HOLLYWOOD VS BOLLYWOOD

  Hollywood and Bollywood are two words that describe the billion world cinema industry. Hollywood being the largest in terms of revenue with 90% of total industry revenue to its name, while Bollywood being able to capture only 3% of the industry total . Alternatively, Bollywood leads with over 1000 film productions a year catering to a global audience of 3 billion. Hollywood produces more than 500 movies annually and has nearly 2.6 billion viewers. The first thought that strikes one’s mind when you hear the word Hollywood is the American film Industry, rather than the district that is situated North West of Downtown Los Angeles in the state of California. Hollywood became famous since the early 1900s for the birth and development of the American Cinema Industry. Today, Hollywood is known as the heart of movie studios with the worlds four largest production houses situated in that area and Beverley Hills, the residential neighborhood of the district, housing the multi million dollar ma

90's Era of Bollywood

  Was the 1990s kitsch or pop? Pure cringe-fest or plain, unadulterated nostalgia? It doesn’t matter if you look at the 90s as awful or awesome because the impact (for better or for worse) of that decade is so deep-rooted within us – especially the 30-somethings reading this – that we remain very much a product of that decade even though many world cinema-exposed cineastes and urban sophiscates now seem to be in utter denial about the 90s. Did it even exist? Yes, it did. Yes, before Netflix, there were the video parlours (early training ground for filmmakers as varied as Anurag Kashyap and Madhur Bhandarkar). Yes, we could tell our Nadeem-Shravans from Jatin-Lalits and Mahesh Bhatts from David Dhawans (no right-minded 90s guy can ever confuse Mahesh Bhatt’s cinema with David Dhawan’s). Yes, Doordarshan was a bestseller and we flocked to that one family in the building that owned a TV set for our weekly fix (in our case, we were that family unfortunately). Yes, we waited for weeks to ca

Nepotism in Bollywood

 Nepotism refers to the partiality to family members, relatives or good friends in basis of the relationship rather than the abilities. Nepotism not only exists in Bollywood but the other industries too. A local boss in a local company would prefer to give his/her seat to his / her son or daughter. They would prefer to give the place to their children rather than someone else who may be capable for the job. Similarly, nepotism exists in Bollywood.  A son of a famous star will easily get more roles in the movies. The actor will prefer his or her son to be an actor and with many contacts in hand it's easy to get a role for them. Nepotism is something which exists from the very start. Even in the 90's era, nepotism existed. The audience are used to it. But now things have changed. The audience are getting more self aware. They have turned against nepotism. The start kids who were once followed in masses are now trolled brutally. Their movies get less attention. The audience have c
