Mumbai: Ten short films with themes as diverse as love and gang war have been sewn together into a new Bollywood movie, as a traditional industry experiments with new formats.

Dus Kahaniyaan (ten stories) brings together 12 writers, six directors and some of the Hindi film industry's top actors such as Sanjay Dutt, Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi.

The films are about, among other themes, marital blues, illicit relationships, bold love and Mumbai's underworld.

"This is the first time an Indian movie is trying to be different in its approach to cinema," director and producer Sanjay Gupta said on Wednesday.

After decades of serving three-hour-long formulaic cinema, Bollywood filmmakers are being forced by a maturing audience to reconsider their style and content.

One of the shorts, Strangers in the Night, narrates how two strangers meet and become physically close, only to be left emotionally devastated.

In Matrimony, another short, loneliness drives a rich businessman's wife into an extramarital affair. Dus Kahaniyaan is scheduled to open on November 23.
