I wouldn’t be surprised if they force the “Bombay Rockers” to change their name too.
There would be hardly anyone who has been living in Mumbai and not come across the Shiv-Sainiks. Their fetish for their choice of language in Maharashtra is well known too. So much so that they can go to any extent to have their word.
Now, I can understand one’s love for his homeland, his state and his mother tongue. I myself am a Maharashtrian, and love my language. But you don’t see me publishing this blog in Marathi, do you ?

Sounds good ?
Some of the sainiks, however, have had a special fetish for the name “Mumbai“. They had the name of Bombay changed to Mumbai. Then “Bombay Central” was changed to “Mumbai Central”. And now, the sainiks are behind the immensely popular school, Bombay Scottish. Apparently, they want the school to change the name to Mumbai Scottish.
If they have their way here too, although I so hope they don’t, let’s just take a look at what could be next in line.
- Bombay Stock Exchange
- Bombay Gymkhana
- Bombay Duck ( the fish )
- Bombay to Goa ( the movie )
So here’s fiftypaise to sainiks, it’ll help them in their stupid efforts.

Mollywodd is not taken yet.. Madras industry is called Kollywood no idea where hey got ‘K’ from (Karunanidhi anyone?)
Watz malayalam industry called?
This sounds atrocious!!!!
@Balu
The Tamil industry got its name Kollywood as the film industry is concentrated at KODAMBAKKAM.
And mallu film industry has no unofficial official name like bollywood or kollywood.
But, since all other sates has names, so therez a talk like MalluWood or MollyWood.
I can understand their effort to call bombay then to mumbai now
But hell this is ridiculious…last year they had morcha against Bombay blues in vashi and now its closed!
why force to change established brands name when they are doing fine with it.
mollywood is more of mallu, though its not official
Most of the newspapers use MollyWood for Kerala Movies.
I really dont understand the logic behinds these *woods.
Anyways Madras became Chennai and Calcutta became Kolkata bust stuff like this is taking it to extreme.
