Speaking to OprahMag. Now, Bollywood is the thing. There are so many kinds of movies that are coming out. Everyone wants a piece. It's cool to watch Bollywood now. The popularity of Bollywood movies is reflected statistically, too. Now, though, Bollywood's century-old industry is reaching a new challenge: How to surmount the global pandemic , and maintain its growing momentum? At the moment, Bollywood movies are available to watch via streaming—even if they're often best enjoyed in theaters.
Here's what you need to know as you begin your own Bollywood cinematic experience. Indian cinema evolved separately from Hollywood, and retains its own characteristics. One of the most striking examples of Bollywood's unique aesthetic are the movies' use of song and dance. According to Ciolfi, this element was borrowed from "classical theater, where music, singing, and dancing play an important part. Typically, the music scenes are woven into the narrative plot, like small detours from reality.
The singing is rarely done by the actors, giving another sense of breaking from the narrative. According to film critic Gupta, who also wrote the 50 Films That Changed Bollywood, , song was a way for characters to express their feelings.
Things that were not allowed in the public domain, [filmmakers] would put into a song. The audience knew that this was make-believe," Gupta says, fondly recalling times when fellow movie-goers would dance in the aisles during songs.

She was known for her collaborations with Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi, who died in As Bollywood movies become more and more realistic, these musical sequences—which featured lip synching—have changed, too.
Instead, a song will usually play in the background of the scene. Music continues to be a fixture of Bollywood movies, however, with songs from films living on as pop hits. You could be saying something, but if there's music, you could be adding something to that scene. The period between the '40s to the '60s is considered the Golden Age of Hindi Cinema. During this time, critically acclaimed movies like Pyaasa and Mother India came out, offering incisive and thought-provoking takes on society.
But according to Gupta, many—though not all—Bollywood movies made later in the 20th century were marked by a similar formulaic quality. The leading lady had to be completely pure," Gupta tells OprahMag.
Just as the romantic heroes came together at the end, side characters reached similar fates across movies, too, with outsized villains and "bad girls" meeting their fates.
In recent years, Gupta has noted a shift in Bollywood films toward realism, and breaking from formulas.
