How do you cross a road in India without being run over? Or negotiate with an unreasonable auto rickshaw driver in Mumbai? A Swedish duo has acquired a large fan following in India after tickling people with their astutely observed, funny videos on Indian oddities.

Driven by their passion for acting and love for Bollywood, Stockholm residents 25-year-old Johan Bartoli and 26-year-old Hampus Bergqvist came to Mumbai 10 months ago to try their luck in the Indian film industry. The two met while studying at university, and discovered they were both "film freaks" who liked a bit of adventure.

"At the end of our studies, we both wanted to do something crazy, different and challenging with our lives," Bartoli told Mashable. "Since we both have a passion for acting, we decided to shift to Mumbai and try to make it in Bollywood." The two had seen a few Bollywood films, including the iconic romance Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, which convinced them to try their luck in the Hindi film industry.

In their 10 months in Mumbai, the two friends have bagged some unusual roles, playing Spanish gold hunters, Russian hippies, colonial-era British officers and even fanatics. Their acting credits extend to appearances in India's melodramatic television soaps, as well as several television ads.

However, it's their sketches on the oddities of life in Mumbai that have struck a chord with viewers in India. In some videos, Bartoli and Bergqvist mimic Indian auto rickshaw drivers and and vegetable sellers.

Their breakout video was a short clip in which Bergqvist played an auto rickshaw driver who refuses passengers unless they agree to his asking price. "After uploading it, we saw the response we realized how much the crowd here loved it. So we decided to start making more funny videos," Bartoli and Bergqvist said. "Now I think we will continue making them mostly because it is so much fun. We sit and brainstorm ideas and when we feel we have something we just go out on the streets of Mumbai and shoot it."

Other videos take a self-deprecatory look at their own challenges as newcomers in Mumbai. Foreigners vs Indians in Mumbai traffic captures their struggle in crossing a road in the midst of heavy incoming traffic. After watching an Indian man cross with ease, they try do it themselves, but fail.

Their humour clearly resonates with Indian viewers. Over 417,000 people follow their antics on the Facebook page '2 Foreigners in Bollywood', with each sketch getting thousands of likes and shares. They also have 31,000 followers on Instagram.

"Our experiences so far in Bollywood have been amazing. There are both ups and downs, but we have loved it all the way and will continue doing so," the duo said. "There is a lot of hard work behind a role, you have to go through the whole selection process with auditions, meetings etc. So we are really working full time here every day and following our dreams."
