In 1996, for some time, Naseer Sheikh, a video parlor proprietor and a small city of Malegaon near Nashik in Maharashtra started a grand mission. Killing a ragtag team of friends, he began directing a series of classic films, which was rigging a camcorder behind a bicycle to use as a doli mount. Movies – Doubly entertaining to be cheaply entertaining – gave birth to a local cottage industry, which is colloquially known as Milollywood. A ₹ 50,000 investment (usually borrowed by family and friends) will get a return of ₹ 2 lakh to Sheikh: 300% profit.
