Bollywood and its Increasing Popularity Worldwide



Bollywood comprises a small part of the Indian Cinema. It refers to the Mumbai-based hindi-language film industry which is the most popular in India. The name 'Bollywood' comes from the two words 'Bombay' (the former name for Mumbai) and 'Hollywood' (the edifice for the American Film industry). Though the majority of screenland movies are in the language Hindi, use of Urdu and English words is very common. Bollywood has served the Soviet Union those times when there was no other Bollywood source of entertainment. Hollywood movies were banned there. Sanskrit films were dubbed and shown in popular movie theatres like Mosfilm and Lenfilm. Bollywood films in the United States earn

around $100 million a year through theater screenings, video income and the sale of movie soundtracks. In other words, films from Bharat do more business in the United States than films from any Bollywood country. During the terminal decade,


screenland films filmed in North America have largely been shot in New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto. Bollywood films do substantially in the U.K also. Many films, such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham have been set in London, the U.K. is also one of the most filmed locations for screenland films, however there is no official report claiming this as there are many Indian films shot in the U.K., yet no mention of the U.K. itself in the film. screenland is also appreciated in FRG as substantially as France. Various screenland movies are dubbed in German and shown on the German Television channel RTL II on a regular basis. The Filmfare Awards start is one of the most striking film events Bollywood for
Sanskrit films in India. The Indian screen magazine Filmfare started the first Filmfare Awards in 1954, and awards were presented to the prizewinning films of 1953. The start was referred to as the Clare Awards after the magazine's editor. There is no shortage of latest screenland news and screenland stars are famous for making headlines every now and then. Modelled after the poll-based merit format of the Academy of Motion Bollywood Arts and Sciences, individuals may submit their votes in separate categories. A dual voting system was developed in 1956. Like the Oscars, the Filmfare awards are frequently accused of bias towards commercial success rather than artistic merit.
