Bollywood

One of the news stories in BBC’s Newshour today was about Bollywood. Many people know about Hollywood, but I don’t know if many people know about Bollywood too.

Bollywood is the Indian Hindi language cinema based in Mumbai. It produces a lot of movies in a year, and Bollywood movies are usually long and include a lot of singing and dancing.

I haven’t seen many Bollywood films, but one of the best movies I’ve ever seen is a Bollywood film. I recommended it to one of my high school students and she thought it was really good too, so if you’re interested in learning more about the world through movies, I recommend “Three Idiots” and I hope you’ll like it.
