Become a star in a Bollywood movie (INDIA)
You wanted to become a star in Hollywood but found it was difficult enough even to find a role as ‘the man passing by’ ? Then try your chance in Bollywood!
Bollywood is a term used to describe the Indian film industry, the largest in the world in terms of film production. In 1990 India produced 800+ films (more than two a day). Bollywood’s cinema going audience, in India, Pakistan and elsewhere is also one of the biggest in the world. Just like Hollywood, Bollywood, has a group of large studios and some huge stars, capable of making expensive, commercial movies. It has an extensive cannon of films spanning the twentieth century and a collection of movies regarded as classics. It also has a thriving independents sector which caters for a more art-house audience.
Like any film industry Bollywood is diverse in its out put. However there are certain traits that are commonly associated with Bollywood movies. These include:
The importance of the Star system - including, in the past, the domination of only one or two actors
Extensive use of other performance arts especially singing and dancing.
The use of mythological and theological characters, particularly Gods and Deities - many popular Bollywood films, particularly earlier in the century took their stories from religion and folklore.
Long epic romances
Large studio sets with elaborate decoration.
Elaborate and brightly coloured costume.
