I recently read an article titled, "Is Bollywood coming to Hollywood?" By Elham Khatami. Slumdog Millionaire, an Indian movie that was awarded with 8 Oscars was a film with no well known actors, that showed the poor aspirations of India. However, it is not an authentic Indian movie, it is widely loved by all. It’s about a boy who pays homage to Bollywood by using technology. There’s lots of colors, a happy musical dance ending and it’s just the typical fairy tell happily ever after story. Because it’s not a Bollywood movie, but has the same characteristics some are saying that more Hollywood movies will start mimicking the flick. Those who watched the film claimed to of learning a lot more a bout the culture. It is quite possible that more foreign films could be made more popular just because of this movie. Who knows! Maybe we’ll be seeing more musical Indian films that we expected.
