BOLLYWOOD DEFINED
Many of you have heard the term "Bollywood" thrown around a lot in
the press lately but may not know what it means. It is a term
coined by a British reporter back in the late 70's or early 80's for
Indian cinema (Bombay + Hollywood). The term does not entirely
represent the genre and it annoys many Indian filmmakers. However,
it is something which cannot be ignored.

BOLLYWOOD IN THE PRESS
Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Bombay Dreams" is inspired by "Dil Se"
(coming to Broadway Spring 2004).
"Devdas" was a headliner at Cannes last year.
"Lagaan" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in
2001.
"Moulin Rouge" is also heavily inspired by 'Bollywood'

SAN DIEGO's BOLLYWOOD SCREENINGS
In San Diego there is Indian cinema almost every week, which is an
event more than just a movie (b/c they have intermissions half way
through the usually long movies). The following is info for the
next movie by Karan Johar (it's not about 'HO's).

AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS ON BOLLYWOOD
By the way, AMC even has a show on Karan this month (not sure if it
aired already). It's called, "THE AMC PROJECT: I WANT TO BE KARAN
JOHAR. Explore Bollywood - Filmmaker Peter Mattei explores India's
robust film industry and strives for face-time with Karan Johar, one
of India's hottest directors"
