Hindi Film History Of Indian Cinem
The Hindi-language Hindi-based film industry (popularly known as Bollywood) was born in the early years of the silent film revival in Europe and the United States. Encouraged by western technology, and the great power of mass entertainment, India and surrounding regions quickly built their own movie production centers, which remains largely ignored by most people in the world for decades to come. As their popularity grew, movies made in Mumbay reached a staggering 200 annual movie, and gave birth to the nickname of the movie industry - Bollywood (the same nickname "Hollywood" boxing taken from a West Bengal movie, but soon edited by Mombay Movie Fans (Bombay). West has continued to ignore the efforts of Indian filmmakers, but they acknowledge the fact that India has surpassed America as the world's largest producer of movies.
From the first Bollywood movie ever created to the present day, the Indian film used a mixture of influences gathered in its long history, with a tendency for foreign styles taken from Hollywood and later on international television channels. The six major influences that have made Bollywood what it is today:
The culture of Indian epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana, especially their narrative styles (side story, background story, broad clips).
Sanskrit stadium that was popular in India until the 10th century AD. This gave Bollywood movies a sense of spectacle, dance, music and acts of art.
The traditional Indian theater became famous after the decline of the Sanskrit theater.
Parsi theater, which has given Indian movies a sense of humor, a beautiful song, an extended dance process, a real mix of fantasy, narrative and stage spectacle.
Hollywood, with songs and product range.
Music television stations such as MTV brought about a major change in the way Bollywood movies were produced after the 1900s.
Bollywood's first silent film "Raja Harishchandra" was created in 1913 by Dadasaheb Phalke. Its huge success paved the way for countless movies that followed it and the expansion of the Indian cinema industry to higher ground. Less than 20 years later, India produced 200 movies a year. One of the great achievements of that time was “Alam Ara” from 1931, a sound movie that became the basis for modern Bollywood music. However, soon after its release, India entered a period of turmoil. The Great Depression, WW2, Indian Independence and Partition Violence have pushed filmmakers to start introducing critical themes to their films, often as the backbone of music programs and dramas. The first Indian color film "Kisan Kanya" was created in 1937, but such movies gained popularity only in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
As many historians remember today, the Golden Age of Indian cinema took place between the 1940s and 1960s. At that time countless Bollywood films were released, exploring new ways of telling stories, social themes (especially the challenges and wonders of urban life), popular productions such as Mother India (1957), rebirth, and more. The season also appealed to many Indian actors (Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt) and actors such as (Nargis, Vyjayanthimala, Meena Kumari, Nutan, Madhubala, and others).
The 1960s gave birth to the Modern Bollywood cinema, which was most easily seen when an avalanche of two genres was previously unveiled - movies and romantic acts. This led to the emergence of new movie stars, and in the 70s, gangsters and crime movies entered the fray. 80s and 90s reverted to musical excellence, popular family stories, comedy and action films based on stunt. Art films also tried, especially after the release of Satya by Ram Gopal Varma (1998), which introduced the Mumbai type of noir (noir films exploring the issues of urban life).
In the new millennium, Bollywood has finally been able to reach outside India and the world in the West. Many of their impressive products have found great success in the box office around the world, especially after the dramatic success of "Lagaan: Once upon a Time in India" in 2001.
