Tinsel 2024: Beneath the glitter is the grime. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798892775007)

Tinsel is the story of Mumbai. A story that spans 3 decades of this ruthless metropolis with no boundaries.

No boundaries between good and bad, honest and corrupt, cops and gangsters, politicians and businessmen, prostitutes and artistes, sex and adultery.

It follows the lives and travails of three friends fighting against all odds in this crime, glamour, and financial capital.

Tinsel is a story that can be woven only by a person who has lived that life in Mumbai. Most people who lived that life have not lived long enough to tell the story. Even those who managed to survive have not been articulate enough.

Having lived in and being well versed with the murky underbelly of this magnificently decadent city, Manoj Vaz has woven a hard-hitting story about the times and crimes of three friends who were trying to do the impossible... Survive!
