2. Introduction
Hindi cinema, often known as Bollywood and formerly as Bombay
cinema, is the Indian Hindi-language film industry based
in Mumbai (formerly Bombay). The term Bollywood came from “B” of
"Bombay" and “Ollywood” from "Hollywood".
According to OxfordDictionaries.com, the word "Bollywood"
originated during the 1970s, when Indian cinema overtook Hollywood
in film production.
3. Father of Indian Cinema
Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, popularly
known as Dadasaheb Phalke (30 April
1870 – 16 February 1944), was an Indian
producer-director-screenwriter, known
as the Father of Indian cinema. His debut
film, Raja Harishchandra, which was the
first Marathi cinema, was the first Indian
movie in 1913,
4. Early history (1890s–1940s)
Dadasaheb Phalke's silent Raja Harishchandra (1913) is the first feature film
made in India. By the 1930s, the industry was producing over 200 films per
year. The first Indian sound film, Ardeshir Irani's Alam Ara (1931), was
commercially successful. With a great demand for talkies and musicals,
Bollywood and the other regional film industries quickly switched to sound
films.
5. Golden Age (late 1940s–1960s)
The period from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, after India's independence,
is regarded by film historians as the Golden Age of Hindi cinema. Some of the
most critically acclaimed Hindi films of all time were produced during this
time.
The three most popular male Indian actors of the 1950s and 1960s were Dilip
Kumar, Raj Kapoor, and Dev Anand, each with a unique acting style.
6. Classic Bollywood (1970s–1980s)
By 1970, Hindi cinema was thematically stagnant and dominated by
musical romance films. The arrival of screenwriting duo Salim-Javed (Salim
Khan and Javed Akhtar) was a paradigm shift, revitalising the industry. They began
the genre of gritty, violent, Bombay underworld crime films early in the decade
with films such as Zanjeer (1973) and Deewaar (1975).
The name "Bollywood" was coined during the 1970s, when the conventions of
commercial Bollywood films were defined. Key to this was the masala film, which
combines a number of genres (action, comedy, romance, drama, melodrama,
and musical)
