Got Bollywood?
Bollywood? You ask, have you misspelled Hollywood? Bollywood is a new emerging film industry in India. It is the largest film industry in the world and releases more than 600 films in more than 10 languages. Although it got its name from Bombay (now Mumbai) and Hollywood-Bollywood, the movies made in Bollywood are nothing like your typical Hollywood movies. Bollywood movies are called spice movies, which literally means "spicy movies", consisting of a series of long and eloquent songs, a triangle of humor, thrill, and love. Movies often have magical elements such as star-studded lovers, love triangles, angry parents, family relationships and good luck, both emotional and physical sacrifices for lovers, corrupt politicians who seem to own everything. Newborn kidnappers, gold and ammunition smugglers, thugs, dressed villains, gold, relatives, and twins' hearts are separated by courtly fate or villain, dramatic reversal of fate and events, and easy Coincidences make the film very attractive to the public. Movies are made to please people but some films try to set new trends.
Bollywood is popular not only in India but also among English-speaking countries and Indian immigrants in the Middle East. Russia and Japan also have a large fan base of Hindi films, especially Raj Kapoor and Rajinikanth.
Bollywood music is called 'movie music'. In this scene, the stars were listening to the pre-recorded song. Playback singers are more popular than average stars and have a large number of fans who often go to the movies to listen to the song of their favorite singer. Kishore Kumar has a huge fan base and official fan club not only in India but all over the world where Bollywood movies are popular. The lyrics are written by professional poets, not singers.
Like lyrics, there are "dialogues" that are written to satisfy the masses. If you're watching a movie in the theater, don't surprise people by throwing a "coin" on the screen when their cute star offers a dialogue like "Katte, tera khan pi jayoga", which means, "Bloody dog! "I'll do it. Suck your blood."
Aspiring stars come from all over India to try their luck and become one of the biggest celebrities in Bollywood. Some of them are former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai, former bus conductor Rajni and former chef Akshay Kumar, and Shah Rink Khan. Bollywood loves their star and gossip.
Like Bollywood, there are Kollywood, Tollywood, and Lollywood, which get their names from Hollywood and major Indian cities where they shoot films in the regional language.
Like the Oscars, Bollywood has its own set of awards and events. Zee Awards, IIFA Awards are very popular and are often celebrated outside India.
In the latest trend, there is a growing number of Bollywood movies that are taking on video rental stores in the US like a blockbuster. So what are you waiting for? Rent some good movies like "Hum Aap Ke Hain Koun" (1994) and "Dil Wale Dilhaniya Le Jayenge" (1995) and immerse yourself in the magical world of Bollywood.
