Bollywood comes to Carnegie Mellon
The Tartan Online: "Bright lights, great music, energetic dancers, and an entertaining cast of actors lit up the Wiegand Gym on Feb. 23 with a Mellon Masala, a fun and diverse performance in the style of a Bollywood film. Produced by Mayur South Asian Student Alliance (Mayur-SASA), the show drew together all the elements of a typical Bollywood movie — song, dance, romance, and melodrama — and wove them together to create a great production. Bollywood is the Indian version of Hollywood, centered at Mumbai, the hub of entertainment in India which churns out more than 1000 movies a year."

I don't think that Mellon Masala is exactly representational of the Bollywood genre, but it is an area that I want to explore more. Bollywood is apparently pumping out more movies than Hollywood, and while they not have the same international coverage, it is a quickly growing industry in India. As global communications and media advance, it will be interesting to see if Bollywood ever makes it's way over to the US.
