NEW MILLENNIUM
• Indian cinema has now reached international audiences.
• A revolution of sorts has happened in terms of defining glamour, entertainment, budgeting, marketing and box office reports.
CHANGE OF THEMES OVERTIME
Earlier Bollywood films were largely based on
mythology and stories from the Hindu epics
Mahabharata and Ramayana.
Later onwards movies shifted focus on the concept
of joint families and what was the relation between a
daughter-in-law (bahu) and her mother-in-law (saas)
CURRENT SCENARIO
Showcasing serious, current issues like Tum Mile
which focused on the 26th July floods in Mumbai.
Some movie themes are based on certain
personalities, like Mary Kom.
Whereas a few concentrate on youth and the fatal
side of the silver screen, for example, Heroine or
Student of the Year.
