Перевод:
Индийская киноиндустрия называется Болливуд. Ее имя было дано от Голливуда в Америке. Это самая большая киноиндустрия в мире, производящая около 800 фильмов ежегодно. Болливудские постановки очень музыкальные, и они имеют дело с такими темами как любовь, замужество, семья и преступность.
За пределами Индии, у Болливуда большое количество последователей в Британии, где как индийские, так и британские фанаты наслаждаются популярными болливудскими фильмами.
