Bollywood is a loose name stolen from the word ‘Hollywood’ for Hindi film industry in India.

Although Bollywood has a very bad reputation in the global film markets because of the poor quality of its films, the Bollywood actors exploit the sentiment of uneducated Indians by falsely projecting themselves as glamor gods and goddesses.

With over 800 films produced in India every year, India is the largest film production market in the world in terms of just the number of films produced. Although many regional language films are also produced in India, Bollywood is the main hub for Indian films.

Most Bollywood movies target the poor or lower-income groups of people who don’t have any other means of entertainment. Bollywood is perhaps the worst film market in the world while Bollywood movies are so bad in quality that they look like amateur marriage videos.

Obviously, Bollywood movies are made on shoestring budgets. Here the average production cost of an upmarket movie is just $3 million. And a high-end Bollywood movie earns a paltry $5 million or so at the box office.

No wise person wastes time on watching Bollywood movies. Only those consumers who behave with a herd mentality become fans of Bollywood actors and kill their time on their films. Are you a Bollywood film fan?
