Bollywood is the nickname for India's massive film industry, which is the largest in the world, producing more films annually than Hollywood. It originated with the first Indian short film in 1898. Bollywood films are known for their musical numbers, singing, dancing, and colourful costumes, often lasting up to four hours. While themes can include family relationships and villains, they frequently focus on romantic 'boy meets girl' stories, which some find predictable. Bollywood's largest audience outside India is in Britain, where many Indians reside. The industry has also gained international recognition with popular films in English, and its influence is even seen in attractions like Madame Tussauds.
