However, strong new relationships quickly pothole. Bollywood producers boycott multiplexes in India for two months this spring, refused to release the new film as a revenue-sharing dispute. When the boycott was regrettable from the standpoint of the United States. Only when the new crop of fans would like to see Indian films and theater-dominant U.S. began to show them-boycott occurred.
But the newcomer is a little disappointing issue of Bollywood. Boycott estimated to have cost the Indian film industry $ 63 million, which is a lot, because it only generates about $ 2 billion per year. After the boycott ended in June, much needed blockbuster Bollywood. Luckily, we got one right away, with the success of U.S. films.
'New York', the first major release since the dispute was resolved, grossed 350 million rupees ($ 8 million) during the first weekend in June 26, it does not sound like much by American standards, but made especially Indian films because ticket prices are much cheaper. Directed by Kabir Khan and starring John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan, New York is about three friends in New York on 9/11. Abraham, who had been dismissed as eye candy, delivered a performance strong enough to establish it as a serious actor. Her character, Sam, is as American as apple pie, going through painful experience after 9/11, because he is a Muslim, and Abraham is more than meets the requirements of the role. Mukesh is a place like Sam's college friend, Omar sensitive, fearful intelligence and trying hard to save his own skin, and his best friend. Kaif gave a competent performance as the wife of Sam, despite the limitations of his character somewhat retarded. And Khan is impressive as usual, this time as a Muslim FBI agent who uses any means necessary to catch terrorists. The plot is not without flaws, and the climax could have been better finessed, but this film is the story of a smart, balanced and attractive friendship and betrayal, persecution and patriotism, told from the perspective of minority Americans.
The success of 'New York' bodes well for the next major release of Bollywood July 3 is 'Kambakkht Ishq', which also features an American story-a romantic comedy about an Indian specialist in Hollywood and a troubled relationship with the model. Movie stars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor and features cameos by Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards. This is the first time that the likes of Hollywood star has appeared in Bollywood films, and the public can expect to see more of him.
Hollywood and Bollywood that combines today, with a lot of money driving mergers and financial forces brought together the two sectors even before 'Slumdog' is. Last September, DreamWorks, the Hollywood studio co-founded by the famous film director Steven Spielberg, signed a $ 1.5 billion to produce films with Indian entertainment conglomerate Reliance ADA Group. DreamWorks seek funding dependency since ending her relationship with Paramount Pictures, and since the two world's largest film industry yet to break one another crazy film market. Hollywood movies capture a small part of India as a foreign film made in the U.S. And while Bollywood produces only a tenth of annual income that is not Hollywood, whose revenues grew 17% per year, compared with annual Hollywood less than 3%. Bollywood produces more films and attract a much larger audience, her partner on the other side of the world.
Reliance and DreamWorks are not the only one trying to get into the game on the other side. UTV Motion Pictures of India, the parent company partly owned by Disney, and the co-financing and co-production of Hollywood movies. Similarly, Sony Pictures opened in India a few years ago and make their own films in Hindi-, and Disney's animated movies are made for the Indian market in collaboration with Yash Raj Films Bollywood.
While the perpetrators of cross-pollination has not yet begun in earnest, several Bollywood actors have been in Western cinema, namely superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who appeared in "The Mistress of Spices" (2005) with Dylan McDermott, "The Last Legion" (2007) with Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley, and "Pink Panther 2" (2009) with Steve Martin. Aishwarya reportedly will appear with Meryl Streep in a Hollywood remake of 'Chaos' 2001 film France. soon be able to add actor Anupam Kher India in the list, which was launched Woody Allen in the picture, along with 'Slumdog Millionaire' Freida Pinto (who, incidentally, never worked in Bollywood). Reportedly, Sharon Stone and Amitabh Bachchan will be acting together in a project that will come, as will Bipasha Basu and Billy Zane with his picture set in India.
Bollywood films have been shot outside the venue-from South Africa to Switzerland, for some time. In fact, it is one of the hallmarks of Hindi films, if the principal is not surprising, at least one or two musical numbers were shot in an exotic place. The U.S. has become a popular choice in recent years. Since 2006, eight major Indian films have been shot in New York alone, with an emphasis on recognizable landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Grand Central Station.
Bollywood not just make a movie here, but also opened their own theater.
