Bollywood

Mehta, Suketu. "Bollywood Confidential". The NY Times Sunday Magazine. November, 14, 2004. March 17, 2009.
In this article Mehta talks about bollywood and the Indian film industry. The Indian film industry has apparently started up in many areas around the world besides India. Such as in New York, Russia, Israel, Iraq, Iran. Also Bollywood movies have been translated into many different languages such as French, Mandarin, Malay and others. Bollywood apparently believes in motherhood, patriotism, and true love. All the storied the movies tell are "pre-cynical". Hollywood movies are much more about family then the Bollywood movies are.  This relates to when we watched the movie Bride and Prejudice in class. In this movie we saw many things about bollywood just like in the article.
