Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood,in the United States. However,the real movie capital is Mumbai,in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay,and so the film industry there is called “ Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood,more than 800 films a year.

However,the movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing,Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Bollywood films have many different features,such as singing,dancing,action,adventure,mystery and romance. This style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. “Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices (调味品) .

Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact,filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such great need that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot (拍摄) scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story,shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than that of Hollywood movies.
