Documentary looking behind the scenes of the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, India’s oldest and most famous hotel, where the super rich are waited on in luxurious surroundings. When it opened in 1903, the Taj Mahal Palace was the first hotel in India and the first to have air conditioning, electricity and a licensed bar. This obsession with the new continues with the hotel’s deputy General Manager Parveen hosting Christie”s first ever auction of Indian art in India – the hope is that Mumbai”s super-rich will break a world sales record.
