The Bollywood industry has taken the world by storm and has gone beyond being the biggest film industry in India. It has reached every part of the globe, and the fanbase and appreciation of Bollywood movies has only grown.
The Hindi film industry is called Bollywood, and this term is interestingly a portmanteau. The portmanteau is of Hollywood and Bombay, known as Mumbai today. However, it must be noted that Tollywood, the Bengali film industry, is a term that predates Bollywood. So it could be that the term Bollywood came from Hollywood itself or was inspired by Tollywood.
While Hollywood is a physical location, Bollywood is not. Bombay, though, is the place that has been central to the hopes and dreams of many people that have come to the city to make it big. Be it through the Bollywood industry itself or to get a job in any other industry. This magnetism is what led to Bollywood being the sprawling and thriving metropolitan it is today.
Many Bollywood movies have also captured this, and some have even been based on the actors’ own stories of how they started. The desire to work in the film industry has in no way diminished as the years have gone by. Bollywood is actually a giant in how many movies it produces compared to the other industries in India.
It is well-known that networking is what is important to enter any industry, be it the film industry or any other. For the longest time, Bollywood has been accused of nepotism, and this has clearly been seen on-screen. This has made it difficult for newcomers to make it in the industry.
The solution to this is the Flim India App. It was started to make a bridge between the people in the industry and aspirants that want to act, produce, work in the music industry or any other department. Film India App has a directory of all contact information and other information regarding the industry to help aspirants connect to people that can help them enter the industry.
