What is bollywood ?Actually,Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, Maharashtra.And now ,it has become the world largest movie industry which is no longer Hollywood but Bollywood.I can't even believe that.But who knows, Indians are so in love with movies,music and dance.Probably, that is why the movie industry in Indian grows so fast.
I bet I have never watched any movies produced in India before and I am curious about that .
Bollywood films are mostly musicals, and are expected to contain catchy music in the form of song-and-dance numbers woven into the script. A film's success often depends on the quality of such musical numbers. Indeed, a film's music is often released before the movie itself and helps increase the audience. (from wikipedia)The first Indian sound film, Ardeshir Irani's Alam Ara (1931)
Since it is a huge success and then more and more sound films have been produced since then.
I watch part of the Indian movie (Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak)
from youtube
However, I feel pretty sad as I cant understand the lyrics while reading all the nice comments from people in YouTube.Yeah,but still I think its a good try though.But it definitely reflects the culture in India even though it is just a short video.But I guess I still pefer the movies from the Hollywood.:)
