Deriving its name from its American equivalent, Bollywood is the highly successful Indian movie industry predominantly based in Bombay and Madras. Every day more than 14 million people go to the cinema across India to watch films produced by this massive and powerful industry. In India, movies are not just a form of entertainment, it is practically a religion. Movie stars are treated like demi-gods, no match even for American standards of celebrity obsession. Bollywood Dreams begins with a vignette of thetouring caravans that bring Bollywood on the big screen to India`s villages in portable tents. We then follow the Indian film from its creation on the movie set, to the larger-than-life stars, directors, and character actors, to the editing chamber, to the city streets where ubiquitous promotional posters abound, and finally, to the multitude of movie theatres that abound in India.
