Los Angeles and Mumbai are the world’s major industrial cities that revolve around the glamorous world of filmmaking. While Los Angeles is the hub of Hollywood, Mumbai is the center of Bollywood. However, in recent years, Hollywood and Bollywood have had collaborations that marked a lively change in the hearts of filmmakers and film lovers. Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra took the initiative to work in Hollywood films. In contrast, the Dutch singer Emma Heester has worked in parts of Bollywood. Therefore, we must clearly understand the time difference between these two cities that provides stability and prosperity to both Hollywood and Bollywood. 

PACIFIC STANDARD TIME VS. INDIAN STANDARD TIME 

Mumbai follows the Indian Standard Time, 12 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Los Angeles in California, which follows the Pacific Standard Time. Hollywood and Bollywood are drastically different, and so are the time zones. If it is 12:00 PM in Mumbai when the film industry is working hard, it is 11:30 AM at night (the previous day) in Los Angeles when the world is getting ready to sleep. Following both cities’ extreme time patterns, communication can become a challenge. However, there is a solution if careful planning and action are executed. 

TRICK OF EVENINGS AND MORNINGS 

Adjustment is the key to coordination between Los Angeles and Mumbai. The best solution remains that at a time, one city has to be willing to be the early bird and get in action around 6:00 AM to communicate with the other city where the sun will be setting. Like this, both parties can take turns being the early bird and adjusting patiently to the time of others. One city may often have to work in the daytime while the other works at midnight. Although challenges arise due to inconvenience, we must remember to plan accordingly, seeing the time difference to make Hollywood and Bollywood a hit globally.
