Bollywood is the biggest film industry in the world and its films are watched by 15
million people in cinemas across India every day. The films always include music,
spectacular dancing and romance, and usually last over three hours. The first
Bollywood film being produced was in 1908 and by 1930 over 200 films were
being made every year. Now studios in Mumbai produce over 800 films a year,
which can be seen all over the world. Bollywood spends far less on production than
Hollywood, but now the industry is being forced to spend more to compete with big-
budget American films. So if you enjoy being transporting to another world, you
should go and see a Bollywood film!
