Bollywood (Hindi: बॉलीवूड, Urdu: بالی وڈ) is the informal term popularly used for the Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry in India.

View Photo »India is a virgin territory as far as professional fighting is concerned. Launching a sport here without a bat and a ball is like launching a Bollywood film without song and dance. But what we have to offer is 'sportainment' with world-class fighters competing in the best of the rings. Our action films ...
For my new show called the 'Oprah's Next Chapter', I am doing a story all about India, and I wanted to see all aspects of India to see a broad view of what it is like to be an Indian. It is very revealing and I would say amazing to me ... so I met the people from Bollywood and other aspects
Everyone connected with the project felt that a Hindi version of 3 was the need of the hour especially with its track Kolaveri di busting charts across the world. Then the way the song was shot, it sounded even better than expected. Only Dhanush had misgivings. He felt his Bollywood debut should not be ...

Yes, I agree, I started off very well, but then nothing exciting came my way. I was a very hi-profile model in Delhi and was treated like a queen. When the shift to Bollywood happened, it wasn't very exciting because women just get offered all multi-starrers here. I did not 'PR' myself well. I was never...
The Punjabi industry lacks a lot in terms of good production houses and actors. Actors who are talented try to take a jump and start their career from Bollywood. But when they don't get enough recognition, they come back to other options
We require good filmmakers. I have seen that many Bollywood filmmakers are ready to take the plunge into Punjabi cinema. We need such people who are technically sound and understand Punjabi cinema
People have still not understood that Trishna is an Indian film. And before any film becomes a Bollywood movie, it’s an Indian film. So, Trishna is, 100 per cent, an Indian film.
He is bigger than Bollywood and greater than Gandhi
It is one that Kareena Kapoor wore in Bollywood film `Three Idiots'. It has since been named as 'Kareena pattern'.
Most of the top Bollywood actors can ensure the initial success of a show and boost viewership ratings tremendously. After that, if a show has intrinsic strength, its chances of shoring up big advertising revenues automatically multiply
My dad was kicked out of a film. He had managed to get the heroine on board and then he got kicked out. He always told me that Bollywood was very unpredictable and that I should go with the flow and take setbacks in my stride.
Well, strictly speaking I am not disillusioned. But I haven't done many mainstream films — apart from The Dirty Picture over the last five or six years, all the films I have done are off the beaten track. Hence, I am a bit of an outsider and I am not really a part of Bollywood — I don't mingle with them...
I think the west will cease to be interested in Bollywood unless we produce something of substance pretty soon.
In Mumbai, while the President was in discussions on trade relations between the two countries, the first lady visited with a group of orphans and runaways, kicking off her shoes to play hopscotch with them, dancing and shimmying to the beat of a song from a Bollywood movie
People here are kind of bored. The only things being screened are commercial Bollywood films or local Afghan films. We don't look back much.
Almost any actor you have in Bollywood is bracketed into a type. John Abrahan will always be the hunky guy. Whatever has clicked with the audience before is repeated again in films. In future I will be given the chance to do better things but as of now people are enjoying what I am best at
It's a very hypocritical step. Even if the censors ban it from releasing on the big screen, they can't stop people from watching it on pirated DVDs. Since Pakistani films aren't anywhere close to the popularity of Bollywood, they should allow our films to run in theatres for their own good
There is no discrepancy here. While a lot of things change in Bollywood with the brand building, money doesn't go up with every film.
Kolaveri has generated huge revenues and has become a success for Techzone and the telecom industry. Out of the total Bollywood download market, regional content is 25 per cent, but with Kolaveri Di we have achieved 40 per cent of the market.
I have contaminated the film industry. If not I, then someone else would have done those bold acts. Cinema has to evolve. I was the face of something that was bold, that raised eyebrows. Some of the cultural dictators of the film industry said what he (Emraan) has done, this is not Bollywood, what kind ...
This coincides with the time when the distribution and exhibition sector in Pakistan is getting a boost only due to Bollywood. So it's all the more ironical on part of the board to take such a harsh stance
But now our artists are among the most sought-after in Bollywood. Why can’t we do that for theatre?
