Bollywood?

"Bollywood" is a term used to talk about the film industry of India. Although its not the whole Indian industry, it possesses most of it. Bollywood is an independent movie company, so they have their own way of doing things.

The first Bollywood movie was made in 1931. In the 1950s, the company started its first color motion picture. In the years 200, Bollywood really started to set its place into the movie industry. Places all around the world started to notice Indian made movies. Movies from Bollywood are mostly musicals. They specialise in many movie genres, like romance, action and musicals all in one. The singing is usually made by professional singers rather than the actors. They used to prohibit kissing in their movies. Bollywood reflects India's beliefs, because now the world is more open minded the show "dating movies", and used to show only "arranged marriages movies".

To be an actor/actress is as hard in Bollywood as anywhere else. It's very rare that actors with no Indian background get hired.

The talking in those movies is almost always recorded in the studios. The actors speak over their lines in studio. That's because they had low budget equipment and the sound wasn't great. That causes problems because actors have to reproduce an emotion and other problems would be the technicality of repeating lip movements and script lines. Now they have better equipment but they keep pursuing the tradition.

Indians have their own awards: The Stardust awards and the Star Screen awards. They can also learn Indian's cinema background in "Film and television institute of India".
