comparing hollywood and bollywood

Film industry is the world of dreams. It is a multi billion industry. You can create what you can't
create in real life. It's the world of fantasy and creation. There are many kinds of films that are
being released nowadays. Hollywood is the American film industry. Next to Hollywood is
Bollywood, which is Indian film industry. In Bollywood films are made in Hindi.
Hollywood and Bollywood are the two main locations where commercial and art films are made.
Bollywood produces nearly 98 percent commercial films and the remaining 2 percent makes up
the art films. Hollywood however makes approximately 80 percent commercial films and 20
percent art films.
Commercial and Art cinema are two kinds of films. Commercial films are in turn divided into
many types. In commercial cinema there will be a hero, heroin and a villain, whereas in art films
we will find only common characters, which are close to nature and real.
Art films are generally made with a low budget, while commercial films are generally made with a
high budget. Art films are somewhat close to nature like daily life, for example "1947 EARTH",
which is an Indian film and it is an art film. In this movie there are big stars like Amir khan and
Rahul khanna but they are not the heroes of the film and there are no heroes in that movie. It is the
story of the partition of Bharth after independence. And the movie runs only according to the
subject and human emotions.
Commercial films are generally made for making money. Commercial films are thrillers, horror,
comedy or action. Seldom, do we find Hollywood commercial films without sex and vulgarity.
Without any reason, some of the filmmakers are keeping sex in the movie just for making money.
But there are some directors who make clean films without vulgarity. For instance, Steven
Spielberg is one who makes clean movies like Jurassic park, Amistad, Saving private Ryan etc, in
which he concentrates only on the subject of the movie; he never diverts the story by keeping sex
and vulgar language. An example of a commercial film is "Final destination", which is suspense
thriller .An example of complete action film is "Die hard", and for comedy is "The Mask".
In Bollywood a typical commercial film means the film with songs, action, comedy and romance.
In other words, a Hindi movie is called "masala" which means a "mixture". In Bollywood sex is
not shown in the movies since the culture will not allow. There are strict rules by the censor board
for removing sexual content and vulgar language. Whereas in Hollywood, the censor board just
rates the film as an adult or a children movie, but nobody follows it.
Commercial movie lovers say art films are boring and slow. Art films have subjects related to

human emotions and are made in a poetic vision. Generally art films never make as much money
as commercial movies do, but art movies get more awards than commercial ones when compared
to their percent of production. Thus, these are the features of Hollywood and Bollywood art and
commercial cinema.
