 stars because it get me emotional.i escape from being emotional often.but this movie does.excellent performances by all actors and actresses especially riya sen.i think she need to come back to movies now more often.she had not seen in movies from long time.its the movie for those who live their life in bollywood or movies.so it will give you goosebumps in many movie scenes especially songs,they are very soulful.it exceeds my expectations.the guy who works in office also played a good character and the man who desire to become actor also gave mazing performance.i enjoyed a movie lot.it will not bore you.i suggest you to watch it in good print,in bluray or in original DVD print or for real experience,in theatre.10/10 stars !

This film is dedicated to all the struggling wanna-be actors who have a deep passion for films. These are ordinary people from all kinds of background, whose only dream is to be given a chance to prove themselves and to make it big in the film industry. Their love for acting makes them invest all their savings, jeopardize their health and even dedicate their last moments alive to the pursuit their dream. Sadly, talent and good looks are not the only requirements to become a famous. In reality, films are a business and the only way to be part of them is to either be an already successful actor or to be born into a family connected to the film industry.

Hats off to Salim Diwan who plays Rohit. He did an excellent job portraying a young lad passionate about film, but with poor acting skills. In the end though, Salim gave a true performance! The end of the film is a wonderful build-up of emotions and the music is beyond perfect.

Bollywood Diaries deserves a 10 stars rating for its honesty in this film tribute to struggling actors trying to make themselves noticed.
