Bollywood : the Hollywood of India 

   You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year,and that number continues to grow. Just as the movie capital of the United States is Hollywood,the movie capital of India is Bombay (孟买) ,but it is usually called "Bollywood”,a combination (结合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood.

     No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances. In fact,music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean.

   Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music,but it is very like Hollywood in several ways. If Tom Cruise can hold a gun,so can the Bollywood hero Shahrukh Khan. Bollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars. The personal lives of actors and actresses catcb the headlines (头版头条) ,just as they do in the United Statf.

   The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America. Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars,and they are also very exciting.
