BOLLYWOOD

I read an article about Bollywood from the BBC. I read about what Bollywood is, where it all started, why it is so big now, why it is so unusual, who the big stars are in Bollywood, what the problems of Bollywood are, and what it's future is. 

First of all, Bollywood, a mix of Bombay and Hollywood, is India's version of our Hollywood only it makes about twice as many movies as Hollywood. Bollywood began in 1899, first with a shot film, then in the 1930's, it began having talking videos, and now it is a huge movie making center. Bollywood started getting attention in 2002 when Indian films were shown in Britain during a cricket match of India and England. Once the people saw these videos, it became really popular and department stores even started selling Indian clothing. 

What makes Bollywood different from Hollywood is that their movies all follow a very strict format of singing and dancing. In America, they have Tom Cruise, but I learned that in Bollywood, their huge star is Arjun Rampal. But Malaysia , we have Dato' Jalaluddin Hassan . As successful as Bollywood sounds, it has trouble breaking even on some movies because piracy is a big problem over there. Also, the younger people are finding the movies to be too predictable because of the same format for every movie. Even with piracy and younger people being turned off, this article says that the future is bright for Bollywood. 

Nah hambik kau tengok kalau-kalau tak kenal siapa Arjun Rampal , Tom Cruise and Dato' Jalaluddin Hassan . For sure ramai yang kenal Tom Cruise dan Dato' Jalaluddin Hassan but Arjun Rampal , maybe boleh masuk akal kalau ada yang tak kenal because before pun aku tak berapa kenal and just got know him from google .

This article relates to my life because now I want to see one of these movies if they are now going to be a big deal . I also want to see if these movies are as predictable as they sound .
