Namaste! and Hello! I am your lovely Indian friend teaching you about Hindi and India. in this blog we are going to know more about Bollywood, it's history, some of my favorite movies and my favorite part about all the famous actors and actresses who work in Bollywood.
The movie making industry started in Bombay (Mumbai) in the 1930s. The first Indian movie was a silent movie called Raja Harishchandra (1913), by Dadasaheb Phalke. the word Bollywood was coined as from Hollywood, which was/is the movie industry in Los Angeles and took it's mane from the city of Bombay (Now Mumbai).
Indian love to see movies and the movies are in general a reflection of the society, although all the movies have the same masala (mix of spices). Even then the grace for watching movies is not diminished. Bollywood movies have now become big budget and in the recent past, the collections of number of Bollywood movies has crossed more than 20 million dollars. The movies are usually 3-4 hours long (including the intermission) with many songs and dances (which include 100 or so choreographed dancers), top stars, the story between the songs of boy meets girl (without kissing), lots of action (though no bloodshed), and always - a happy ending.

Shahrukh Khan is one of the most famous actor in India and is one of my favorite actor. He is often referred to as "The King of Bollywood". His started his career with a film called 'Deewana' (1992). His latest film, called RA ONE crossed a budget of 20 million dollars !!!!! Although it was a flop movie in India but still was quite famous outside India. It also has a song called Chammak Challo which is song by famous pop singer, Akon. It really like this song. The link below is a link to YouTube which shows a smaller version of the song Chammak Challo.

3 Idiots is my all time favorite movie. It is a movie based on 3 best friends who live together in an engineering hostel. And the rest of the story goes on in the hostel. It is a must watch movie. You can see the movie with English subtitles.
Like 3 idiots, Dil Chahta Hai is also my all time favorite movie and is a story of again 3 best friend. They decide to go to Goa (place in India with full of beaches) to enjoy their vacations. I just loved both the movies and can see them many times.
So.......... as everything has a time to end, I will have to end this blog but I will soon come with another blog. I am Sorry I could not talk about famous actresses in Bollywood and much more but I will surely post another blog on all the actresses and actors !!!!!!!!!!!
So stay tuned !!!!!!!!!!!
