Blog #9: Bollywood

In the United States we have Hollywood. In India they have Bollywood. In the United States Sean Penn and Kate Winslet were nominated the best actor and actress of the year. While in India Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra were nominated best actor and actress of the year. Bollywood has an award ceremony called the Filmfare Awards. The Filmfare Awards are somewhat similar to the Oscars. After watching a Bollywood film for the first time I realized that they are not that different compared to movies here in the U.S. Yes, Bollywood and Hollywood have their similatirities, but they alsohave their differences. In Bollywood films there is more singing and dancing. While Hollywood films that have singing and dancing are known as musicals. Overall both actors and actresses of Bollywood and Hollywood are very talented people.
