	Filmi Sangeet - The Indian film song
		The term "Film Song" is today somewhat of a misnomer because there are many songs of this genre that have never been in any film.
		The birth of the Indian film song may be traced to the advent of India's first sound motion picture in 1931.
		It appears that film music is in the process of spawning a number of new and related genre.

	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.

	Indian Film Industry: A synopsis by IndiaOneStop.Com
		Until the 1960s, film producers would get loans from film distributors against a minimum guarantee: this meant that the distributors had to ensure that the film was screened in cinemas for a fixed minimum period.
		However, NFDC cannot be considered to play a central role in the film industry because it finances too few films which, too, are not of the type that has made the Indian film industry so vibrant.
		The film industry is currently losing unestimated volumes of revenue due to competition from local cable operators who illegally beam newly released movies into the drawing rooms of their subscribers.

	The Indian Film Industry - India - Mark Moxon, Travel Writer
		Bombay is the official centre of Indian film, so much so that the films are known as 'Bollywood' movies (which is unlikely to change to 'Mollywood' with Bombay's name change to Mumbai).
		Once an actor or actress makes it, he or she will end up acting in loads of films, all at the same time: stories of actors working on over 100 films simultaneously are not uncommon, because it's actors that sell films.
		There are some arty films that are successful abroad, but as they normally concentrate on poverty and real life, Indians don't want to watch them: they want escapism at the flicks, just like the rest of us.

	FIFTH ANNUAL IAAC FILM FESTIVAL: Indian Independent & Diaspora Films
		NEW YORK: The fifth annual Indian film festival in New York opens on Wednesday with a gala screening of Deepa Mehta's critically acclaimed movie 'Water' which traces the hard lives of Hindu widows and triggered violent protests while being filmed on the banks of the Ganges in India in 2000.

		Writing in G, an Indian film magazine, Monica Motwani states ``The heroine may have metamorphised (sic) over the years, but she still cannot break away from the shackles of certain norms set by Hindi cinema years ago."[MM96] On the other hand there are some who posit a major progressiveness in attitudes towards women.
		As the film proceeds with scenes of Radha and Shamoo's marriage we are put in the familiar position of identifying the rhetoric of patriarchy.
		The film is as selfconcious of its role in shaping the discourse as the most blatantly propagandist film.

	Censorship at Indian film festivals Petition
		We are especially perturbed to learn of the proposed new censorship policy for Indian film festivals which compulsorily subjects all independent film festivals (not funded by the government) to censorship.
		We are informed that though the new proposed policy exempts foreign films from censorship, all Indian films have to be cleared by the Indian censor board prior to a film festival screening, which is highly discriminatory.
		Similarly, for the International film festival of India (Goa), though there is no censorship for foreign films, local films participating in the Indian Panorama section need a censor certificate to even be considered for inclusion.

		In the Czech Republic, there isn't an Indian diaspora to speak of, there's a very small Indian community, and the increase in popularity of Bollywood films is among the Czech people in this country.

		I mean, sure, they are showing a lot of films, but they're also showing films which have been made by Indian diaspora directors and producers.

	Manas: Culture, Music of India, Indian Film Music
		First, Hindi film music has borrowed unabashedly from all known styles and genres of music, and much like Indian culture as a whole, refuses to acknowledge the bankrupt concept of "copyright".
		Hindi film music is often set to large, Western-style orchestras; in many Hindi films until recently, there was a set piece in which the hero played, before a large and distinguished gathering, in which his fiancee as well as the vamp were present, the piano.
		But the hero in the Hindi film plays the piano no more than he sings: indeed, songs are sung by what are termed playback singers.
