Indian cinema has undergone massive changes since its inception in 1913. It started with silent movies and transitioned to talkies in 1931 and colored films today. Dadasaheb Phalke is considered the father of Indian cinema for directing the country's first feature film in 1913. Over the decades, the themes of Bollywood films have shifted from being based on Hindu epics to focusing on family relationships and contemporary social issues. More recently, Indian cinema has gained international audiences and undergone a revolution in terms of production values, marketing, and box office revenues.

9. CHANGE OF THEMES
OVERTIME
 Earlier Bollywood films were largely based on mythology and
stories from the Hindu epics Mahabharata and Ramayana.
 Later onwards movies shifted focus on the concept of joint
families and what was the relation between a daughter-in-law (bahu)
and her mother-in-law (saas)

10. CURRENT SCENARIO
 Showcasing serious, current issues like Tum Mile which focused on
the 26th July floods in Mumbai.
 Some movie themes are based on certain personalities, like Mary
Kom.
 Whereas a few concentrate on youth and the fatal side of the silver
screen, for example, Heroine or Student of the Year.
