Bollywood is the name given to Indian cinema industry based with Mumbai (Bombay) and whose films are carried out in Hindî and in Ourdou. It is about the most popular component of the Indian Cinéma, most important in the world of many made films. The films of Bollywood, diffused in all India, are exported in the whole world.

The origin of the term

The term “Bollywood” is a Mot-valise created by combining the name “Bombay” - from now on called Mumbai - and that of another symbol of cinema industry, in fact American: “Hollywood”. Employed in occident, this term nevertheless is very badly connoted in India.

Films

The films made most of the time in Hindî generally comprise several musical and danced numbers. They have their own internal logic and can be as surrealist as musical films produced by the American or European studios. The music, generally preregistered and mimée by the actors ( singing Playback ), agrees with precision to the scenario. Professional singers make the postsynchronization of the voices but one observes a new tendency with actors singing themselves the sung parts, like Aamir Khan in Ghulam . The films of Bollywood very often comprise melodramatic stories of love of an extreme decency. As in Africa, the actors (especially actresses) often clear up the dye, a clear dye being synonymous with richness. This idea is a mark of European colonization.

For the period when Bollywood was not known with the outside of India, of many films were exploited without taking account of the industrial property.

Currently because of their increased visibility and the increase in their potential public, some films of Bollywood start to have more important budgets, enabling them to employ remote and expensive natural decorations like Hatfield House and the Palais of Blenheim to the the United Kingdom.

Large studios start to emerge, such as for example those of the company Yash Raj Films. The financings come primarily from private investors and more and more often from actors who found their own production companies with the image of Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla or Ashutosh Gowariker. In 2001, the Central Office off Investigation , the national agency of the police force of India, seized all the copies of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke when it proved that the film had been financed by the underworld of Mumbai.

Another of the problems of Bollywood is the hacking of its films. Pirated DVD are often on the market at the same time as film in room, the films are réencodés - removed no-claims bonus - to put two on the same support of them, with the help of a reduction in quality.

It also should be known that the Indian cinema is less expensive than Hollywood. Indeed, we can take the example of the famous film Khabi Kushi Khabie Gham which puts in scene the most beautiful Indian couple Kjol-Shahrukh which is the second most expensive film with an amount of production estimated at 7 million dollars. In comparison, a large American production costs around 200 million dollars…
