At the suggestion of citizen rules I am starting India corner . Of course I have my Bollywood movies thread .
India has several film industries . Bollywood is the main , producing films in the hindi language . But there are also others in other parts of the country ; yeah , the country is more like a continent with different languages in other parts of the country and their own film industries in those languages . South indian films in their respective regional languages are most influential in their states . Many south film stars have become chief ministers of those states . Temples have been built where people pray to idols of the film stars . Cases have occurred where people have committed suicide when they heard that their favourite film stars are not well in health or dead .
My own language ( mother tongue ) is marathi . But marathi films are overshadowed by the presence of Bollywood in the same state in Mumbai/Bombay . Anyway the marathi people are not mad for films anyway . So I mostly see Bollywood films or english films . But the first film ever made in India was by Dadasaheb Phalke , a marathi . It earn't so much money that the money had to be transported in bullock carts !! The Indian film industry hasn't looked back since then and is the largest cinema making place in the world .
