Inside Bollywood!
2001
Overview
\"For most Americans, a movie is just part of an evening out, a break between a day at the office and dinner with friends. For many Indians, a Bollywood extravaganza is a means of escape, however transitory, from the harshness they must endure day after day. This need for relief, say those who make and follow such films, largely explains the seemingly inexplicable hodgepodge of melodrama and music, madcap and mayhem, terror and travelogue that characterizes them.\" (SMITHSONIAN) The socioeconomic realm of Bollywood, India's film industry, and its yearly production of \"hundreds of wild and gaudy spectacles\" are discussed.
