Bollywood Movies & Hollywood Movies, Set to Rock the World

There is a famous saying that goes like this - “Movies are the reflection of a society”.This saying completely reflects the current situation of the Indian Film Industry, also known as 'Bollywood'. Approximately 800 movies are produced by the Indian Film Industry, making it the largest film producing nation, leaving behind the likes of Hollywood. Talking about the Indian Film Industry, the fusion of numerous cultures and religion is clearly reflected in the movies produced over here. The industry that over the time span of 50 years has delivered masterpieces like Mehboob's khan 'Mother India', Kaifi Azmi's 'Mughal-e-Azam, Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 'Parinda' and more recently the likes of 'Taare Zameen Par' by Aamir khan and 'MunnaBhai MBBS' & 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' by Rajkumar Hirani clearly proves that today Indian film industry is a reckoning force on the international film circuit. With new blood pouring in and the old stalwarts living up to their names, Bollywood over the past few years has undergone a radical transformation. That's not all, directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali (maker of critically acclaimed 'Black') and Sanjay Gupta (maker of 'Kaante' and 'Zinda') who is also known as the desi 'Quentin Tarantino', are making sure that they experiment with newer subjects and explore new genres. Even the likes of Imtiaz Ali (Jab We Met, Socha Naa tha), Abhishek Kapoor (Rock On!) and not to forget Farhan Akhtar who has the likes 'Dil Chahta Hai', 'Lakshya' and 'Don', has simply proved to be awesome when it comes to film making. As far as comedy movies are concerned, Rohit Shetty, the brain behind the 'Golmaal' and 'Sunday' has redefined the genre of comedy films. When comedy films are being considered, who can afford to overlook the contribution of Priyadarshan to Bollywood, who is rated as one of the finest comedy filmmaker. 'Hera Pheri', 'Garam Masala', 'Bhagam Bhag' and more recently 'Dhol' are some of the incredible examples of his ability to churn out hit comedy blockbusters every time he goes behind the camera. This was just a glimpse of the rich past of the Indian film industry. The bright future is yet to hit the screens in the late 2008. With Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' and Shahrukh Khan's 'Rab ne bana di jodi (which also marks the return of Aditya Chopra into the main stream commercial cinema after the hiatus of nine years), clash of titans is guaranteed on the silver screen. If that was about the Bollywood movies, then even Hollywood is not far behind. The latest Hollywood movies being 'The Dark Knight' and 'Wanted' doing reasonably well on the International film circuit, Hollywood has retained its position of producing the sizzling blockbusters every time. Not only that things are looking exceedingly promising for Hollywood, with 'Quantum of Solace' (James Bond's 22nd film) set to hit the screens in first week of November, 2008, Hollywood film makers have every reason to smile.
