| All about Wollybood |
Indian moviemaking industry that
began in Bombay (now Mumbai) in the 1930s and developed
into an enormous film empire. Bombay Talkies, launched
in 1934 by Himansu Rai, spearheaded the growth of
Indian cinema. Throughout the years, several classic
genres emerged from Bollywood: the historical epic,
notably Mughal-e-azam (1960; “The Great Mughal”);
the curry western, such as Sholay (1975; “The
Embers”); the courtesan film, such as Pakeezah
(1972; “Pure Heart”), which highlights
stunning cinematography and sensual dance choreography;
and the mythological movie, represented by Jai Santoshi
Maa (1975; “Hail Santoshi Maa”).
Star actors, rather than the films themselves, have
accounted for most box-office success. Standard
features of Bollywood films include formulaic story
lines, expertly choreographed fight scenes, spectacular
song-and-dance routines, emotion-charged melodrama,
and larger-than-life heroes. At the beginning of
the 21st century, Bollywood produced as many as
1,000 feature films annually, and international
audiences began to develop among Asians in the U.K.
and the U.S.

Bollywood is also commonly referred
to as "Hindi cinema", even though
Hindustani, the substratum common to both
Hindi and Urdu, might be more accurate. The
use of poetic Urdu words is fairly common.
The connection between Hindi, Urdu, and Hindustani
is an extremely contentious matter and is
discussed at length in the linked articles
relating specifically to the languages. |
There has been a growing presence of English in
dialogues and songs as well. It is not uncommon
to see movies which feature dialogues with English
words and phrases, even whole sentences. A few
movies are also made in two or even three languages
(either using subtitles, or several soundtracks).
