Bollywood Pictures
This means elaborate costumes, a lot of singing, and meticulously choreographed It is also known to Bollywood audiences that a film’s success greatly depends on the quality of the musical numbers they present. As known by those who enjoy international film sampling once in a while, Bollywood pictures are mostly musicals. India started making films in 1913 (the first being “Raja Harishchandra” a full-length silent feature film) and by three more decades, 200 Bollywood pictures were being produced in a year!Instead, ‘Bollywood’ is a portmanteau word derived form ‘Bombay’ and ‘Hollywood’ which is used to refer to India’s movie industry. There is no Beverly Hills counterpart in India or a mountain which displays big, white letters that spell ‘BOLLYWOOD’ to mark the country’s entertainment center. Perhaps the common thing between Hollywood and Bollywood is that they’re both the entertainment capitals of nations that have a huge movie-loving crowd. History No, Bollywood is not what you’d expect it to be, as its name suggests.
But what most people do not know is that Bollywood is a burgeoning film industry with a reputation of producing an impressive number of 1000 feature films a year. For those who may not be well-versed in the international film circuit, the closest encounter they may have had with Bollywood pictures are Hollywood knock-offs such as “The Guru” and the yet to be released “The Love Guru,” both movies tampering with Indian culture with less than flattering representations. We all know that Hollywood is out of story ideas and is adopting scripts from Asian film hits.
