Bollywood is the term used to refer tothe Mumbai-based Hindi film industry, which is the largest filmproducer in India and the world. The term was made from a play onwords between the former name of Mumbai (which is Bombay) andHollywood and was inspired by Western Bengals allusion to its filmsector, which was conveniently labelled as Tollywood. The termhas been identified since the 1970s as synonymous to Indian film. Butsince it is not really an existent place, it is otherwise referred toHindi cinema, to relieve confusion.

It was around the late 1940s to the1960s when the Indian movie industry flourished, just after thecountry gained its independence from British colonizers. This wasregarded as the Golden Age of Hindi films. And it produced someof the most critically acclaimed motion pictures in history includingAwaara (1951) and Pyaasa (1957). Both tackled relevant social issues,which is a recurring theme in most Indian flicks. And as proof oftheir prowess in filmmaking, Indian movies have received several nodsfrom the Academy, from Mother India to Slumdog Millionaire. But itwas during the start of the new millennium when Indian moviemakerswere able to transcend cultural barriers and appeal to audiencesaround the world.

Year 2000 breathed a new life into Indifilms, with improved cinematography techniques and storylines. Therewas a marked difference in the products that were distributed abroad,which made releases a huge success even in hard-to-please countrieslike the United States. Some of the movies that were able to garnerrecognition from viewers over the past eleven years were Lagaan(2001), Ghajini (2008), 3 Idiots (2009) and My Name is Khan (2010).Cross-over Indian actors included Amir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Dev Pateland Frieda Pinto, to name a few. But there are a lot more Indianartists, both old and new, that have been produced by Bollywood. Infact, they are so numerous and popular that photo albums are retailedtoday with a collection of their portraits.

Prosperous as it may seem, Bollywood isnot free of criticism. Aside from the language barrier and polarizingstereotypical expressions, one of the biggest flaws attributed to ithas been plagiarism, with numerous accounted film rewrites based onforeign pictures and dramas. Most Indian writers and directors,however, justify the act through globalization and rationalizes thatthe similarities were a product of Americas strong influence onlocal culture, outlook and creativity. Regardless, conventionalinfluences (ancient Indian epics, ancient Sanskrit drama, traditionalfolk Indian theatre and Parsi theatre) were still observed. And onecannot take away the achievements that Indian film has acquired sofar, despite the failure of a few producers.

A few upcoming Indian movies for 2012that show promise include Joker by Shirish Kunder, Once Upon A Timein Mumbai 2, Talaash with Aamir Khan, and An Yash Chopra, whosemusical score will be composed by Academy Award Winner AR Rahman.This should make Indian cinemas 99th year of existence one for thephoto albums.
