Topic: Indian playback singers

	Bollywood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Songs from Bollywood movies are generally pre-recorded by professional playback singers, with the actors then lip synching the words to the song on-screen, often while dancing.
		Playback singers are prominently featured in the opening credits and have their own fans who will go to an otherwise lackluster movie just to hear their favourites.
		Mohammed Rafi and Yesudas are the notable legendary singers in Hindi Cinema.

	Khazana Music Resources
		The Indian traditionalist will argue that we are compromising by limiting ourselves to just twelve 'tones' per octave, when tradition, dating back thousands of years, categorically spells out twenty two 'tones' per octave.
		Indian classical music, for example, does not use what are called chords, or pressing more than one key simultaneously.
		In Indian music, the main octave is called 'Madhya stayi', the octave above it (higher) is called 'tara stayi' and the octave just below the Madhya stayi is called 'Mandra stayi' (based on the way 'mantras' were chanted in low frequencies in the centuries past).

		There have always been Indian films with more "artistic" aims and more sophisticated stories, both inside and outside the Bollywood tradition (for example, many of the films of Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Guru Dutt, Shyam Benegal, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and Gulzar among others; see Indian art cinema).
		Nowadays, Indian producers are drawing in more and more funding for big-budget films shot within India as well, such as Lagaan, Devdas, and the recent production The Rising.
		Indian banks were forbidden to lend money to film productions, but this ban has been lifted recently.

		Bollywood and the other major cinematic hubs (Tamil - Kollywood, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam) constitute the broader Indian film industry, whose output is the largest in the world in terms of number of films produced and in number of tickets sold.
		The word Bollywood was created by blending Bombay (the city now officially called Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the United States film industry.
		Songs and dances, love triangles, comedy and dare-devil thrills -- all are mixed up in a three hour long extravaganza with an intermission.

		On the one hand, Indian cinema is becoming increasingly westernized.
		As Western audiences for Indian cinema grow, Western producers are anxious to take their cut of the profits and the audience.
		Indian cinema is also influencing the English and American musical; A.R. Rahman, India's star filmi composer, was recruited for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay Dreams, and a musical version of Hum Aapke Hain Koun played in London's West End.

	Bambooweb: Bollywood
		It is commonly referred to as "Hindi cinema", even though a strong case could be made that the language of the films is actually Hindustani.
		Sequences shot overseas have proved a real box office draw, so Mumbai film crews are increasingly peripatetic, filming in Australia, New Zealand, England, continental Europe and elsewhere.
		(Copying is particularily rife in Pakistan, since the government has banned the import of Indian films; the underworld has rushed to supply the banned item.) Films are frequently broadcast without compensation by countless small cable-TV companies in India and Asia.
