Capital of Indian Cinema
The term Bollywood is referred to the Mumbai based Hindi film industry in India that has been ruling the business of cinema for decades. From its inception in the silent age, in the most humble form, it has covered a great distance and now is regarded as one of the largest film producers in the world. Well, the very word is a portmanteau of Mumbai and Hollywood, the capital of the American film industry. However, its status as equal to Hollywood is debatable. But there is no doubt that in the recent years it has come up as the repository of marvelous talents. Once the industry was famous for making films based on concepts like boy meets a girl, lost and found. But with the change of time and preference of audience it has also changed its concept and nowadays it is seen to go for unusual films. Truly speaking this was an impossible task even some years back but the gradual withdrawal of audience from cinema has forced it to adopt this. Nevertheless this innovative saga has seen the emergence of fresh talents who are determined to render a new outlook to the cinemas of Bollywood.
This has also brought before a new reality that Bollywood is just not restricted to fun and entertainment. On the contrary it is one of the biggest employment generating industries in the country and in that way is benefiting the national economy to a great extent. Besides the introduction of CD and DVD has made its films a household concept like never before. This has freed the common people from visiting the cinema houses regularly yet they can watch these movies in the comforts of their own homes. Besides the introduction of online processes have enabled the common audience to read the movie reviews easily and to select the watchable movies on that basis. To be very precise this is the beginning of a new saga in the history of Bollywood where the perception of the audience is esteemed in this manner. There is a high expectation that Bollywood will rise to the pinnacle of glory in the subsequent decades through these innovative technologies.
