Bollywood

Bollywood is used for the Hindi-language film industry, located in Mumbai, the most populous city in India. The term is incorrectly used to refer to the entire film industry in India; however, it is only a part of it, which includes many other epicenters in other languages. This term, coined in the 1970s, comes from a play on words between Mumbai and Hollywood, the center of the United States film industry.

Although some tourists do not like the use of this word, considering that the term alludes to a parody of Hollywood, this word has become known and is recognized in the Oxford English Dictionary . It was first used in the 1970s by film historian Amit Khanna and journalist Bevinda Collaco.

The combination of Bollywood and filming in languages such as Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada (Kannada) and Malayalam form the core of India's film industry. Bollywood is a fundamental piece of popular culture in India and the rest of the Indian subcontinent.

The most representative characteristic of Bollywood movies are their musical scenes. Typically, each film includes songs and dances typical of the country, mixed with curious western pop choreography. These scenes are always dubbed. This is typical of the tradition of this film industry, in which the scenes are recorded first and then all the dialogues are dubbed (it is a practice that also facilitates the subsequent translation into other languages), which in India (a country multilingual, where sixteen widely spread different languages are spoken) is essential. Bollywood movie music tracks are often produced by well-known artists. Among them are some famous Asians like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, or Westerners like Andrew Lloyd Weber. It is customary for the music of a film to be released on the market months before the film is released. It is a way of promoting the feature film, since, in this way, it is expected with greater interest by the public.

Story about bollywood

Early history

2. Numbered list element

Dadasaheb Phalke's Raja Harishchandra, the first Indian silent film, was released in 1913. In the 1930s the industry produced 200 films a year. The first sound film Alam Ara (1931) was a box office success. This was followed by the first color film Kisan Kanya (1937).

The Golden Age of Bollywood

The golden age of Bollywood cinema is the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Directors Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor made social dramas and released epics Mother India and Mughal-e-Azam. Parallel cinema began in the late 1960s with famous directors Mani Kaul, Govind Nihalani and Shyam Benegal. In the 1970s action movies became popular. Sharmila Tagore, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Anil Kapoor, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha were some of the biggest stars of this era.

Back to romantic movies

In the 80s and 90s the maximum splendor of Bollywood arrived with unforgettable productions and with the rise of the most renowned and recognized actors and actresses of Indian cinema. The genre of romantic musical comedy encompasses most of the productions of this era. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are perhaps the best-known actor couple in Bollywood and the films where they appear together are among the most remembered: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayengue are a great example of the beauty of the actors and the quality of Bollywood.

This is also the time of the rise of the great Khans: the already named Shah Rukh, the renowned Aamir and the new stars Saif Ali and Salman. Salman Khan is precisely the other great star in the Bollywood firmament. With an innumerable list of films to his credit, the diversity of his roles as the co-stars with whom he participates stands out in his performance, being remarkable his participation with Aishwarya Rai (Miss World 1994) in Hum dil de chuke sanam and with Sushmita Sen (Miss Universe 1994) in Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya.

In addition to the aforementioned Kajol, actresses include new stars such as Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Karisma kapoor in Dil To Pagal Hai and Amisha Patel in Kahoo Naa Pyaar Hai. The Miss World 1994 Aishwarya Rai became the international face of Indian cinema in many countries, among her films not only stand out the romantic and drama cut but also action films such as Dhoom 2 . She was also the Indian actress who dabbled in Hollywood.
