	Bollywood
		Bollywood films are textually very similar because they are composed of three or four stories, which always circle around the concept of romantic love.A typical story would be about a young, rich man, who falls in love with a beautyful, but poor woman.
		Characteristic for Bollywood films are also the many "song-and dance" performances, in which the actors dance dedicativly to the sound of traditional Indian music.
		First the film producers need it as a scenery to avoid because the Himalaya mountain chain couldn´t used anymore as a result of the Kashmir conflict.

	Skillman Indian film
		Film songs of the 1930s were frequently referred to as light classical songs because of the use of classical instruments, melodic materials and song forms, and the development of a characteristic singing style.
		The shortage of raw film stock, which had to be imported from the West, and the British ban on political films, led to a shift in film themes from social criticism to humourous musical entertainment.
		Film song is the popular Indian music and has achieved this status through transcending cultural, religious, linguistic, caste and class barriers by appealing to the ethos common to all Indian traditions and societies.

	Indian Film Industry
		Many films of the time were produced both in the regional language (Bengali, Marathi), and in Hindi, so that they could be oriented to the larger Hindi-speaking market.
		The recurrent narrative of these films, of protagonists uprooted from small town and rural families to the perils of the city, is shared by the street children researched by professional sociologists in Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay (1988).
		The Bombay films' very excesses, their grand gestures, and the priority given to emotion and excitement may more truly reflect the dominant rhythms of urban life in India.

	The Bombay Studios in the 1930s
		Chandulal Shah entered the Bombay industry as a young man with the specific purpose of producing films for Miss Gohar a major star at the time.(40) Their combination was successful and Shah developed a studio (Ranjit Film Company) from this base which he translated into a position of some power within the Bombay film industry.
		Shah produced films of two kinds that were successful at the box-office; a genre that explored modern social themes in films such as Telephone Girl which starred Miss Gohar and appealed to the sophisticated urban audience, and a genre of quasi-mythological films that appealed to a broader audience and foreshadowed the modern masala film.
		As the studios established themselves in Bombay in response to the growing demand for Indian films in the mofussil (or countryside) there developed a desire on the part of the filmmakers to consolidate their position with the formation of a number of industrially based organisations.

	"Salaam Bombay!" by Jyotika Virdi
		The film evoked maximum involvement in the narrative line — the characters, the plot, what happened to whom, the personal relations between the children, the nameless prostitute and her relationship with her daughter.
		By locating the film in the setting of a brothel and by dealing with pushers and prostitutes, the film engages us with institutions that are largely tangential to the lives of "children on the street of Bombay," to whom the film is dedicated.
		Films like GANDHI, PASSAGE TO INDIA, and THE COLOR PURPLE are distributed widely among a western audience, partially leading to what Isaac Julien and Kobena Mercer call a "de-marginalizing" and "de-centering" of the traditional "center-margin" boundaries.[14] However, none of these films have been made by members of the groups they represent.

	The "Masala" Film Recipe
		In Bombay films are produced in Marathi, the regional language, in Gujerati, Punjabi, as well as in Hindi, the most widespread of the Indian languages in the sub-continent.
		These films are pure escapist material, blurring out the hard-knock reality of everyday life and what they do best is to provoke a huge emotional participation from the masses, who loudly manifest their reactions.
		This film focuses on an Indian community in Toronto, where we witness an excellent parody of the popular film phenomenon through an old Indian mausi (maternal aunt in Hindi) who converses with the god Krishna (avatara of Vishnu) who inhabits her television.

	The Film Journal...Passionate and informed film criticism from an auteurist perspective.
		In Bombay itself, you can find hundreds of variations of Hindi: the upper-class Hinglish [a combination of Hindi and English], the raw "tapori" language of the streets, the Marathi- Hindi, the Parsi-Hindi, the Gujarati-Hindi etc. The dialogue writer is chosen on the basis of the style and the setting of the film.
		But in inferior films this care is not taken and the result is shoddy at best and downright stupid the rest of the times.
		One way of framing the difference between many popular films and the Indian art tradition is to say that the art tradition refuses to sentimentalize problems that popular movie address and resolve in an often romantic, unrealistic way.

		Ostensibly the film tells the story of Krishna, a ten-year-old circus boy who runs away to 'the nearest big city' where he learns to fend for himself but its glory lies in the intricacy of a dozen interlocking stories, making the plot as densely populated and complex as a nineteenth-century novel's.
		Nair has broken a mould: to the astonishment of the Bombay film community, she insisted on filming not in a studio but in the vice-laden sums of her story.
		The result is a film which is impressively modest and impressively true.
