  • Wow nice shoot.. Let me tell you different Mumbai areas captured in the video:

    1. 0:01 to 0:18: Vashi

    2. 0:19 to 1:20: That's vashi creek and kanjur mangroves

    3. 1:21 to 2:05 : Eastern expressway followed by big industrial area of Godrej then vikroli area.

    4. 2:05 to : Here starts all the slum area. Well uploader it's not Dharavi slum. It's an ares nearby Kurla and Ghatkoper.

    It's really sad, this is the first impression of Mumbai outsiders get. Administration must do something :(.

  • Sad that human beings live in such condition.  India has a very low average life expectancy because of hunger and lack of hygiene.

  • Now there are quite a few slums in Mumbai which are bigger then Dharavi now. These are 1)Nehru Nagar, 2) Kurla-Ghatkopar belt 3) Mankhurd-Gorandhi belt 4) Yogi and Yeor hill slopes. No wonder 78% population of Mumbai lives in slums.

  • all slums should be nuked without delay!

  • Indians have to learn from east asians, like JAPAN, KOREA, SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, HONG KONG , can't we build highways, and nice tall skyscapers like them and make our country prosper??

  • @Sasukekillsitachi

    We can, but why don't we teach our politicians to be such assholes? We have money, but we never spend it on stuff like that. The politician eat it up.

  • @Sasukekillsitachi

    thats only a dream in this country !!! we mite c more slums then highways n skyscrappers in the future........

    bt still people r proud of it........ so cant help...

  • the problem is too many indians are fucking each other creating babies!!

    All the 10 % growth economic prosperity they keep talking about is fuckk all if they can sustain a population which has no space to live and choke the infrastructure

    Indian smell and look like rats ! thats their speciality apart from computers

  • Breathing the air in Mumbai, India for just ONE DAY, is equivalent to smoking 2.5 packs of cigarettes.

  • check my vids!!!there awsome

  • actually, asias largest slum is in PAKISTAN, KARACHI. not mumbai.

  • @yoyoyo1418

    BS, the largest slums per UN in Asia are in India and rapidly expanding.

  • @yoyoyo1418 have u ever been there?

  • You are landing on Runway 27 coming from the east and Dharavi Slums is to your left !

  • Capital of mumbai Dharavi... ha ha ha

  • @SenGupta2

    stockholm syndrome jews started loving germans after all the persecution gratefull that atleast they were spared to live ,. how liitle it takes to make opressed for centuries poor people not expecting any human dignity

  • i'm not tyring to do anything..i'm stating an obvious fact. people who degrade others and belittle others do it because of their own insecurity and own personal problems with inferiority..everyone has good in them..instead of spending time finding the good in other nations and other cultures, u focus on the bad in order to make yourself feel better..it's really pathetic.

  • unloved, unhappy people degrade people whenever they get a chance for no good reason..just because u don't admit things like that, doesn't mean people cannot notice by the things u say..you're an open book and u don't even know it..just look real hard at the things you've typed on this comment section..deeply degrading, insulting, racist, classist, words..all to boost your self esteem. u make it too obvous.

  • conworldus said it best..u are unloved, unhappy..u know that, but, you'll never admit that's the reason why u are a degrading prick.

  • hey kids...get a life. there is more to it than just stupid conversation. the truth is out there for every sane person to see. so just beat it. think how to make this world a better place to live.

  • You are retarded buddy. I clearly typed USD.  You are blind.

  • GDP per capita:

    Hong Kong 42,000 USD

    Sydney: 38,000 USD

    Conclusion: you lose

  • well it is definitely better than that shithole called "Sydney" :)

  • Also there is a huge different between Vietnam and India, unless you suffer from blindness. There are plenty of magnificent Asian cities, such as Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, etc.

  • The only one inferior is you, kid. You are unloved and unhappy so you have to belittle others to feel superior. I feel sorry for you. RIP

  • Gook is a racist term against Vietnamese. This is India.  You are pretty stupid.

  • this is not the dharavi slum. it is ghatkopar! update ur knowledge gunjan! and dont speak if u dont know.

  • Virgin Atlantic

  • Indian government has promised that mumbai will be slum free in 2014!

  • had been to this city more then ten times. i like it

  • The main problems are the population explosions, no social system in place and these slums will still be there even humans start to live on Mars.

  • Comment removed

  • ptrontoguy 's fact is all wrong,dont belileve to him,he know nothin abt this country,saying which is in his mind without any knowledge !

  • Why the people of mumbai allow the slums to develop , why cant they develop the free land into forrest and green belt , bangalore fines tax to people who try to grab the land , while mumbai gives them free elect supply and in turn they made the city as dirtiest

  • OH WOW. look at the POLLUTION below the clouds! my god, the smog is just crazy!

  • i love it

  • Oh Shining Slumdian.. Indian dont like to see their real face han.. Number 1 city in prostitution..Number 1 country in the world in Aids..Number 1 country in the word for human body parts sale..Sham on you Slumdian..Stop aids.. and give some life to your people. Stop looking into other houses. Open your eyes.

  • you are idiot,dont know anything you mindless stupid!if dont know anything,then nothin say!

  • Didn't like the truth han typical indian. I know every thingh because i used to live in india and i know bombay very well where you killed a guy in bus because he was bihari.. rememberd. rapped hundreds of christian nuns. Congratulates on gay marriage now. Yakhhhhhhhh dirty soil

  • Comment removed

  • this must be the hell on earth :(

  • Maybe this whole earth is a hell?

  • these slums will soon be replaced by high rises. thanks to govt effort. we should unite and try to develope mumbai as a world class city. but make sure that MNS does't create a barrier. they are very selfish and dividing INDIA.

  • Welcome to incredible Slumdia.

  • You all should talk nicer, it doesn't help the people who are living like that.

    I can only wish their political people could get their greedy hands out of their selfish pockets and help the people live in better shelter, like real homes and real food.

    It's a shame this goes on, and not a lot of people here in the USA knows about what goes on in other countries.

    Our own governement and news people don't bother to tell us what goes on over there.

    Why isn't your own politicians helping?

  • Cause it's the responsibility and problem of YOUR country....

  • stupid pakistani have brains of pigs, thats why they think like pig. asholeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss

  • Very cool landing video. The planes passes so close over Dharavi. The slum is also located just NEXT to the airport. Just like one of the scene of the movie at the beginning when they are playing baseball.

  • A nuke would do it for the whole city :)

    Love from Pakistan

    I n the form of nukes hahahahha

  • you dont even need a nuke, why waste one.

  • A cluster bomb should do it!!

  • WTF!! people who live in slums are still human beings!! .. ur fking insensitive!

  • haha you talking shit and you don´t notice it. poor little boy.

  • I am so happy that Slumdog Millionaire casts a light on the Dharavi slums that was not here before...

  • how can u say slums are livin with harmony ??

    this poverty causes nothi but inequality and crime ........... and if people like danny boyle makin money out of somebody else's poverty is totally unfair plus if people think the film will boost tourism(of slums) i think its just much more sad and ashaming!!

    i dont care how many thmbs down i get....

  • SHiNING INDIA! JAI HO!!! HAHAHA...fucking amitabh bachan don't want to accept it. thank you danny boyle for exposing this to the word, as the bollywood ignoramuses would rather let these people live in filth for eternity than making india another USA or Japan.

  • i would like to live in a slum for a day just for expierience, because its the total opposite from my life.

  • Well done - good shot. I think it's the most thrilling part of flying; when the plane prepares for landing.

    And those slums are quite big!

    Anyway, from air Mumbai isn't looking that big. Guess every city is looking small from air :-)

  • Wow that's quite something. I never realised the scale of these slums they have India. They're pretty big areas.

  • its better than ur future-less nation!

    PAKISTAN!

  • Stop bashing the guy, man.

    Let him shit-talk.

    We're better than that =P

  • mumbai's 60% population lives in slums. this is reality

  • this is not Asians largest slum, its in Karachi

  • still inida is the best

  • Kya India is the best ?

    it's really sad to see this shit going on. The government is a bunch of corrupt old hags.

    I'm an Indian too but I'm not neccessarily proud of these slums or the infrastructure problems India faces today.

  • @dmitri00

    I am sad too. And I am sad to see people with a negative attitude. Wake up. Our government is controlled by the people. We can all work together to free the poor out of poverty.

  • i didnt know u can use the camera on a plane

  • This Guy Gunjandoshi, seems to be an Indian who if offered some money would even expose his home and family...By the way,I am an Indian too. Arent you ashamed that you are titling your post BIGGEST SLUM. Shame on you to think so low about a city that is so great...

  • I think this place isn´t Dharavi, but "Ghatkopar", near of Dharavi slum.

  • The slums and modern buildings certainly are in close proximity, nearly abutting one another; I doubt there is complete harmony. Makes one have an appreciation for municipal zoning regulations.

    British Airways flight, I'm guessing by the tip of the wing.

    Beautiful landing, very smooth; winds must've been negligible.

  • You may doubt there is perfect harmony, because the ppl of the "Western world" aren't used to living in nearly as tight quarters as ppl in India do. It's something everyone is used to here (in India) and for the most part it is quite amazing at the level of cohesion.

  • Your negativity is utterly useless.

    Must be a Paki.

  • "Asia's largest slum" has a GDP of $650million USD.

  • this fucking foreigners come n stay in a shit place of 2 usd a day n behaves like fucking king,2 d fucker who posted it he shud know the landvalue of this ASIA LARGEST SLUM,a yard is 2000usd or more n 40%of our population stays thr so...! imagine ?can uur ancestors to ur whole genaration can never see is value .so keep ur fuckin mouth shut ,eyes and hands.If u visit next time go n stay in a place tht cost atleast 20usd

  • foreigners are fucking assholes I agree with you 100% my friend

  • There needs to be a multilateral organisation that buys lands in places that dont need it and build multicultural cities that are independant from the country that host them (though receive first quality intelligence reports on what is going on)

  • really? which bloody country doesnt have poverty? which government doesnt ignore its poor? ur living in a joke world dude. wake up and see the world for what it is rather than what you choose you want to see.

  • yeah his idea is stupid and he needs to wake up in the real world.

  • Mumbai now has some of the the most expensive property in the world just a hop, skip and a jump away from that shithole.

    CAPITALISM..WHAT A JOKE.

  • f**kin hell.......its huuuuuuuuuuuuge...I hope redevelopment starts soon.

  • why r u showin the slums so that westerners can make fun of india? u should show the skyline instead.

  • mumbai's 60% population lives in slums. this is reality

  • @punecityguy not 60% but 40%

  • @punecityguy

    no. Much less. More like 30%

  • Relax Dude,ive been to dharavi many times,and seen the leather industry and the awesome spirit of the people there compared to the hoplessness of teh American Ghetto

  • maybe you deserve that. I mean mockery. Truth never changes even you try to hide it. Your goverment ignores the poors and povery and they deserve to be laughed at. Future superpower my ass :)

    The truth, the misery of your country is clearly visable from air.

  • I am Afghan and I love India and my dream is to go to Mumbai one day but you know what I hate Pakistan and ( Shaitan Ka Dosra Name hai pakistan )

  • teray baap ka dosra nam hai pakistan aasteen k saanp (snake)

  • er no

  • before you start slaging down india your fucking lucky you got a little bit of OUR land or there wouldnt have been a county called paki land lmao you need to go back to school...........

  • Ha ha ha! Pakistan is best! Ha ha ha ha... Joke of the year!

  • India have better airports then pakistan!pakistan is a fucking poor country! haha LOL! Fuck you fucking dickhead!

  • Make tht World's COSTLIEST Slum!!an ordinary slum in Mumbai sells at an astronomical sum,Mumbai is the city tht never sleeps and never stops!It's definately on the move!

  • whatever the hell hole our city is we will never talk bad abt it . like ppl do not bad mouth their countries! bbay is not presentable . indians get intimidated even by kuala lumpur!

  • Look at Favela da Rocinha and see the largest slum area in the whole world

  • we indians are frogs in well...all this hype abt mumbai us nonsense...we haven't seen foreign cities that's why we talk like that..

  • we kinda have,and inspite of that we LOVE the city. you probably haven't and have your own views.. ask people who do and they'll tell u how awesome bbay is. it may not be as presentable but hey- we're getting there!

  • u knw wat it doesnt matter how ur city or country is like.

    We like it and love it coz we have memories attached with it and dis is wat we have grown in n dat attachment is bigger than any luxury :)

  • nice video!

    anyway pz remove all the crap comment from this video!

  • there is no Dharavi in this...if u notice the plane passes over water and then lets of green areas....there are no green areas anywhere near dharavi...its much more likely to be chunnabhatti and Chembur.

  • you are right, its not dharavi - dharavi is south of the airport near mahim. but its not even chunabhatti or chembur.

    the plane seems to be flying south from vasai-virar straight to the runway, no turns anywhere. the shanties are the ones in santacruz.

  • Asia but not the world?

  • there can only be one superpower at a given time. presently it is the united states. next, china, next china again. india can not be a superpower because china will always be better than them. always ten steps ahead, always better in every area.

  • Yea, anyway! Whatever the 'haters' have to say about Mumbai, I still consider going there regardless.

  • You should not have electrical equipment on during landing.

  • Its a camera, you can have them on you moron

  • No you fucking cant you fucking retard, all electrical equipment is supposed to be switched off, very clear that your not an experienced traveller.

  • All electrical equipment?

    Oh that explains why the sell small radios and shit on planes...

    The only electrical device you need to switch off is your cellphone, wich sends out mHz frecrencys that dissables the cockpit.

  • lol dissables the cockpit... Who told you that joke? If that would happend every plan would crash or emergency land. There is always a dude or two that forgets to turn it off or just wont... You should look up the real reason and be surprised

  • what does Dharavi mean?

  • Dharavi is a location infact name of a location where this biggest slum in asia is

  • mumbai is so disgusting - its unbelievable - the whole city is a garbage dump...

  • in order to live in mumbai you must have guts.how many years did you spent?you will not even survie here as you probably never learn how to in difficult life situations.

  • sadly i totally agree with you...

  • you should be shot...

  • Wow!! ....The same bunch that destroyed this world sells tech India like Sweden .

    They lied to me, again.

  • Some people say the largest Asian slum is in Pakistan's coastal city of Karachi.

  • Karachi is pakistan's slum capital. Mumbai is Asia's slum capital. Thankfully Delhi has far fewer slums :-)

  • the kibera district of Nairobi is the largest slum in the world, followed by dharavi and then karachi's Orangi district

  • Hey, if there are that many slum areas in india is because Westerners and more particular England had something to do with it, don't u think? we can't forget the goods england took, or better said STOLE from India. Anbd they thought they were bringin civilization, yeah right!!! all they cared about was taking as much richness as they could.

  • You think the Hindu religion and the whole caste system thing might have something to do with all of the slums, or is it easier to blame it on westerners???

  • Maybe both. I've heard that the Mughals took upto 1/3 of income from their kingdom for their own expenses. Did they screw up India too? There are a million factors. Trying to pinpoint one is stupid. The best thing to do now is to MOVE ON and prosper again.

  • holy shit. it was so close at the end that I thought the plane was going to land in a slum!!! hahahaha maybe they would use poor peoples roofs for a runway!! hah rofL!!

  • In ten years American cities will look like this...but the folks in the vast slums will still vote for the Republicans though

  • shut the fuck everybody little idiots ,stupid tourist ,stay at home instead next time.i been in india a year and i love that-stay at home all you

  • Must be terrible for the people living right by the runway. These scenes are horrible. Then again theres teh India thats a super economy at the world stage.

  • people r living in runway field.. bahut na-insafi hay!!!

  • this video is so nice, how could i save it, am working on dharavi. please can i have a link or help. thanks

  • fuk all who focus on the poverty alone. There's always 2 sides to a coin. I do think however that when we got our independence in 47, the country in general wasn't ready for democracy. In order for democracy to work, u need social awareness. We should've followed China's model. Give democracy little by little. Oh well, India is getting better year by year at a very fast rate!

  • I am Indian n i gotta say its a frikin insult to me wen ppla call india and asian country!! we're Subcontinental, East Indian!! Not in the asian Catagory!! our culture is compltel different from other asain countries east of us!!

  • Idiot, the continents are named not by looking culture. Have you heard of GEOGRAPHY?

  • lmao.. think you're better than asians?

    lol I think NOT, ok ok ok, YOOUU are NOT ASIAN. BUT the rest of India IS.

  • this is the true face of India...they should show this in the bollywood films...instead of showing london sights etc show us the filth of mumbai ...reality!!!! wake up and smell the coffee or in this instance the cowshit!!!!!

  • So apparently there are Alien ships flying around in US everyday ??? ...I have seen a lot Hollywood movies like that. The joke is on you to take a piece of theatre as documentary.

  • Shut up and go SNIFF your BALLS you biig racist cunt!!

  • Bollywood has shown this.. Go see movies like Footpath or Traffic Signal.. Do not show ur ignorance.. Speak only when u have complete knowledge of the subject or else keep ur mouth shutt.. u get tht?? SHUT...

  • Indians MUST change if India is ever to be a true superpower. Give a thought... where do millions of shanty dwellers excrete daily? Why are the streets treated like a spitoon, painted red? Is there any traffic sense... cars driven with side view mirrors folded? Except the educated, Indians never say 'Please' or 'Thank you'. Manners are taught at home, not school. Don't blame it on education. I'm proud to be an Indian, but we have a lot to learn before we're truly superpower.

  • The smell of India is simply revolting. People crap in the streets. India is only in the position of power it is in because of it's sheer number of people, no more.

  • to dare4444, india doesnt look like a garbage dump. Its only that the western media shows the ...

  • bad places of india. They just want u to have a bad image of india.Yeah, believe it or not mumbai is like London. Probably better. Atleast we r not the 1 who just occupy some1 else's land (iraq and afghanistan).We have the worlds 3rd largest army. we have newspapers in 23 languages that is read by more than 30 million people. MORE THAN THE POPULATION OF UK. We have the biggest pool of engineers, doctors and architects.

  • We have more cars in our street than the population of UK. coming to English, india has the largest english speaking population.We have the 4th largest purchasing power.Indian movies make more money than Hollywood movies.We have reached the moon, but to u, india looks like garbage, eh? India is Shining!

  • ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY TRUUUUEEE. BTW I AM NOT INDIAN!!

    it's just that what bhaskar is saying is FACT.. YOU just jelous, cos most westerners nowadays are power hungry war mongers.. that they are unable to compete with countries like Japan or India..

    PEACE OUW BIYOOOTCH.

  • fucking uk!!!!

    fucking uk!!!!

    fucking uk!!!!

    fucking uk!!!!

  • On your return flight? BA doesn't fly Goa to Bombay!?

  • Good long video,

    But there are more things than just the Dharavi. Mumbai never looked so green and surprisingly the areas of Vikhroli and Powai are quite good to look at too!!

    I love this city!!

    Cheers!

  • hey u brit fucker leave us alone or we gonna screw u motherland

  • question, if the Brits are such dumbasses, how did they manage to colonize your entire massive country with 20,000 soldiers?

  • pwn3d.

  • Yo British 1216, shut the fuck up. India got problems, but Indians are ten times smarter than the dumbasses found in the UK. A dumbass like u would probably say 4+4 equals 44, but every Indian knows that it is 8. Leave India the fuck alone, u stupid shit.

  • if indians r so smart then why whole india looks like a garbage dump? don't screw UK or USA coz then you won't have outsourcing jobs(you are dying for it).haha we indians are like frog in a well with our inflated egos :))

  • Yo, niga who the fuck are you? Meet me face to face and your face won't be recognizable after that. And, son, if u Indian, go kill urself. Uneducated dumbass.

  • truth hurts? mumbai is no.10 on world cities scale.singapore comes in on no.2 and new york , london , paris , tokyo no.1.if mumbai is so hi tech as you people say why per capita income is only $5600? and why police , schools , health systems are sub standard?

  • almost all the inventions have been done by western world Today we indians use american technology , we want their jobs , follow their culture and still hate/curse them,this is because indians have inferiority complex and this shows haha arrogant

  • UK has always been independent. UK sucked out everything from India and left India with an empty tank. Within 60 years, look at the progress India has made. It is unprecendednted. Look at American gowth from 1776- 1836. Don't worry. India is gone screw u and ur country in the next 50 years. Go on the goldmansachs website and check out the video about BRIC COUNTRIES. U motherfuckers are undeducated. Go fuck urself.

  • yeah. india with china are the two fastest growing economies in the world. fuck the firangis

  • america is the greatest nation in the world and they don't even make all that hype of it .you are dumbass when you said indians are 10 times more intelligent than british . how is that ?do they have bigger brain? before british came to india indians were sleeping in khatias and using lotas lol

  • pretty coll vid thanks for posting
