Bollywood is the nickname for the Indian film industry. It's not new - the first Indian short film was made in 1899. It is the largest film industry in the world, making up to eight hundred films a year.
Bollywood films are actually more like musicals, with lots of singing, dancing and
colourful costumes. They can be about
family relationships.
Bollywood's biggest audience outside India is in Britain, where many Indians went to live about fifty years ago. There are even Bollywood waxworks at Madame Tussauds!
