“Whenever you are confronted with an opponent conquer him with love.”-Mahatma

Gandhi.

We can see such kind of wisdom almost in all Indian movies that teach us to be kind,

honest, brave and intelligent.

Do you know the history of Bollywood?

The naming scheme for "Bollywood" was

inspired by "Tollywood", the name that was used to refer to the cinema of West Bengal. Dating back to 1932, "Tollywood" was

the earliest Hollywood-inspired

name, referring to the Bengali film industry based in Tollygunge,

whose name is reminiscent of

"Hollywood" and was the center of the

cinema of India at the time.

Raja Harishchandra (1913), by Dadasaheb Phalke, was the first silent feature film made in India. By the 1930s, the industry was producing over 200 films per annum. The first Indian sound film, Ardeshir Irani's Alam Ara (1931), was a major commercial success. There was clearly a huge market for talkies and musicals; Bollywood and all the regional film industries quickly switched to sound filming.In 1937, Ardeshir Irani, of Alam Ara fame, made the first colour film in Hindi, Kisan Kanya. The next year, he made another colour film, Mother India. However, colour did not become a popular feature until the late 1950s. At this time, lavish romantic musicals and melodramas were the staple fare at the cinema.
