Bollywood

Today I read an article about bollywood called, Bollywood Confidential.
" The Indian film industry has penetrated into vast, and unlikely, areas of the globe." This quote really stuck with me as I was reading the article. It really shows that Bollywood movies aren't only popular in India but that they are popular in all parts of the world. In the article it also states that " In New York, whenever I get a haircut, I'm confident of getting a discount if the hairdresser is from the former Soviet Union.". This is another quote that really shows how big of an impact Bollywood movies are making. Also these quotes tell the reader how many people love to watch Bollywood because of the singing and dancing and how it portrays reality instead of Hollywoods picture of reality. The movies that the indians produce are about real things in their culture and they sing songs that relate to them. Here in America not all movies are like that and thats why a lot of people tuen to Bollywood movies if they want to watch something real. It's interesting to learn that different countries can make movies that will be popular in not only that country but countries all over the world too.
