Bollywood is actually the same thing as what you would have guessed, Hollywood, except it is not all about the movies and celebrities in the United States of America. It is actually about the hot new things that is going on in India. Bollywood is the Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry
in India. The term Bollywood was created by combining Bombay which is the city now called
Mumbai and Hollywood which of course we know is the famous center of the United States film
industry.
Bollywood World believes that Bollywood is considered to be the largest in the
world in terms of number of films produced, and possibly also the number of
tickets sold. "Bollywood films are usually musicals. Few movies are made without at least
one song-and-dance number. Indian audiences expect full value for their
money; they want songs and dances, love interest, comedy and dare-devil
thrills, all mixed up in a three hour long extravaganza with intermission.
Such movies are called masala movies, after the spice mixture masala. Like
masala, these movies have everything. The plots are often melodramatic. They frequently employ formulaic
ingredients such as star-crossed lovers, corrupt politicians, twins
separated at birth, conniving villains, angry parents, courtesans with
hearts of gold, dramatic reversals of fortune, and convenient coincidences."
Bollywood dancing is an important part to their movies. If the music in the film is not very good, sometimes the movie will not sell because of this. Bollywood dancing is actually the name for modern Indian dancing. This is a
combination of classical Indian dance, which is the base and folk dancing such
as Bhangra and sometimes has a Latino and Arabic influence. The dance is very expressive and fun, there's a lot of deep meaning behind music in the films.
You can actually express what the music means, through the graceful
movements of the body.
