Down-linking of BD TV Channels in India

[Icewolf]

Sorry... thats a pathetic excuse for the 2nd largest film industry in the world.

I think Bollywood is largest not 2nd largest??

 

[livingdead]

Same as Indian ones.

Anyways I heard a joke about the serial industry that every actor has to submit his passport size photo to the studio.....so that when he/she ask for more pay or have a squabble with the studio, he/she can be 'killed' off with ease. All the studio has to do is to enlarge the passport size photo, put a garland around it and tell that the character died in a terrible 'car accident'.

DD used to make some good serials, even if you watch the rerun of them on private channels, you will like them.
The mega serials in particular has no head or tail.
Anyway, even in UK, 'eastenders' is quite popular, but a sh*t serial.
Like I said, women will be women.

Here is how they respond to power demand (due to synchronized boiling of kettle after eastender)

May be by the number of films..not the budget.

Bcs they had the monopoly (once upon a time) and all the best talents in the country worked for them including biggies like Shyam Benegal who made 'Bharat Ek Khoj'.

From What I read:

Bollywood is $5 Billion Industry with 20% Growth p.a.

While the Rest of all Film Industries (Rest of the country: South, Bengali, Bhojpuri) Combined is Worth $1 Billion.

I think Bollywood is largest not 2nd largest??

That's a Myth. All Indian Film Industries of Which Bollywood is a Subset make over 1000 Films Per Year.

Bollywood hardly makes 100 Films Per Year.

Bollywood films of 2011 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But It's Worth $5 Billion (Second Largest after Hollywood)

How the National Grid responds to demand - YouTube

Most Bollywood movies are crap. I usually watch Bengali movies(Calcutta made) which suits my taste.

Nope..Bollywood is a part of the Indian film industry which apart from Bollywood comprises of:

Cinema of India
Assamese cinema
Bengali cinema
Bhojpuri cinema
Gujarati cinema
Marathi cinema
Konkani cinema
Oriya cinema
Punjabi cinema
Kannada cinema
Malayalam cinema
Tamil cinema (Kollywood)
Telugu cinema (Tollywood)
Tulu Cinema

These are the important ones. There are also others like the 2011 National Film Award for Best Film was won by a film made in Beary language.
