Bollywood Tour Experience
Veronica Di Pilla
The term Bollywood comes from a fusion of the words Bombay and Hollywood, although today Bombay is officially called Mumbai. Bollywood identifies a specific sector of the Indian film industry, it is just one genre, and it does not represent all of Indian filmmaking. It is recited only in Hindi and occasionally in Urdu.
Bollywood movies are more about the music than about the movie. In fact, "music videos" for Bollywood movies are shot by a different director, and the music and voices are first recorded in a studio before the cameras start rolling. The singing is done by a completely different cast, and the dance numbers in the movies are always lip-synched.
Bollywood movies are the most popular in India. They are also the most popular Indian films abroad, after Hollywood movies at the worldwide box office. India has the most prolific film industry in terms of production and number of viewers. However, when it comes to revenue, Hollywood continues to dominate due to its larger budgets.
