Hindi cinema has evolved itself from the conventional type to a highly innovative cinema. The kind of movies you used to see five years ago, have started diminishing and you will find more audience oriented movies now. Movies which are coming these days, try to reflect the real side even if it is the dark side of life.

Movies are gearing up to match expectations and some are even surpassing those expectations. Some movies like “Wednesday”, “The Black Friday” and “New York” were above expectations and created a lot of buzz at Hindi cinema box office.

Bollywood is catching up with Hollywood trends very fast. They have even started hiring international artist for the movie. You have already seen Sylvester Stallone and Kylie Minogue dancing for Bollywood in recent movies. You may even find some bigger stars in coming movies.

Indian movies are getting popular and Indian stars are making a tremendous rapport in Hollywood. Some movies are claiming hit because of foreign audience only. With luck smiling on Hollywood, new fans are looking up for Indian stars across borders.

Bollywood also has started pouring in more money into movies. Movies budgeting to
5-6 billions are making their way very frequently in a year or so. As film makers are putting so much of money into this business, marketing has gone one more step ahead. You will find stars doing photo sessions together just before the film unveils. You can easily catch them on some TV shows or even at cricket ground promoting their film.

So finally things are boiling down to basics of movie making. Now filmmakers are becoming more cautious on what the final message, they want to deliver to their audience. You will not see conventional drama of a boy falling in love with one girl and then fighting with her family to get his love.

As the types of movies are changing, the audience also expects something new and different in each coming movie. The overall taste has changed now. Movie making has come to an edge in last couple of years and it has become more issue based now. And Bollywood is ready to gel well.

Hailing as the leading industry in the world, Indian cinema is a multi-crore industry churning approximately around 700-900 movies per year. And yes there is a ready audience to swallow in whatever the industry dishes out.

The Indian audience love movies that have a mix of most of the genres like drama, music, action, adventure, tragedy….. all mixed into one. This is what they call paisa vasool in Hindi parlance meaning complete value for money. All the genres are packed into a 3 hour long exasperating experience that releases on every Friday. Multiplexes and single cinema halls begin the preparation of the release 2 days prior. But the advance booking begins sometimes a week prior to 3-4 days in precedence so that patrons can book their tickets in advance while producers, distributors and the exhibitors are assured of the incoming flow of money.

Bollywood is the name given to all the movies especially made in Hindi in India. It is procured from Hollywood that stands as the epitome of English movies. There is also Tollywood for all Telugu movies made in South India. Thus there are various aberrations to Bollywood for movies local to a particular place.

Songs are pivotal to every Bollywood movie. The lyricist and the music director play an important role. There has been a stark transition from music of yesteryears to today’s music. But then change is important as the country is experiencing a wave of modernity among individuals and households. Lyrics are now cooler with the modern youth in mind and the music too is hip hop, rock and funk. Locations for shoot have seen a great change from Indian locations to foreign shores as it adds a lot of drama and brings in freshness to otherwise staid shooting locales. Italy, England, Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Manila, Mauritius, name it and the Indian crew has been there to shoot for their movie.

Some all time favourite Hindi movies include Jugnoo, Junglee, Deewar, Sholay, Kashmir ki Kali, Mother India, Mughal-e-azam, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Rang De Basanti, Munnabhai MBBS, Darna Mana Hai, Chak De India and Taare Zameen Par.

Cinema plays an important role in the life of any society. The cinema has become a part of the modern way of life. There is no denying the fact that the cinema is an excellent vehicle of culture. Its possibilities are unlimited. In the earliest years of the cinema its power to show contemporary events was recognized and appreciated. More than anything else this unique quality secured popularity for the film as a new form of instruction and entertainment. That’s why the cinema is considered to be one of the best ways of spending leisure time.

The cinema in Italy got the new creative urge with the films of Roberto Rossellini. Later on there followed a number of realistic and astonishing films under the guidance of famous directors: Giuseppe de Santis, Luigi Zampa, Vittorio De Sica, Luchino Visconti and others. The plots of these films were centered around the social themes and first of all they had won the praise abroad and only then in Italy.

Nowadays, cinema is broadly recognized for its power as a way of cultural production. “Cinema Paradiso” is one of the most famous and astonishing Italian films which were released in the USA.
