Feature film? Looks like a foreign film to me. getlost.gif

What's up with the term Bollywood (used in article?). What's the B stand for? Something to do with Asia? I've heard the term a couple times before in reference to Asian cinema, but it's just a funny word.

Call me sexist, but I would have been a lot more surprised if it were a girl...
blush
bollywood is indian cinema.

It's a feature film in a different country. Don't be so closed-minded.

If a 14 year old were to direct a low-budget US film that went to theaters, people would be in awe.

Like has been said, just because it's not being made for the US doesn't make it any less a feat.

Bollywood is the top producer of films, they make more films then the USA.


edit: Hey if you have the opertunitys why not take it, I hate gold spoon children like the next but he is 10 and is putting all the opertunites to good use, its not like he is sitting in the sun somewhere asking for a drink and a hot chick.

Keeping the stereotype alive and well there Nathan.



As you can see, in terms of ticket sales, it's a third bigger than Hollywood.

The "B" means Bombay. It sports a whole lot of production studios. The only thing I hate is when they incorporate music videos into the films, such as the fog.

If you see The Fog (the "Bollywood" version), then you'll see. pinch.gif
