Indian cinema began in the late 19th century with screenings of short films in Bombay in 1896. The first full-length Indian films were released in 1912 in Marathi and 1916 in Tamil. Over time, Indian cinema evolved to incorporate elements of Indian culture like music and dance. It grew into several regional industries like Bollywood in Hindi, and also Bengal, Gujarati, Punjabi and others. Indian cinema was impacted by independence and partition in the mid-20th century and went through periods of growth and evolution to become a global commercial enterprise and cultural influence by the 1990s.
