On Tuesday, the Hindu Student Council hosted an exhibit to portray the world of South Asian culture known as "Bollywood" at Baruch College. Many of the themes included pictures of movie stars from Bollywood films and the songs they perform in as well.
The event also showcased numerous Bollywood styles that are currently considered to be luxurious.
As an upcoming cultural surge in the world, Bollywood and its productions are changing the face of diversity amongst nations. With many similarities to that of the American film enterprise that is Hollywood, Bollywood stands to become a unique blend of both South Asian culture and western style attitude. Without either facet, Bollywood would be a single thread of creativity.
It is apparent that Bollywood films have drawn in very diverse crowds due to their different genres and styles found in theater releases. As a result, the uniqueness of Bollywood movies has caused record-breaking sales throughout much of South Asia.
According to Bollywood actor Isha Koppikar, "There are various categories of films and titles that hold different significance for different genres of films." Bollywood movies have changed the filmmaking industry through their use of scenery and different fashion designs.
The Hindu Student Council showcased many of Bollywood's attributes. As society changes, it will not be long before Bollywood will completely fuse with the Western world.
