‘Bollywood’, which is the name of the film industry in Mumbai, India, makes almost 1,000 films a
year. Since making its first film in 1913, Bollywood has made over 29,000 films. This is a much higher
number than the USA and means it is the biggest film industry in the world. Most Indians like watching films
better than any other free-time activity and ten million of them go to the cinema every day. Bollywood films
tell romantic love stories, and singing and dancing are an important part of every film. Indian films are also
enjoyed outside India. Last year, Bollywood made over $500 million by selling its films to other countries.
Indian actors make more films each year than American actors in Hollywood, but they are not paid as
much. This is why most Bollywood films only cost about $2 million to make. A Hollywood film is never
made for under $5 million.
Most Bollywood actors are young. They work hard but only for a few years. Amitabh Bachchan, who
some people say is India’s greatest actor, is different. He has been the star of more than 140 films during an
acting career of almost 40 years.
