| Bollywood:
The glamourous Indian film industries |
 |
Struck
with the glamour and riches of India's film city, thousands of aspiring
actors come to Bombay every year. Only a handful will be successful but
that does not keep the majority of would-be stars away. |
Taking
full advantage of this migration, numerous acting academie and acting
schools have sprung up alongside the film industry. Bombay's acting
schools teach many invaluable lessons in the art of acting. Fights and
action scenes are an essential ingredient in any Indian blockbuster film.
Newcomers who want to get into the industry are prepared to pay up to $800
to learn such techniques. For most however the dream never materialises,
but that doesn't stop hopefuls coming from all over India. The stars are
hero-worshipped. Often they are elevated to cult status and it is their
popularity which ensures big takings at the box-office.
