Bollywood!!


I like weekends. Yes, I really do! Sometimes weekends can be very interesting full excitement! . I don’t know about you but I had a quite relaxing weekend enjoyed with my dog, some books, some paper, a chair a table, some food, a bed, a couch, and..... BOLLYWOOD!  


Bollywood has a special place in my heart. Every movie I watch is filled with drama and excitement. Like Hollywood in North-America, Bollywood is the Hollywood in India.  Bollywood is a film industry based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.  There are several regional film industries sorted by language. Bollywood is formally referred to as a Hindi Cinema.

Bollywood is a bit different in from what we know as Hollywood. One thing that all Bollywood movies always have is a time for song and dance. The dancing in many of the older films are primarily modelled on Indian dance which is classical or folk dances. In modern films, Indian dance elements are most times  blended with Western dance styles.  The hero or heroine of the film most often sings and is followed by  a group of supporting dancers. Many of the song and dance routines have shifts of location changes of costume between verses of the song.

In 2000s, Bollywood films began influencing musical films in the Western world and began to have a role in America’s musical film genre.So when now watching musicals don't forget who brought it back!
